Chapter 599 A Leopard Can't Change Its Spots

• Michael's insistence that Christopher return today left him with no choice but to comply, unable to muster the courage to defy his father. Despite the hotel being closer to their home than West Garden, Michael's directive brooked no further delay. With his father already strained from dealing with Fanny's turmoil, Christopher dreaded the prospect of stoking his father's ire once again.
• "Heading home?" The woman flirtatiously batted her eyelashes. "Are you eager to return and keep your lady company? Perhaps she needs someone…"
• The "lady" being mentioned was a clear indication she meant Fanny. By insinuating that Fanny had company, she subtly jogged Christopher's memory about the situation involving Fanny and Kaydron.
