Chapter 141

• Clara Whitmore's POV
• James's birthday party was a long time past. I escorted him upstairs. The servants were cleaning up. They took me a beautiful remote control aircraft carrier they'd found near the door and gave it to James. He was elated. "What a beautiful remote control aircraft carrier! Who sent it to me?"
• I remained rooted there. Edward was meant to present James with an aircraft carrier that day. It had to be him. But why didn't he come into the room? Did he hear that Rupert and I were marrying tomorrow?
