After their rather unbelievable conversation in the study, Warren had gone to speak with Lord and LadyAshton regarding his plan, and Kyle had beenshownto the drawingroom. He still felt uncomfortable with accepting such generosity, but the truth of the matter was that he didn’t have much choice. He couldn’t go back to Victor. He didn’t have enoughmoneyto travelto his aunt’s and buy clothing enough so that he would be fit to be seen when he got there. And even if he had, Warren was right. If his aunt refused him, he might be stranded penniless ina strange town. The twins were waiting for him in the drawing room, and his entire conversationwiththeir uncle was dragged out ofhiminbarelya minute’s time. They seemed to think it was a brilliant plan and were, Kyle thought, genuinely pleased about the prospect of spending their holidaywithhim. “I knew my uncle would fix everything. He is the best and most generous of men,” Anna had said, smiling warmly. “I knew he wouldn’t let anythingbad happento you.”
