Serena's heart sank further. Why was this incredibly insightful gentleman not willing to teach her personally, instead insisting on having her study under a tutor?
Was it because he was afraid she might outshine Rosemary?
It reeked of favoritism.
Afraid his own daughter would be surpassed.
"Serena, you've grown up pampered and sheltered. Everything your sister knows, she learned through grit and determination. You could start with some simple theory from a well-known tutor. Oh, what are you interested in? What do you want to learn?"
Serena flashed a sweet smile.
"I'll let you know when I decide what I want to learn. Dad, has Rosemary visited Grandpa in Dawnstar? How's his health?"
"Let me tell you, your sister is impressive. She spotted the problem as soon as she got there."
In his excitement, Kenneth got a swift kick from Louisa, reminding him to watch his words.
Sure enough, Serena's eyes dimmed for a moment before she quickly resumed her cheerful demeanor.
