Surprised Wife With Twins
Chapter 1673 Claire Summoned By The Queen

Chapter 1673 Claire Summoned by the Queen"Jolie, bring Claire to see me!" Catherine's eyes were a bit cold.

She wanted to take the opportunity to have a good chat with this girlbefore Ivan arrived, to advise her to turn back now and not do anythingfoolish.

Jolie also guessed the Queen's intentions. She bowed respectfully,"Yes." Then she stepped quickly out to fetch Claire, estimating that Mr.Marsh should be arriving soon as well.

In the luxurious palace, Catherine paced back and forth on the rabbitfur rug, in a very bad mood.

This Claire must be quite cunning, to have father and son wrappedaround her finger.

In the King's Palace-

Since Prince Taylor had been chased away, Claire felt very awkward.She also felt guilty, knowing the escalation didn't benefit anyone.

Yet the King didn't blame her at all. Instead he apologized, "I'm verysorry, Claire. He's ignorant and caused you distress.”

"Your Majesty," Claire was very concerned about Rowan's feelings.This matter must have spread through the royal family by now.

“I'm sorry, I didn't handle it well and caused you worry," Claireapologized again. "Please take care of your health."

The King's anger had aggravated his condition. Clutching his chest, hetook a deep breath. "Continue your studies. I'll go rest in my room."With Arthur's support, he headed towards his bedroom.

The King insisted Claire return to the study room and continue learning,refusing any assistance from her or letting her see him off.

Watching his retreating figure disappear through the doorway, Clairewas still in a daze, feeling a little down.

She wondered, if Rowan found out about today's incident, what wouldhe think? Would he misunderstand?

And if Queen Catherine knew, what would she think?

But Claire's deepest concern was whether this would implicate Rowan.She had to fully cooperate in keeping her identity hidden, as Rowanhad done.

The King's protection of her today made it obvious she was no ordinaryperson. Queen Catherine's captain of the guard Jolie was very shrewd.Still, Mr. Marsh would be arriving soon, bringing new hope.

Just as Claire gathered herself to return to the study, she heardapproaching footsteps, brisk and steady.

Soon, Captain Jolie appeared at the doorway, heading straight forClaire.

Their eyes met. Claire could tell she had come for her.

"Miss Claire," Jolie halted before her and relayed her orders evenly,"The Queen requests your presence."

Facing those cool, detached eyes, Claire had a bad premonition.

Had the Queen summoned her because of Prince Taylor's behaviortoday?

Claire didn't say anything or stall for time. She stepped forward, withJolie following behind.

Once downstairs and out of the palace, Jolie led the way to theQueen's palace, though Claire already knew where it was.

As they walked, Claire pondered like a writer - what questions wouldthe Queen ask?

As a mother, how would she feel upon hearing her son had beenchased out by his father?

Claire treated it as a story, profiling Queen Catherine's character. Howwould someone like her react in this situation?

Claire had only one thought - to protect Rowan.

She must not expose that she was Rowan's girlfriend. She couldn't letRowan worry while he was researching.

Soon the two peacocks at the palace gates came into view. Claire wasled inside by Jolie.
