The trio, who had originally intended to find Mr. Ross, were now standing quietly at the study door, eavesdropping.
"Do you think it's really okay for the two old folks to be arguing so loudly at their age?" Adam Ross glanced back at Charlotte Thompson.
"I always thought Mr. Ross was the fiercest one," Charlotte pursed her lips.
"It seems like Miss Clarkson might actually be a few years older than our Mr. Ross," Adam pressed his ear closer to the door.
"Yes, Grandmother should be four years older than Mr. Ross," Justin Battleson replied from beside him.
"Young master, what are you doing?"
The sudden voice from behind startled Adam so much that both Charlotte and Justin turned their heads as well.
Tyler Ross, with a face as panicked as Adam's, looked at the three of them.
"Uh... Mr. Battleson, Miss Thompson?"
At that moment, the sounds from the study quieted down.
Awkward silence enveloped both sides of the door.
