His Jilted Bride (Historical Regency Romance)
“Alex, his oldest brother, blinked his brown eyes at him from behind his wire-rimmed spectacles. “No.
Why?”
Elijah leaned back against the cushions on the settee, refusing to meet either of his brothers' curious gazes. “I just wondered.”
“A man doesn't just wonder that,” Alex commented.
“At least not if he knows what's best for him,” Henry finished, an unspoken message meant for only Elijah in those words.
Elijah ran his hand through his thick hair. “Forget I said anything.”
“We can't. You've already done said it,” John Banks, Elijah's uncle, said plainly as he led a small group of gentlemen who included Elijah's cousins' husbands and his brother-in-law, Sir Wallace Benedict into the room. “Now we're all curious.”
“Just so,” Andrew Black, Earl of Townson, one of Alex's closest friends and the husband of Elijah's outspoken cousin Brooke, agreed as he found a seat on a nearby settee.
Alex didn't seem to mind the intrusion and Elijah didn't even want to venture a look at Henry.
