At the Ahrens', Erin enjoyed a morning meal before stepping out of her residence. She immediately noticed a familiar figure standing by the door, resuming his role as her bodyguard. She looked at him, a light smirk playing on her lips. He returned her gaze with his usual cold, quiet demeanor and bowed to her.
Without a word, Erin climbed into her carriage while Luke mounted his horse to lead the way. They traveled to her father's residence to bid farewell to Luis and his daughter. Upon arrival, Luke opened the carriage door for Erin, who stepped out gracefully.
As she moved towards the entrance, she instructed, "Follow me inside," and proceeded ahead.
Luke obediently followed, entering the drawing room where the Ahrens were conversing with the Mortimers. At the sight of Luis, his fists clenched but he heard Erin who was walking a step ahead of him.
"You are at Ahrens. You need to learn to control your anger."
