Chapter 85: AS PURE AS FRESHLY FALLEN SNOW

Dahlia and Grandma Virginia stepped into the house, their laughter lingering in the air from the day's shared adventure, only to be met with the unexpected sight of William, already settled in and savoring a cup of tea in his pajamas. Dahlia's lips parted in surprise, her eyes flickering with a mixture of emotions at the unexpected turn of events.

"William," Grandma Virginia called out, her face alight with feigned surprise. "Why are you here all of a sudden?" Her tone carried a subtle note of orchestrated surprise, her eyes dancing with a hidden agenda.

"I came to visit you. I didn't know you'd be here too." William replied, his gaze lingering on Dahlia, a silent exchange passing between them.

Grandma Virginia beamed, her satisfaction evident at the fruition of her plan. "That's great. I was actually worried that you'd be left all alone at the mansion. It's good you're here." She remarked, her words masking a deeper intention.
