章 178: Position of love

Music Recommendation: Road to Chicago- Thomas Newman

—

In the morning, when Eve was wearing her shoes she heard Aunt Aubrey ask, "Did the Hookes leave town?" 

Eve nodded, "They left yesterday."

"I see," Aunt Aubrey murmured to herself before exhaling the worry she had been holding in, since the Marchioness visit. 

Lady Aubrey was glad to hear about it, as having Marchioness' Aurora Hooke had left a troubling anxiousness in her mind. She didn't forget the day when her toes had been mercilessly trampled and crushed, leaving it bleeding, while the other folks attending the soiree hadn't offered to help her. Not even the family for whom she had been serving. 

"Does that day still haunt you?" Eve asked her aunt with a slight frown.
