章 154: Doting on the Girlfriend

Seeing Marcellus so flustered is a rare thing, so Harold can't help but be amused.

Having a feeling that this is going to be interesting, he stands up from his seat and follows after him. Currently, they're in the Lexington's main estate. It was his nephew's idea to bring Winter there instead of the Middleton's estate – of course with her brother's consent.

"I think it's going to stress her out even more if she goes back to the place where those 'people' lived," was what Marcellus reasoned.

As a result, August took control of the household in the meantime. With Victor's help, he's sorting everything out back there in preparation for her return. Their family company, on the other hand, has already recognized her as the new CEO after Cyrus and Grace's arrest, though their operations will have to remain on hold so as to give her more time to recuperate.

Trivia time~!

So, I've read a comment before, theorizing that it's the ML's family who killed FL's parents. Well, that's right. His reaction when he found out that she's part of the Middleton family was a foreshadowing, though he only had a hunch back then.

Also, there's a foreshadowing of how FL died in the previous timeline. It's when she's watching a horror movie with second ML before. There's that scene where someone got buried alive. I included that detail on purpose for that reason.
