Chương 233: His Favorite Painting

It was around ten in the evening when everyone in the mansion settled down. Simione had finished dinner and was then on her nightgown looking through the big glass window admiring the tranquility of the scenery outside. The moon was bright and the trees beneath danced gracefully in the night breeze.
