Chương 206: What To Do

 They rode back to the stables and left the horses with very tired-looking stable men. Miles was still quiet as they walked towards the manor. He took Delaney's arm to help her up the stairs in case they were slick from the snow and then he opened the door for her.

 They were barely through the doors when they heard someone say their names. They both paused and looked up in surprise, finding Cora and Violet standing there frowning at them with their arms crossed. Both women were in their nightgowns and robes with their hair braided down.

 "It's the middle of the night and there are all kinds of dangers in those woods," Violet shook her head, "How could you both be so foolish?"
