Chương 224: Someone Lost

"Uncle Alexander.", Eleanora almsot winced at the high sound of her own voice and gave him a strained smile. Had the older man heard the entire conversation? That would be so embarrassing...

"Eleanora. I thought I was late. Good thing, I found you here. Let's go. I've heard the labyrinth is beautiful and there might be treasure if we reach the end of the maze."

Eleanora grinned widely, relieved that the man had not heard her making a fool of herself and placed her hand on his arm, letting him guide her. She actually liked this man out of all the Sterlings after Dora of course. She was incomparable. But her uncle... Even though Alexander Sterling rarely visited her and only ever asked about her health, he made her think of a father. This is what her father would have been like. Or had been like and she did not remember.
