Peter Aria returned to The Arias, paying a visit to Madam Aria first.
Upon seeing Peter Aria, a faint smile broke through Madam Aria's usually stern face.
"You finally deemed it fit to come see this old woman."
"Mother. It's my fault for neglecting your feelings while I've been running about these past few months."
Peter Aria decided not to tell Madam Aria about the child, so as not to get the old woman's hopes up for nothing.
"I miss that child Aubree Groove... I wonder when she will return."
Madam Aria sighed. To outsiders, she claimed that Aubree had gone abroad for further study, yet she had received no news and not even a phone call.
How could Madam Aria not be worried?
"Recently, I have been dreaming about Vanessa. She asked me to take good care of her daughter. But I am too ashamed to face her." Madam Aria said, tears streaking down her old face.
