章節 175: Surprise Reunion [2]

Adrian fell silent for a moment, absorbing the information. His thoughts turned to the head maid, Margery, a maternal figure who had always looked after him and his sister with great care. "Where is Aunt Margery? Why didn't she come with you?"

Uncle Gerald hesitated, his expression turning somber. Just as he was about to speak, Adrian interjected, a realization dawning on him. "Wait... has she gone to meet...?"

"...Yes. You are right, Young Master."
