Chapter 347:

Initially, Lanny basked in contentment, savoring wine and reveling in the melodies that filled the air. But the tranquility shattered as soon as Glenda returned home, unleashing a storm of confrontation upon him. Impatiently, he inquired, “Are you out of your mind?

Glenda’s countenance darkened, her words slicing through the air with icy precision. “I crossed paths with that madwoman.”
