Cloudia hurried to catch up with Yorick's brisk pace.

Upon seeing Cloudia, Yorick was somewhat taken aback. "Cloudia, what are you doing here?"

Cloudia took a moment to catch her breath.

Yorick froze, caught off guard.

Orion stayed silent, equally taken aback.

It suddenly dawned on him why Stella had always been so cold towards the Larkins.

Orion, too, was surprised. He hadn't expected Cloudia to raise such a direct question about her own daughter. After all, hadn't the Larkins practically handed Stella off to Yorick two years ago? What was this change of attitude now? Yorick narrowed his eyes. "Did Ursula send you?"
