Stephanie felt inexplicably downcast.
When she woke up the next day, she felt groggy and sluggish, and she didn’t get out of bed until 10 o’clock, completely forgetting about the card game.
“Where is Dominick After waking up, she realized he was nowhere to be seen.
Just as she stepped out of the hotel suite, she bumped into Vincent. He was still holding a grudge against her for tricking him the previous night, so he said coldly. “You can go back to Reed Villa by yourself. He’s not going with you,
“Dominick went to the cemetery. Today is Jessica’s death anniversary.”
Dominick was supposed to accompany Stephanie back to Reed Villa, but when she heard that he was going to pay respects to his deceased ex–girlfriend today, Stephanie couldn’t help but think that he must have truly loved that woman.
The storm in Caelorium had finally stopped, yet she hesitated when she arrived at the hotel lobby,
She didn’t want to go back to Reed Villa.
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from the hotel entrance. It was an elderly voice filled with excitement. “Steffi…”
Stephanie’s expression flickered with disbelief as she quickly walked over, and her voice suddenly choked up with emotion as she said, “Grandma.”
“Steffi, it really is you. You’ve really come back! Where have you been all these years? Why didn’t you come back to visit us? Do you know how worried I’ve been?” said the elegant and dignified Samantha Reed with concern and frustration in her voice, her eyes brimmed with tears.
At that, Stephanie felt a pang in her heart and immediately embraced the elderly woman in front of her.
She hadn’t expected her grandmother to come to the hotel to pick her up personally, it had been six years since they last saw each other, and Stephanie currently felt both guilty and conflicted,
“Mr. George Wellington from Havencrest called us a few days ago,” Samantha said, her face lighting up with joy as she took Stephanie’s hand and led har into the car. “I watched you grow up from a child, so I know you very well. If I hadn’t come to fetch you myself today, you would have sneaked away. Now that you’re back, you are not allowed to run off again, okay?
“By the way, where is Mr. Wellington?” Samantha asked as she excitedly looked around.
After getting into the car with Samantha and hearing the question, Stephanie looked conflicted. “He’s busy with some important matters today.”
“That’s understandable, as the sole heir of the third generation of the Wellington family, he surely has a lot to do,” Samantha said, her face still beaming with excitement. “Steffi, I heard you’ve already gotten a marriage license with him. You’ve really done well to become part of the Wellington family. I’m so happy for you.”
Stephanie’s expression stiffened at her words. She felt as if this family reunion had suddenly taken an unpleasant turn.
Meanwhile, the car smoothly headed toward Reed Villa. Along the way, Samantha excitedly asked Stephanie many questions about the Wellington family but nothing about how she had been over the years.
This realization then darkened Stephanie’s expression. Just as they reached the entrance to Reed Villa, she could hear the excited chatter from inside the
villa.
“It’s been so many years since we last met. Oh my, you’ve lost so much weight. Samantha said we were expecting an important quest today, but I had no idea it was you, why didn’t you let me know beforehand?”
