Chapter 371

"Mr. Etheridge, would you like me to drive you back to the old manor?" Luther asked.

Earlier today, when Luther had come to the manor to see Lyman, he'd learned from him that Effie was still asleep upstairs. Lyman had wanted to bring Effie along when he left, but she'd looked so peaceful, he'd decided not to wake her and headed out alone.
