He repeated this process several times. When he looked up at the time again, he realized it was already 4

It’s so late, and she still hasn’t returned. Is the celebration banquet taking this long?

Edgar sat blankly on the sofa, and suddenly, the scene of Sylvia’s dinner party inexplicably appeared in his mind, where everyone was cheering and urging Sylvia and Adrain to have a toast.

He immediately stood up.

No! Absolutely not!

He turned around and headed towards the door, but before he reached the garden, he was stopped by Fifteen and Seventeen.

“Mr. Fallen, it’s very late. You can’t go out in the middle of the night.”

“I’m going to find Sylvia.”

Fifteen and Seventeen remained unmoved. “Miss will come back after she finishes handling things, and besides, she has Brother Eleven protecting her. Just be patient and wait.”

Edgar frowned, his face growing cold.

If it were Eleven tonight, things might be easier to negotiate. Fifteen and Seventeen had always disliked him, and they couldn’t be bothered to say a word to him unnecessarily.

The waiting time was often the longest and most agonizing. During this time, he thought about many things.

So this was what it felt like to wait all night long….

He looked up and stared at the clock hanging on the opposite wall, his gaze following the movement of the minute hand. Unconsciously, he fell asleep on the sofa.

He didn’t know how long had passed when the sound of the door opening woke him up.
