The night had deepened.

The moon was large tonight, hanging low in the sky.

After Keira stepped outside, a chill hit her, but she only felt exhilarated. The malice from being called an illegitimate daughter gradually dissipated without her noticing.

She looked ahead at Mr. and Mrs. Allen and

approached them. “What’s the matter? Is there an issue with Rebecca?”

“No,” Mrs. Allen said, “As we were leaving, we saw… that Poppy Hill woman creating a scene at the gate of the Horton family. We thought it would be better to intervene.”

Keira was startled, then promptly replied, “Right, okay.”

The Allens had returned after leaving, and she thought they had some important matter to discuss, but it turned out to be just that.

As she was pondering this, Mrs. Allen spoke again. “We just called Frankie, asking him to bring the repaired

evening? We would like to invite you for dinner and show you the photo.”

Keira was taken aback.

It was the second time tonight that Mrs. Allen had brought up that photo, asking her to see it…

Although she didn’t understand the reason, she knew Mrs. Allen meant her no harm, and she nodded right away. “I’m available.”

“Good, then Miss Keira, see you tomorrow evening.”

Mrs. Allen patted her hand and then turned to drag Mr. Allen out with her.

Mr. Allen asked quietly, “Why don’t you tell her your suspicion?”

“Without proof, what’s there to say? If the guess is wrong, wouldn’t that just upset Keira needlessly? Frankie will arrive tomorrow, and we can talk about it when we have the photo in hand in the evening. It’s better than anything. There’s no harm in waiting another day.”

Mr. Allen laughed. “Okay, whatever you say.”

Their low murmurs drifted faintly, making it hard for Keira to catch what they were saying. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but seeing them huddle together and whisper with laughter somehow gave off a sense of serene happiness.

Keira thought of how Taylor always carefully held Mrs. Olsen in his arms, going to great lengths to please her, all of which seemed too deliberate and servile.

Their relationship wasn’t harmonious like that of Mr. and Mrs. Allen.

In fact, from a young age, everyone could see that Taylor cherished Mrs. Olsen, treating her like a delicate treasure, yet Mrs. Olsen was rather aloof and didn’t seem to care as much about him.
