I frowned faintly and paused for a moment before continuing, "I didn't get the box from auctions. It's just a keepsake left by my grandmother."

Elmore's face was slightly stunned for a moment before he smiled again, looking at me as he said, "In that case, I guess Miss Reid must be from a noble family. Ordinary families won't be able to afford to hire top-notch carpenters to make this box."

Speaking of that, he frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Although I'm not a native of Ucrebury, I'm still quite familiar with Ucrebury. I don't think I have heard of the Reid family in Ucrebury before!"

I smiled faintly and glanced at Evan. He understood what I meant. Then, he looked at Elmore and said, "Mr. Balton, you're thinking too much into this. We're just an insignificant family. Although this box was lef behind by our ancestors, we don't know if the box you bought is actually the Twin Box, so we still have yet to confirm it."

"By the way, it's getting late. We have to go back now."

Elmore's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at me and said, "Miss Reid, you..."

I smiled lightly and said, "I'm really sorry. I need to go back and take care of my kids."

With that, I got up. Elmore seemed to have something more to say, but when he saw that I was prepared to leave, he kept quiet.
