Winslet observed Madeline as she lowered her head and consumed her oatmeal in a subdued manner.

Madeline did not believe the Larson family would ever entertain remorse or repentance toward her during this lifetime. That was why she intended to sever her ties with the Larson family entirely and without reservation.

A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Madeline had always been an adept performer.

There was only a mere 48 hours remaining until the engagement cancellation banquet.

Benjamin came by at noon.

After a short chat with Winslet, he saw Madeline, who was engrossed in weeding the courtyard. His demeanor appeared slightly unsettled.

"Maddie, you seem to be in a decent mood today," he commented. "Even if our compatibility is in question, and we dissolve the marriage arrangement, maintaining a friendship is plausible We can value each other's presence, and I'll hold you in the regard of a sister."
