Elysia had just finished a painting and was about to wash her hands for dinner when the doorbell of Iskoria Villa rang. Since Faelan was busy in the kitchen, she quickly wiped her hands and rushed to open the door.

As soon as she opened it, she froze. “Zane, what are you doing here?”

“I was just passing by and thought I’d stop by to see Grandpa. Aren’t you happy to see me?” Zane asked with a playful smile.

“Oh, welcome! How could I be unhappy?” Elysia quickly stepped aside, gesturing for Zane to come in. “Have you had dinner yet?*

Zane said, “Not yet.”

Elysia smiled. “Perfect. Faelan made a feast.”

Faelan, hearing the noise, came out of the kitchen with a tray in hand. When he saw Zane, he looked a bit surprised. “Mr. Hartley? What brings you here?”

Faelan sounded a little surprised when he realized the usually elusive Zane had been coming around a lot recently. He turned to look at Elysia and found that every time she was around, Zane was sure to show up.

As a guess crossed his mind, Faelan couldn’t help but smile. He thought, ‘It seems Mr. Hartley isn’t entirely clueless–he acts in time. If he keeps doing this, he will soon get Elysia‘

Thinking this, Faelan flashed a grin and said, “Mr. Hartley, please have a seat.” He then went back to the kitchen to bring out two more dishes before heading to the studio to call Vincent for dinner.

However, when Vincent saw Zane, he frowned slightly. He then pulled out a chair and sat down. “How come you have time to visit?*

“I was just passing by and thought I’d stop by to check on you,” Zane replied as he poured Vincent a cup of tea.

Vincent didn’t say much. He knew Zane too well–he was obviously here for Elysia, and if he could win her over soon, it would settle one of his long–held wishes.
