Upon hearing this, Jack smiled at Elysia. “Are you being harsh on them? Alright, let’s go with your suggestion.”

Fabian watched the pair as they shared whispers, their voices soft, with only a few words audible. The rest was hard to make out, but the expressions on their faces seemed somewhat strange.

Jack walked over to them with a stiff posture. “Youngsters, come with me,” he called out before striding ahead.

Raising an eyebrow, Fabian chose to stay silent and followed Jack outside.

Noticing that Fabian had left, Javier, who had seemed so relaxed before, turned to look at Elysia. Usually so expressive about his feelings, he found himself briefly at a loss for words. A faint smile spread across his face before he followed.

Elysia was momentarily captivated by the charm of his grin; it truly was enchanting, as if it marked the return of spring itself. His smile radiated warmth like a sunbeam shining through a winter’s chill–comforting and uplifting.

“Elysia, are you not coming with us?”

At the sound of Holden’s voice, Elysia snapped back to reality. She looked at him standing in the courtyard and replied casually, “You guys go ahead; I’ll join you shortly.”

Holden nodded and made his way out of the courtyard.

The once bustling courtyard soon fell into quiet. Elysia saw Moka lounging on the ground and bent down to give its head a gentle pat. “Moka, go find Phoebe and bring her to the river where we often go.”

Moka seemed to understand her request, getting up and scampering away from the courtyard. Elysia headed back inside to grab her gear before heading toward the river.

Connected to the wooden cottage was a quaint house, and the courtyard was much more spacious than the cottage itself. A little channel flowed directly into an outer stream.

The entrance had a simple wooden gate that gave off a rustic vibe, leading into a path made of stone slabs and lined with beautiful flowers.

The murmur of the flowing water was like a sweet song, and the air was filled with the lovely scent of the stream.

In the courtyard, there was a stone table and a swing, creating a peaceful atmosphere, like a hidden retreat in the hills.
