“Who knows when you’d actually visit us if we never came here instead?” Emily beamed as she strode toward Winnie.

The latter immediately reached for the older woman’s hand. “It’s been a while, Grandma. How are you and Grandpa?”

“We’re good.” Emily took Winnie’s hand and gave it a pat before glancing at Joshua, who was next to her.

“But your grandfather’s been having some issues with his throat. He misses your beautiful singing voice and has been waiting for you to come back. But look at you! You did return, but here you are hiding away at Wilhelm’s place! Why didn’t you come straight to the manor instead?”

As Emily rambled on, Wilhelm stood behind Joshua obediently.

After greeting Joshua, Winnie cast her gaze on Wilhelm.

The latter shrugged innocently. “It wasn’t me. I didn’t tell them anything. We agreed on this, so of course I wouldn’t go back on my word.”

Hearing that, Joshua began to grumble, “You could’ve kept this whole thing a secret, but it’s Wilhelm’s fault for not being married despite his age. Your grandmother and I came over right after hearing that he’d brought a mysterious woman home, only to find you in his living room.”

“Oh, goodness!” Emily burst into laughter as she turned to the two youngsters before her. “Don’t listen to your grandfather’s nonsense. We only decided to drop by after confirming that you’re here, Winnie. It doesn’t matter when Wilhelm gets married. Even if he chooses not to, it’s his freedom. We won’t interfere or busy ourselves with his private life.”

“Come on, Darling. You don’t have to explain the obvious! The kids know how naturally funny I am and wouldn’t take my words to heart. Isn’t that right, Wilhelm?”

“Of course.” Wilhelm was envious of the relationship his grandparents shared, but he remained unmarried as he still hadn’t found the right partner yet.

Smiling, he continued, “I still remember the last time Grandpa called himself funny…”

As the man began to reminisce the past, Winnie sat on the bed and listened to them chatter away.

Despite only sitting there and listening quietly, she felt unimaginably warm on the inside.

Although the Speisers were aristocrats, and the elderly couple was the most distinguished lord and lady in the country, Winnie always felt relaxed whenever she was with them.

Even Wilhelm, who was usually cold and stern, became gentle and caring whenever he interacted with his family members.

Enjoying the sunny afternoon with them gave Winnie peace, and peace was exactly what she needed right now.

About an hour later, Joshua left for an appointment with a collector to appraise a newly unearthed antique that was said to be a century old.

Emily, on the other hand, remained behind.

Winnie was done washing up and getting dressed by now.

As someone who was always extremely well-dressed, Emily felt something lacking about the other woman’s attire.

“You should dress better, Winnie. You’re wasting your good looks and lovely figure.”

Winnie glanced at her own arm that was still hanging in front of her torso, not knowing how to respond.
