"It's already late. It's not safe."

"But..."

"This is not a negotiation." Shane interrupted her.

Charlotte's heart grew even heavier. With newfound courage, she pushed him away and went downstairs.

Just as she reached the first floor.

Charlotte came face-to-face with Madam Fuller Senior.

"Lottie, it's late. Are you going back?" Madam Fuller Senior asked, seeing that she came downstairs and was walking towards the gate.

"Uhm... grandma, I have troubles sleeping on unfamiliar beds."

She had really come up with a bad excuse.

Madam Fuller Senior stood up with a smile and came over to Charlotte's side to hold her hand. "Did Shane bully you?"

The bitterness in Charlotte's heart, which had been shoved away, resurfaced at Madam Fuller Senior's question.

Charlotte gently shook her head without saying a word.

"I heard about it from Ms Laura. It was about the piano, wasn't it? Don't pay attention to him. He's been like this since he was a child. He even got upset towards me when I asked him why he stopped playing the piano." The old lady brought Charlotte to the sofa and sat the two of them down.

"Grandma, I'm sorry for worrying you."

"At such an age, there are not many things that I can worry about. On the day I have nothing else to worry about, I'll join my husband in the afterlife."

Madam Fuller Senior was very understanding.

This made Charlotte feel even guiltier.

"So, listen to grandma and stay here for tonight. You can go back after having breakfast with grandma tomorrow, alright??"

Just as Charlotte was about to reply, someone opened the door from the outside.

In the entryway, Raina, who was wearing a gown, put away her umbrella. Her gaze was fiery as it landed on Charlotte.

Madam Fuller Senior said calmly, "Raina, you're back."

"Yes, Mom. I'm back," Raina replied, suppressing her anger.

She walked towards Charlotte step by step.

Charlotte pursed her lips. Although she was unhappy, she still greeted Raina politely. "Hello, Aunt Raina."

Raina stood in front of her, ignoring her completely. "But Mother, why is this outsider here?"
