The servant was poised to intervene, yet Benny preemptively opened the door.

Benny quietly studied Flossie’s expression.

“Since I was returning here anyway, I brought the freshly made soup myself,” Flossie explained with a slight smile, her eyes lowered.

“It’s still hot from the pot, and I worried it might spill, hence the request for assistance.

Please help me with it.

Not detecting any change in her expression, Benny ceased observing her and assumed responsibility for the tray, displaying a slight sense of guilt.

“I apologize.

I should have accompanied you.

It’s safer to entrust such tasks to the servant to avoid any accidental harm,” he said.

“I’m quite resilient,” Flossie remarked as she entered behind him, closing the door and exhaling a silent sigh of relief.

When she sat back on the sofa, Edmund observed her for a while.

Upon noticing no change in her demeanor, Edmund’s concerns eased, and he sipped the soup with a sense of relief.
