Grinding her teeth, she clenched her fists in frustration 

“The brunch is ready, all prepared by Mr. Lockwood himself. Would you like to have it now?” 

“Mm–hmm, whese’s my brother? 

Mr. Nightshade is taking a walk around the estate.” 

“Call him back in a bit will you?” 

“Of course!”

got up, quickly straightened herself, and barely touched her breakfast when Samuel walked in, all smiles and in high spirits. 

“Not bad at all, Onon’s choice for the house is quite impressive.” 

Xanthea was like, “?” Anyone would think he was the one getting married.

He quickly looked away 

*Samuel, are you crying?” 

“Nonsense! The sand got in my eyes while I was outside. Let’s head back now, Mom, Dad, and Ethan are waiting for you.”
