"But aren't you worried about leaving Mr. Collins here alone after you go to Whaldorf City?"

Shannon chuckled mischievously. "There's a butler and caretakers here with him.

Besides, my grandma will soon be back from the sanatorium. He doesn't really needto take care of him.

Besides, it's not like I'll never cback again. | can cback to visit him often."

After a pause, she continued, "I've wanted to go to Whaldorf City for the longest tbut didn't because there

wasn't anyone to accompany me. Now that | have you, my friend, | must go with you."

Her words movedfor sreason.

In order to help her cout of her melancholic mood, | joked with her, "You're not going because of Jordan, are

you?"

| believed this was one of the reasons. The Fredericks’ company was in Whaldorf City. Jordan was not going to

stay here forever and would return to Whaldorf City sooner or later. A woman like Shannon would definitely not

be able to accept a longdistance relationship.

Shannon gently coughed and said with a slightly crimson face, "It indeed has to do with him, but you're the

biggest reason."

"Oh, stop it.” | continued to tease her, “I nearly believed in you."

"You have to believe in me."

Later, Shannon and | talked about something else and went to bed.

The next morning, | opened my eyes and realized that the room was very dark. | thought the sun had not come

up yet, but after looking out the window for a while, | realized it was a cloudy day today.

Shannon was not awake yet, so | crept out of bed and walked to the window to gaze out.

A cloudy day made for a perfect day to have a lie-in.

| glanced at Shannon who was still asleep and left the room.

Theo's room was next door. | walked to the door and saw that it was ajar. The blanket on the bed was folded

neatly.

Theo was already up but not in the room.

| went downstairs and saw the caretaker serving breakfast in the dining area.

When she saw that | had cdownstairs, she said with a smile, "Good morning, Ms.

Lane. Breakfast is ready. You can have it now."

| nodded and swept my gaze around the room but did not see Theo, so | asked," Have you seen my husband?”

"Mr. Grant left after waking up this morning. He said that there was something urgent that he needed to attend

to, so he was in a hurry to go back to the city. He didn't want to wake you up, so he askedto pass on a

message. He asked you to go hearlier at night so you two can have dinner together."

"Alright, I got it."

The project matters had not been solved yet, so it was normal that he was busy.

After having breakfast, | had nothing to do and went for a walk in the yard.

| saw Mr. Collins shoveling the ground and walked over to greet him. "Good morning, Grandpa Collins."

Mr. Collins put down the shovel and askedwith a smile, "Have you had breakfast?"

| nodded and looked at the ground. “Are you planting flowers here, Grandpa?"

Mr. Collins chuckled. “Not flowers. I'm planting ssweet potatoes. I'll be able to harvest them in winter if |

plant them now."

He looked up to the second floor. "Is Shannon, that brat, still sleeping?"

| smiled slightly. "She slept very late last night, so let's let her sleep a little longer.”

Mr. Collins sighed. "This child's sleep schedule is all messed up. It's a bad habit."

Although he was complaining, his tone was an indulging one.

Shannon and | left Mr. Collins’ place in the

evening.

When we saw Jordan standing at the villa's gate, we were both stunned.

Now, this was rare. What was a busy man doing at hat this hour?

After getting out of the car, Jordan expressed his intention of having a meal with Shannon.

| went halone. Theo said that he wanted to have dinner together when he chat night, so | got

ready to make dinner.

The refrigerator was full of various kinds of ingredients. | could make anything.

| made three dishes and a bowl of soup. Seeing that Theo had not chyet, | gave him a call. &
