Chapter 109 My Ex Wife Is A Klutz.
Stepping into the four walls of the Bryce mansion for the first time in five years, felt foreign to Leonica. Her eyes wandered the familiar interior while she looked around like a child who had been lost in a wave of busy Monday adults.
Everything was the same even after five years, she noted, walking further into the house as Ashley pulled her by the hand.
“Mr. Bryce, welcome home.” The butler, who she quickly recognized as Will, the very same butler whom Lila had transferred from underneath her to look after she and Gabriel during their first year of marriage, greeted with a polite bow. His eyes was quick to widen the moment they landed on her. “Madam,” he uttered with a breathy tone of disbelief.
Leonica could only force a smile under his disbelieving gaze, however, it soon turned genuine as memories, find ones at that, flashed in the back of her mind.
“Glad to see you’re doing well, Will.” She said, tipping her head in a small bow to acknowledge his presence.
“You too, Madam.” The butler responded, missing the way Leonica shifted as he had addressed her by her old title, as he turned to face the small of the trio. “Oh, and you must be young master Ashley,” his words came off as a sentence rather than the question it was meant to be. “pleasure to meet you.”
Ashley giggled cutely as the butler bowed curtly at him, but none the less, his greeting was returned. “Hello Mr. Butler.”
Smiling at the child’s way of speaking, Will turned to face his employer, about to question how he was feeling after waking up from a three weeks long sleep coma, when he noticed something felt different.
Was it his gaze? He thought, briefly trying to wrap his head around what seemed so different in his employer. Or perhaps was it his aura?
Definitely! That definitely was it, because the once threatening and serious aura that had surrounded Gabriel had visibly reduced, making him seem the most approachable Will has ever seen since he had started working in the Bryce mansion.
Gabriel who noticed his staring, didn’t hesitate to question. “Is everything alright?”
