Chapter 81
The moment I arrived at the mansion, Jane came running barefoot to greet me.
According to her, most of the people had only suffered minor injuries, so she and Ian were able to enjoy the festival soon after... But who could tell if that was the truth or not?
Still, since she said so, I decided to just believe it and let it go. Questioning whether it was a lie wouldn’t change the past anyway.
Sometimes, the best thing to do is simply play along with what the other person wants.
I took the fountain Aiden had carried in and placed it on the floor before asking,
"And the family?"
"They haven’t returned yet."
It seemed they still weren’t back.
I swept my gaze over the empty house. The silence, bordering on eerie, made me check the time.
It was night.
They hadn’t returned even though it was already so late. They must have stayed out even longer than they had yesterday.
"They must be exhausted. Go get some rest."
