Chapter 108: Can I sleep here?
At Wright Manor, Kingdom of Ebodia
Atlas had brought Ezme home to their family manor located on the east side of Ebodia, where Atlas’s father, George, was the Duke, as his sister, Dani, would have a wedding ceremony there the following day.
Ezme was eagerly anticipating meeting Atlas’s parents. Wanting to make a good impression, she ensured to bring along plenty of gifts, which she had already arranged for his men to deliver in advance.
Her smile radiated as she walked with Atlas towards the door. Upon entering, his parents warmly welcomed her. "It’s a pleasure to meet you all," she greeted them warmly.
"The pleasure is ours, Your Highness," Atlas’s mother, Donna, replied. "I am Atlas’s mother, Donna, and this is my husband, George. We’re thrilled to finally meet you in person, and we’re also grateful for the gifts you sent earlier, although we believe it’s a bit too much for us to accept."
"Oh, please, it’s really nothing. I would love to give more, so please don’t be burdened by it since they are just tokens of my gratitude for accepting me into the family. I hope you like them all," she said with her sweetest smile.
"We are truly grateful. I’m sure you two are tired from the travel," Atlas’s mother hummed. She turned to Ezme and added, "Let me escort you to your room."
Ezme nodded gratefully and allowed the older woman to guide her to her assigned chamber. "I’m sure you’re a bit surprised," Ezme couldn’t help but remark.
"We’re not really. Atlas already gave us some heads up beforehand, but I won’t hide the fact that we’re truly surprised he agreed to the marriage of inconvenience," Donna remarked. "But as long as our son is happy, then we’re here to support him, just as we’ll be supporting Dani as well."
