Chapter 166: Sending a message (1)
Selene gazed out the carriage window, lost in thought as she was trying to recount everything from her past to find clues about her parents.
What had she missed in the past? Were there signs that her parents were no ordinary purebloods?
Selene even tried to think of her grandfather’s visits but it was so long ago that she couldn’t find any answers.
Selene was momentarily distracted by men hard at work around the home. She faced Xavier who had to be the one behind this. "When did this start?" She asked.
"Right after it was back in your hands. The men I left behind continued to rid the home of what belonged to your aunt and cousin. Paige’s things have all been collected. It was meant to be a surprise to show you the result the next time we visited," said Xavier.
It was ruined by the surprising events.
Xavier wanted the home changed around by the time Selene found someone to look after it in her place. It was far from finished.
Selene looked again at the many workers on the outside, changing around the garden and those going inside the home. There were many changes she noticed which were quite similar to how the home was when she lived here.
"How did you know all these little details? Even my memory of it isn’t the best," Selene said, surprised he was able to find the very flowers her mother adored.
"I searched for an old servant who was more than willing to return now that your aunt is gone. Once the home is back in order, servants are willing to come back here. Most of them were fired by your aunt or cousin for being loyal to your mother," said Xavier.
It came as a surprise to Xavier to see how many accepted returning for work. They could have ignored him and stayed away from the Harrisons because of what was said around the town but they eagerly accepted returning based on what was told to Xavier.
