Chapter 225: We Built a New Mansion (1)
"He's too much. Really."
Sieri was flipping through the documents with a sullen expression. She was uncharacteristically annoyed. Eve knew the reason she was angry. It was because Lucius had been dragged away by Erina the moment he returned from the Eastern Plains. Eve spoke.
"I said I'm sorry. That bitch was spouting bullshit about having to go quickly, so it couldn't be helped. I didn't know my husband would return that day either."
"Still, the church and the mansion aren't that far apart. He could have waited just a little bit......"
"Ah...... What should I do? I mean, I just didn't think of it. Okay?"
Sieri had heard the inside story in her own way, so she didn't get openly angry, but she still couldn't hide her displeased expression. Eve had no experience in soothing someone who was angry like this, so she was at a bit of a loss. Originally, with her personality, if someone got annoyed at her, she would either compensate them with money or just kill them. But Sieri was a person who didn't fall into either of those two categories.
"Ms. Eve probably didn't have bad intentions when she didn't call for Ms. Sieri."
Eve's lifesaver was Aira. Aira took the documents with a smiling face and organized them in order. Sieri nodded her head at Aira's words but still looked displeased. Accepting it with her head and accepting it with her heart required a different level of understanding. The words 'It could happen' lingered inside her head, but a feeling of disappointment was surging in her heart. When Sieri's expression still showed no sign of softening, Eve spoke.
"You said you went to the same school as my husband, right?"
