"Um, excuse me," Ashley Bowen asked, stopping a passing maid. "Do you happen to know who's inside?"
The maid shook her head. "He's probably a friend of the Third Highness. Howard came here a few years ago to use the hot springs with the Third Highness."
'Two men, in a hot spring...'
Ashley Bowen bit her lower lip, her brows furrowed in thought. It wasn't that her mind was in the gutter, but all signs pointed to an unusual relationship between this Howard and Yuri Sinclair.
After the maid left, she quickly hopped off the swing and tiptoed toward the room the two men had just entered.
Besides, Howard had made it perfectly clear earlier that he wouldn't mind if she peeked.
Ashley deliberately lightened her steps and went to the door to eavesdrop.
To her surprise, the door wasn't fully closed, leaving a small crack. Through the gap, she could see Yuri Sinclair sitting down and Howard crouching beside him.
