When I arrived in Velaridge City, Jim was already waiting for me.
I asked him to take me to the mansion first so I could see Grandma.
When I arrived, I found Aunt Rose and Grace there as well.
They told me Uncle had gone back to handle an urgent matter but would return later, only coming back with them after Alexander's parents' anniversary.
Grandma was especially happy to see me.
She seemed even happier knowing I had gone to New York with Alexander, assuming everything between us had already been resolved.
But I said nothing.
I stayed for a while before returning home with Jim after dinner.
The moment I entered, Maria greeted me.
"Mrs. Blackwood, you're back."
Her gaze instinctively moved behind me.
"Something came up in New York," I said calmly. "Alexander had to stay behind and handle it."
"I see," she replied with a nod.
"You don't need to worry about dinner. I already ate at the mansion."
"Alright, ma'am."
