“How’s my mother doing?” Ivan hadn’t called his mother for several days.
“Madam Aubree has just got home. She’s having lunch now.” The butler was joyful to hear from him as Aubree always missed Ivan.
“Mr. Marsh, shall I put her on the phone?” he asked expectantly.
“Not necessary,” Ivan refused. “Please tell her Jennifer and I will go back for dinner later.”
The butler was overjoyed. “Sure. I will inform Madam Aubree.”
He strode into the dining room. “Madam Aubree, Mr. and Mrs. Marsh will come for dinner tonight. Mr. Marsh has just called.”
His words surprised Aubree. She was in a trance and couldn’t return to her senses.
The butler bent over slightly to gaze at her, wondering how she felt.
“OK. I see.” Aubree withdrew her gaze, looking calm. However, she cheered inwardly.
Ivan would come to see her. Her villa was also quiet. After Pippa left, it became more silent.
Aubree took a bite of her food and said to the butler, “Show me the dinner recipes.”
“I will, Madam Aubree.” The butler could tell she was excited to hear the news, wondering why she didn’t show it on her face.
Besides, he mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Marsh just now, and Aubree didn’t ask him to address Jennifer as Ms. Brooks.
While reading the recipes, Aubree carefully picked up the dishes to be prepared while reading the recipes, and the butler recorded her requirements.
The food for lunch gradually became cold.
Shortly after, a black SUV was parked in the yard.
“Is it Andrew’s car?” Aubree peered out of the window, wondering why Andrew had come over.
The butler followed her gaze and answered affirmatively, “Yes, it’s Andrew.”
The door of the driver’s seat opened. Andrew got off and opened the rear doors. Two adorable children hopped off.
They carried two colorful suitcases, trotting toward the living room. Their looks reminded Aubree of Ivan.
“Alfie and Diana!” the butler called in surprise.
