q“Yes, Uncle Donald.” Eva nodded.
“Let's go in.” The man brought her into the hall.
Francesca glanced back. She could tell the man was up to no good, and it was obvious that the woman was gunning for Danrique. That's actually good. If someone's bothering him, then he won't have time to bother me. This way, he'll probably let me leave soon.
As she was still mulling it over, Norah greeted Danrique. “Mr. Lindberg!”
“Let's rest upstairs first,” Danrique informed softly. “We'll come back down when it's time for dinner.”
“You have guests to attend to. I won't disturb you any further.” Francesca had no intention of getting involved in his messy business.
“You'll need to meet them sooner or later,” he uttered with a serious expression. “No need to be afraid. I'm here.”
She was dumbfounded. What does he mean by that?
“I'll help you upstairs, Ms. Cece.” Norah approached and held onto her.
That caused Francesca to snap out of her thoughts and stop thinking about what he said.
When she returned to her room, Francesca lay down on the couch lazily again.
Norah served her a cup of hot beverage. Francesca took a sip before going to sleep.
After Norah covered her with a blanket, she informed the maids to take care of her before leaving quietly.
Sean guided Donald and Eva to the study room downstairs. “Mr. Lindberg is currently changing. He'll join you two soon. For now, please wait in the study room.”
“All right.” Donald looked around the building and sighed. “It really is completely different from how it looked eleven years ago. Everything's changed.”
“The castle underwent a renovation. Naturally, it'll look different,” Sean explained. “After all, the current owner of the castle is Mr. Lindberg!”
“That's true.” Donald nodded with a smile. “Danrique is an accomplished young man. He'll surpass the older generation.”
“Please head inside, Mr. Donald.” Sean led the two guests into the study room.
Norah entered the room with maids to serve coffee and red wine.
“Can I take a look around here?” Eva asked politely.
“Of course.” Sean made a gesture before a maid immediately showed Eva around the room.
Even though it was called a study room, it was actually more like a library. The round high-rise design exuded a mysterious and quaint Epean aura.
