The Presgrave staff assigned to send the wedding invitation to the Aguirres had to hand- deliver it to Connor before he could leave, and it sure as hell was an adventure for him, for he had to ask for directions several times before he was finally certain which was the Aguirres’ address.
After climbing five levels of stairs, he cross- checked the address while heaving before knocking on Connor’s door, and the person to answer the door was none other than Connor himself. “Can I help you?”
“Hi, are you Mr. Connor Aguirre? I’ve been assigned to deliver invitations for the Presgrave Family. Please accept your invitation.” “The Presgrave Family’s invitation?”
Connor exclaimed with excitement as he accepted the invitation. “Yes. It’s the wedding invitation of Young Master Presgrave and Miss Reiss. We look forward to seeing you there. I’ll be off now.”
After seeing the staff away, Connor sat excitedly on the couch and looked through the invitation. As he read the name, a pang of guilt hit him, for he never thought Ellen was still willing to invite him to her wedding even though he had done so many terrible things to her.
Just then, Olivia returned home, and she instantly questioned upsettingly when she saw her husband looking at a wedding invitation on the couch, “Who’s getting married this time? Don’t tell me it’s another family asking for wedding gifts!”
“This… This is Ellie’s, Connor revealed, shocking Olivia. She snatched the invitation from him and huffed while looking at the name. “To think that wretched girl is lucky enough to actually marry into the Presgrave Family.”
Suddenly, she stared at Connor and asked, “Say, Connor, do you think Ellen invited you or all three of us?”
