Chapter 80 Head Over to My Study
Frederick silently stared back at Madam Vanderbilt.
What did he even do?
He felt like every time they talked about someone dating or getting married in the family, it would be a disaster for him.
Sean used to be his comrade in this battle who could help keep some of the attention off him. Now, it seemed like even Sean had a woman he liked. It meant Frederick would most likely be facing these battles alone now.
By the end of the meal, Madam Vanderbilt was overjoyed while Master Vanderbil despite his silence and the emotionless look on his face, was ecstatic as well based on the tilt of his lips.
“We need to talk, Fred.”
Frederick was about to head back to his room when Sean called out to him. He turned around and nodded in response. “Let’s head over to my study.”
The portrait of Winona was hanging in Frederick’s study.
Most people were forbidden from entering Frederick’s study. Master and Madam Vanderbilt were the only ones allowed to enter once in a while.
Inside the room decorated with hardwood furniture hung the portrait of a beautiful woman with her hair dancing in the wind as her wide, soulful eyes stared at the viewer. Despite how aloof she looked, there were a pair of dimples on her cheeks that gave her a rather playful air.
Sean had never taken a close look at the painting before, but now that he
Sean had never taken a close look at the painting before, but now that he stood in front of it, the woman in the painting looked so very familiar to him.
Claire’s eyes looked exactly like Winona’s. Belle likely inherited her dimples from Winona as well.
Frederick frowned at him. “You never looked at the painting before because you thought she had brought harm to this family. Why are you looking at it now?”
Sean did not turn around and continued to stare at the painting as he solemnly said, “I have news of Winona, Fred.”
Frederick’s heart skipped a beat. He even forgot to breathe. It was a few
minutes later before his heart returned to its usual even pace.
He had assumed he would never hear Winona’s name ever again or know wha happened to her.
He hurriedly walked over to Sean and impatiently asked, “Where is she now? Is she doing well?”
Sean finally turned away from the painting and looked at Frederick as he calmly replied, “She’s dead.”
W–What?
Frederick’s eyes widened as his jaw dropped. He looked like he wanted to speak but could not muster a single word.
After 24 years, he finally received news of her, yet it turned out to be news

speak but could not muster a single word.
After 24 years, he finally received news of her, yet it turned out to be news of her death.
While he was not destined to be with her, the news still dealt a heavy blow to him.
His legs wobbled. It took a lot of effort for Frederick to walk over to a nearby chair and collapse onto the mahogany chair.
There was a lost look in his usually clear eyes. A few long minutes passed before he eventually found his voice again. However, his voice was extremely hoarse as he asked, “Was she in… Silverton?”
“Yes.”
Sean sat down in the mahogany chair across from Frederick. He knew that to
Frederick, no news was good news, but he had to tell Frederick the cruel
truth.
This dream had lasted for 24 years. It was time for him to snap out of it.
“She went to Silverton and changed her name. Neither you nor the Summers could find her. Soon after she arrived at Silverton, she married a man and gave birth to a daughter 6 months after the wedding. She passed away 18 months later.”
In the end, it had been 21 years since Winona passed away.
Frederick had always held the hope that he might see her again one day.
“Heh.” Frederick abruptly burst out laughing, his eyes wet with tears as he tightly gripped the arms of his chair. “It’s good to finally bring an end to

After nodding to Frederick, Sean walked out of the room.
