Zane shook his head. "Keep me company for a bit while I eat?"

"I just had lunch with Nat."

"You could eat something light."

Clearly, Zane didn't enjoy dining alone.

It was dull.

Bianca couldn't deny him and eventually accompanied Zane to the dining room. The room had French

windows, offering a clear view of everything inside from the outside.

The suffocating confusion enveloped her entirely.

She had always been waiting for Zane, even during the years of marriage to Alto.

But now, she didn't know what this waiting meant anymore.

It started drizzling.

Yvette stood in the wind and rain, unable to return to her senses. Eventually, her consciousness

Zane and Bianca were eating in the dining room when they heard about Yvette collapsing outside.
