Chapter 91

After dinner, Alfred returned to his room to rest.

Roxanne followed him to give him one final checkup before heading downstairs to bid her goodbye.

“It’s so late now. Let me give you a lift home;” Jonathan piped up.

“No, it’s fine,” Roxanne replied with a smile. “You still have guests to entertain.”

Jonathan knew she was right and decided not to insist further. “In that case, please be careful on your way home. Oh, by the way, I hope you won’t take my grandfather’s words to heart. At his age, he tends to worry about things like that.”

Roxanne merely smiled and turned to leave.

Aubree, who had become very wary, decided to follow suit. “Oh, I’m also thinking about leaving. Let’s go together, then.”“No. It’s not like we’re taking the same routes. I’ll be going now,” Lucian answered indifferently, striding off before Aubree could say anything else.
