Elspeth wasn't bothered by the episode that happened just now. Subsequently, she followed Frank to Michael's backyard.
Contrary to her expectation, Michael's backyard was not as magnificent as she imagined. In fact, it was fairly simple.
This was also the first time she had visited this place, but she had a feeling of déjà vu.
Right! Helena's house seemed to have similar furnishing.
After taking a few more steps into the yard, she noticed how luscious the trees that almost blocked the path they were walking on were.

Elspeth nodded. Maybe this was another rule set by Michael.

"I said I don't want to see anyone today! Get out!"
