Chapter 462

“It’s likely Grandma’s orders. Your behavior earlier raised her suspicions, so she sent Martha to keep an eye on us. Let’s continue ahead and avoid looking back to prevent arousing any suspicion.”

Mia obediently followed Timothy as they strolled together. “Can we please have fewer people following us? I’m not used to it,” she whispered.
