Keira followed Mrs. Gill into the Cobb residence, filled with curiosity.

The staff here was minimal, and as they walked through the expansive estate, she noticed only a couple of employees tending to the place.

Mrs. Gill, noticing Erin's wandering gaze, explained, "The Cobbs prefer a low-key lifestyle. We've all been raised to take care of ourselves—no reliance on housekeepers."

The Cobbs' way of living was refreshingly understated.

Erin rolled her eyes, "Rich and yet not enjoying life. I don't get what the Cobbs are thinking."

Mrs. Gill shot her a look, smiling lightly. "The Cobbs value freedom over luxury. They don't let money dictate their lives."

Because they desired so little and had no greed, they wouldn't sell their souls for money.

Keira found herself envying that outlook.

She had never yearned for wealth or status—her only desire was to live freely with her mother without the constraints of the South family.

How nice it would be to have a life like the Cobbs.

She envied the Cobbs a little.

Mrs. Gill continued, "Before I married into the Gills, I had the most freedom. My parents never restricted my choices. Even when I fell for Sam Olsen, they didn't interfere. The Cobbs aren't even that into controlling the Gills.
