“Lottie?”

“Sorry, Cel. I have to leave town tomorrow for something, so I won’t be able to go with you to pick out a birthday gift for your grandma.”

“It’s fine. I’ve already bought something.”

She had never been to this antique shop before. And she originally came just to try her luck, thinking that if she didn’t find anything suitable, she could continue shopping with Lottie the next day.

She didn’t expect to find the perfect gift.

Lottie was pleasantly surprised. “Really? That’s great!”

Celeste smiled. “Mm.”

“It turns out they really are planning to settle in Baumond. Apparently, they’ve been house–hunting these past few days.”

Hearing the mention of the Locket family, Celeste’s smile faded slightly. “Alright, I got it.”

“As for Wynn’s mother’s side of the family, I heard they’ve already picked out a house. They’ll be moving in soon. Supposedly, they’ve even started sending out invitations for a housewarming banquet.”

“Alright, I got it.”
