“Miss Stone.” Upon recognizing Elisa, Mrs. Lane smiled and greeted her. “Mrs. Lane, what brings you here?” Elisa returned the smile, pleased to see her old acquaintance. “The youngest mistress has moved back to her family home, and the young master has arranged for us to take care of her. This includes both me and Jim.” They were familiar faces to the Eldest Young Mistress and Miss Liberty, prompting the Eldest Young Master to arrange for their presence. The young master informed them that they would be working for the Hunt family from now on, continuing to receive their wages from him, with a raise included. The bodyguards surrounding Zachary, as well as the York family servants, were already acquainted with Mrs. Lane and Jim. This familiarity was why Zachary set things up this way. As long as the aunt, mother, and son maintained a stable life, his wife would be content. Elisa smiled and remarked, “That’s typical of your young master. He’s always so considerate of Seren.” In the past, she had viewed Zachary as cold and heartless, having spent years in unrequited love. Despite openly pursuing him for some time, she still failed to capture his attention. She believed he was inherently distant, lacking tenderness, and incapable of caring for others. However, she later came to understand that it wasn’t that Zachary was incapable of kindness; rather, his tenderness was reserved for someone else. Fortunately, the woman he loved was her cousin, which meant this exceptional man had not turned his affections toward outsiders. Mrs. Lane smiled and said, “The Eldest Young Mistress is the apple of the Eldest Young Master’s eye; who wouldn’t protect their own?” With that, she opened the villa door and addressed

Elisa said, “Miss Stone, please drive in.” “I won’t be leaving too soon. I’ll have lunch with Seren later. By the way, will your family’s young master be joining us for lunch? I’m afraid I might be a third wheel.” Mrs. Lane replied, “The eldest young master has been extremely busy lately, and he can only find time in the evening to visit the eldest young mistress.” Zachary was swamped with wedding preparations. Nevertheless, he made it a point to visit Hunt’s house every day. “I thought he would come and stay with her, not leaving until the morning of the wedding,” Elisa remarked, her tone laced with sarcasm. Mrs. Lane smiled, “The eldest young master wished to do that, but the old lady scolded him, and Ms. Liberty wouldn’t allow him to stay. Every night he comes over, there’s a display of reluctance with the young mistress.” Elisa giggled. That was typical Zachary. She got back into the car, drove into Hunt’s house, and parked in the small lot. This villa was purchased by Zachary, and its layout was designed according to his preferences. Liberty didn’t have high expectations for their home, and neither did Sonny. So, after moving in, they simply unpacked their bags without making any changes. “Has Miss Liberty gone out?” Elisa asked. “Yes, she went shopping. Sonny is at kindergarten. The little guy always pouts before leaving, saying he doesn’t want to go and would rather stay home with the young mistress,” Mrs. Lane replied, rolling her eyes with a smile at the mention of Sonny. Elisa walked toward the main house and said, “Sonny is almost as old as I was when I needed to be carried into the car.”
