When the carriage stopped, Belle was still stuck at the thought of how she was able to see her mother as a whole person again. The mansion looked the same. The flowers, the plants, the gates having the same colour. Her eyes continued to look around and she followed her mother. A servant came by to take their coats.
Stepping inside further, she saw the maids she was familiar with, bowing their heads as they walked past them.
"I need your help in rearranging the items we bought from the Valley," said her mother and Belle agreed to it in a heartbeat. To be able to live with her mother and stay around her, she considered it to be nothing less to a fortune, "Mrs. Edmond has placed a tea party in her mansion. She was asking for you while mentioned about her son," said her mother with her back facing Belle, as her mother was storing the items in the cupboard.
