It was late at night, and lady Caitlyn's Manor had quieted down a long time ago. The servants and farmers in the manor had already fallen asleep. It was silent and dark inside and outside the manor. Because of the cold weather outside, even the sound of insects could not be heard. Even the hunting dogs guarding the manor were curled up in their nests.
Xia Pingan had personally cooked dinner for them. He had prepared a table full of Chinese delicacies for Mrs. Caitlin and Helena to eat.
After the meal, both Mrs. Caitlyn and Helena took off their shoes and pulled Xia Pingan to dance, laugh, and drink in front of the burning fireplace barefooted. When the two of them were tipsy and sleepy, Xia Pingan sent them to their respective rooms to rest. Xia Pingan returned to his room and lay down quietly on his bed with his clothes on.
