Adeline and Theodore arrived in Adeline's workroom. By the time they returned back, it was already evening. Thankfully, it wasn't so dark and it wasn't time for the maids to come knocking at the door to light up the candles in her room.
Adeline was feeling a little sad for having to come back so quickly from Aberdeen. And she was sad that she didn't even get to take some gifts with her for the twins or her brother and sister-in-law because she didn't want to leave any traces of her visit to Aberdeen.
Theodore, who was noticing her sad eyes, gently caressed her cheeks and whispered with a whimsical smirk on his lips, "You know, I was thinking about what Rhea had said about me."
Adeline looked into his playful eyes and asked with a reciprocating smile, "And what is that?"
