Xi Hua led him down the stairs, while Miss Lovette remained in her room, sitting with her bloated stomach. She just smiled and winked at him.
Harker could only focus on Xi Hua anyway. Even without her intoxicating scent, he was drawn to her simply by the way she moved and spoke. That unexplainable charm that just made her so…. lovable. Much more lovable than her mother.
