After one night of sailing, the yacht returned to the port of the capital of A Country in the early morning of the following day.
As soon as the boat docked, the duchess hastily disembarked.
Ivana Bennett and Lucas Walker stepped onto the dock, watching her motorcade drive further and further away, Ivana let out a quiet sigh in her heart.
The duchess was just as stubborn as Lucas Walker, it seemed that her efforts to persuade her had been in vain.
"Let's go!"
Lucas Walker took her arm and helped her into the car.
Back at the Duke's residence, not only the servants were waiting for them, even the little snowball, which had been laying on a sculpture next to the steps, immediately ran over and jumped into Ivana's arms as soon as it saw them return.
Ivana gently stroked the little snowball in her arms, flashing the watching crowd a grateful smile.
"Happy New Year to all of you!"
The assistant came down from the steps, "Miss, there are guests waiting for you."
