"Oh, Scarlet, dear! Are you back already? Why are you standing outside? Come in and talk with mommy!"
Hearing the voice of her mother calling out for her, Scarlet immediately froze up, and her body shivered. Her face turned pale, and sweat formed on her forehead.
The tension in the air grew heavier as she slowly turned toward the entrance and shouted back, "Mommy! Y-yes, I'm back!"
She then took a deep breath to calm herself down and gathered the courage to walk in, with Asher and Cecil following behind her.
Ahead of them stood a majestic building, surrounded by beautiful flower gardens and well-trimmed bushes.
In the middle of the garden was a huge fountain made of white marble, with water flowing out from the mouths of fish sculptures.
The whole scenery looked very tranquil and serene.
As they approached the main door, it opened on its own, allowing them to enter the mansion with ease.
