Since Zoe Bell and William Hale arrived in the capital so late, it was already past ten at night by the time they finished dinner. The old lady was feeling sleepy, but Old Sir Hale, for some reason, was in the mood to go out and appreciate the moon.
There are no tall buildings around the Old House of Hale Family, providing an unobstructed view.
The stars are vast and the moonlight is soft and mellow.
However, with the autumn air being crisp and cool, Zoe, dressed too lightly, felt cold and returned to her room after standing in the courtyard for more than ten minutes.
William, on the other hand, was pulled aside by the old man for a chat.
"What's the situation with the orphanage in Greenland?" Old Sir Hale wasn't fully informed. "Is the director embezzling funds?"
William briefly explained the situation to him, and the old man too was filled with righteous indignation.
"That poor girl must be suffering."
"That's why, if you can, don't scare her."
