The next day, Evelyn Crawford and Jasper Bollock returned to Brocade City.
Evelyn had stayed up late chatting with Mrs. Smith last night and was so exhausted today that she fell asleep as soon as she got in the car.
She didn't know how much time had passed until she heard Jasper's pleasant voice near her ear.
"Olivia, wake up, we're home."
Evelyn opened her groggy eyes, "So soon?"
Jasper chuckled, "Let's get out of the car."
Rubbing her eyes as she got out, Evelyn suddenly heard a loud, ear-splitting chorus ringing in her ears.
"Welcome home, Young Master and Miss Smith."
Startled, Evelyn's eyes snapped wide open, only to see all the soldiers and servants of the Bollock Family lined up outside.
This... this grand welcome.
Evelyn was somewhat flabbergasted.
"Miss Smith, after you," Jasper gestured invitingly toward Evelyn with his hand.
Seeing the teasing smile in his eyes, Evelyn realized that they were there to welcome her.
