Chapter 204
By the time the two of them returned to the Jarvis family's house, it was almost dark. Old Wade, who had taken care of them previously, was sweeping fallen leaves in the yard. Seeing them, he showed a kind
Estelle handed over the gifts they had bought on the way back, saying, "We were in a hurry when we came, so we didn't prepare anything properly. Mr. Lamont just bought some gifts, could you please pass the Old Wade took them and nodded kindly. "Thank you!"
Estelle nodded slightly, holding Jonathan's hand as they walked towards the backyard.
After the couple had entered the house, Old Wade's gaze followed their retreating figures before he shifted his attention back to the box of gifts.
