Chapter 63: Aleshia Reunites With Ella (1/2)
”What?”
Lawrend looked at Albert in shock. Just what happened to his father that he's this distrustful of maids? It genuinely made him want to find his father and ask him.
”It's true, Young Master.”
Another butler agreed with Albert's words.
”Whatever. I'll talk with my father after he returns. Starting from now on, I want you to trust Aleshia. I won't forgive anyone who does otherwise.”
Lawrend ordered and eyed the butlers one by one.
”Yes, Young Master.”
They all echoed.
The butlers could only nod their heads and follow his order. Though, they could sense that something was different about Lawrend. It was like he became more confident with himself.
”Where's Ella?”
Lawrend suddenly asked.
”Ella is sleeping in her room.”
Albert replied to Lawrend.
”Lead me there.”
Lawrend ordered him.
”Follow me, Young Master.”
Albert bowed respectfully before leading the way. Lawrend, Aleshia, and Olgar followed him. The butlers scattered after Lawrend left. They went back to what they were doing prior.
”This is..?”
Lawrend realized where they were going.
”Yes, Young Master. Ella demanded that she sleeps in her Elder Sister's room.”
Albert explained to him. Right now, the path they are taking leads to the living quarters of the butlers and the guards, and also where Aleshia's room was.
Lawrend looked towards Aleshia after hearing that.
”What, Young Master?”
Aleshia asked as she was taken aback by the look he was giving her.
”Ella is such a nice girl, huh.”
Lawrend said to her with a teasing smile.
”Yes, I raised her rather well.”
Aleshia nodded her head and smiled back.
”You're even a reliable big sister. Color me impressed.”
Lawrend replied to her with amazement evident on his face. He really hit the jackpot by meeting her and having her as his maid.
Albert, who was leading the way, glanced towards them as he furrowed his eyebrows. It became obvious to him that their relationship is different from before.
A few turns later, they arrived at the guard and butler's living quarters.
”Here.”
Albert stopped in front of Aleshia's old room and moved to the side. Lawrend also stopped, and he motioned for Aleshia to open the door herself.
Aleshia gave him a curt nod and approached the door. She understood what Lawrend was trying to tell her. Basically, he was giving her the chance to have her reunion with her little sister.
She grabbed the door handle and opened it slowly. She looked through the gap and saw Ella writing on a desk as she swung her legs back and forth.
”Ella?”
Aleshia called her name as Ella still hadn't noticed she was behind her.
”Hm?”
Ella swiftly turned her head towards Aleshia's direction. Her eyes glowed brightly, and she immediately dropped whatever she was doing and ran towards Aleshia.
”Big Sister!”
Ella shouted with joy.
