Chapter: 689

Astelle recalled Count Ecklen, whom she had met a few times before.

He was very kind and courteous to her.

‘It was because he liked my mother.’

Until then, she thought she would be able to make friends without much thought.

Hearing this, Astelle herself began to think about how to deal with him.

‘Did my father know about his relationship with my mother?’

He seemed to react a little sensitively when he heard the name of Count Ecklen.

As she was thinking about it, the Marquis murmured.

“It’s raining.”

As she turned around, raindrops started hitting the window pane.

Astelle looked at the clock and got up.

Kaizen and Theor must be waiting in the bedroom.

“It is too late. I have to go back to the bedroom.”

Astelle ended the conversation with her maternal grandfather and returned to the bedroom.

As she was passing the hallway, the rain suddenly began to pour heavily.

The rain that fell like a waterfall drenched the garden.

“Why is it raining all of a sudden……”

The servants were seen running out to the flower bed through the rain where they couldn’t see an inch ahead.

The servants covered the garden with tarpaulin to protect the flowers.

Some people had umbrellas, but even the umbrellas were broken by the strong wind.

It must be hard.

‘Next year, I will have to tell them not to plant flowers that are weak in the rain.’

With that thought in mind, she entered the bedroom.

But there was no one in the bedroom with the lights on.
