Lenora gave a faint,calm smile and stood up to go upstairs.“No need.Everyone,go rest.”
The butler froze.
The servants looked at each other,whispering among themselves.
“Did she really say to let us rest?”
“Mr.Steele is extremely particular about cleanliness and always gets lost when driving.Haven’t we spent countless times searching the city for him before?”
“And tonight is New Year’s Eve,yet she is letting him be outside alone,not worrying that he might not find his way home.”
“She must be completely heartbroken.”
“Actually,it makes sense.A few days ago,she was in a car accident and hospitalized.The hospital is just across the street from the company,yet Mr.Steele still managed to get lost.But when it comes to Miss Megan,it’s like he has a GPS and always arrives ahead of time.”
Lenora pressed her chest where it ached faintly,feeling as if her heart was being squeezed,struggling to breathe.
The servants were right.Dale really was special to Megan.
Lenora had been married to Dale for three years.But at every important moment in Lenora’s life,Dale would get lost and fail to show up.
At their wedding,he missed the lucky hour and left her waiting alone at the ceremony.
