The picnic game lasted until the evening.
The young girls dined at the manor and happened to meet Dora's second brother.
He was a gentle man, already married, and his wife was frail, recuperating at the manor. With nothing urgent in the military, he took leave to return and care for his beloved wife.
"I apologize, lovely ladies. My wife has a poor appetite and cannot personally entertain you." As he spoke, his gaze brushed over Vivian's face, pausing for half a second, "Please feel free; if you need anything or face difficulties, don't hesitate to come to me."
Of course, this was just small talk.
The manor had a housekeeper, so there was no need to bother the male owner.
As Dora's brother, he was good at reading the room. After speaking, he left to dine with Rocky in the next room, leaving the young girls to play as they pleased.
Roy twirled the silver spoon, stirring the cream in her cup.
