As Lu Heng had said, my uncleâs people knew about our movement. As soon as we got off the boat, we were taken to my uncleâs villa.
Most of the butlers and servants were Chinese, and they were very respectful to us. This made Banxia and I finally feel at ease.
The butler, Vincent, and the housekeeper, Daisy, looked at me with tears in their eyes. They were both in their fifties.
Daisy came forward and gave me a gentle hug. âMy Poor Miss.â
I thought she was referring to my uncleâs death. I reached out and hugged her back. But I felt guilty for not feeling more sadness.
When we arrived at the central hall, I was lost in thought as I looked at the European decor.
Why did I feel like I had been here before?
Vincent stood by the side.
Daisyâs eyes were red as she said, âI didnât expect you to grow up to be so similar to Madam. Looking at you, it feels like time has turned back.â
My heart moved. âAre you talking about my mother?â
Daisy nodded. âYes, you looked more like Sir when you were young. But now, you are exactly like Madam.â
âSir? Do you mean my uncle or my father?â I asked her.
Daisy was a little stunned. âOf course, Iâm talking about Mr. Nan! You looked just like him when you were young. Madam often joked that she would have another child, one that looked more like her.â As Daisy said that, she laughed. âBack then, you were angry because you didnât want Madam to have another child to take away her attention!â
When I heard this memory that I had absolutely no recollection of, I was extremely shocked.
Sensing my discomfort, Vincent stopped Daisy from continuing. âHow many years ago was it? At that time, Miss was only three or four years old. How can she still remember it now?â
Daisy smiled and nodded. âYouâre right. Madam said this place was going to be Missâ honeymoon destination. In the blink of an eye, Miss grew into a beautiful woman already. Itâs a pity that Sir and Madam wonât be here to see it.â
Her expression dimmed.
Vincent said, âMiss, please, donât mind us. Weâre old. Daisy especially likes to reminisce about the past. She likes to ramble...â
I stopped them. âUncle Vincent, Auntie Daisy, this house belonged to my parents?â
My heart pounded violently for no reason.
They were flustered by my way of address. Daisy quickly nodded. âThatâs right! Miss!â
âThis... isnât my uncleâs residence?â I confirmed with them again.
Daisy looked at Vincent hesitantly. She didnât seem to understand why I was asking this.
Vincent was calm. âMiss, Mr. Nanzheng and Ms. Tong Huan bought this property for their daughter Nanxing as her 23rd birthday present. We informed Mr. Tong Hui right after Missâ birthday to have him get you over to see the house. You can use this place for your honeymoon...â
I fell onto the sofa.
âMiss...â Daisy and Banxia quickly came over. I stopped them from touching me.
I smiled.?So thatâs how it is! This place isnât my uncleâs property at all, but mine! The inheritance my parents left me!
I looked at Lu Heng.
There was a residual shock in Lu Hengâs eyes.
âDid you know about this?â I asked Lu Heng.
Lu Heng took a step forward and bowed. âMiss, I donât.â He knelt down on one knee. âSea Wolves is willing to follow Miss forever!â
I looked at him. He didnât move. I didnât move.
The people looked at us in confusion.
