The next day, it was still raining. The rain today was much lighter; it was just a drizzle.
The temperature in Wiltspoon has dropped to the lowest level this year, only seven degrees. On this
cold winter morning, the business welcomed several unfamiliar customers.
The moment the doorbell rang, the butler couldnât help but mutter, âWhoâs here so early in the
morning?â
The workers havenât started working yet. Because of the cold weather and rainy days, the workers in
charge of yard work changed their start time to around eight oâclock.
It rained heavily yesterday, so the butler let them rest for a day.
The butler thought it was Remy Johnson, the future son-in-law from next door.
He often came before dawn just to have breakfast with Elisa.
The butler, holding an umbrella, walked to the villaâs gate and saw five old men standing in a row. With
the exception of one individual who appeared to be a patient and had a fair complexion, the other four
men exuded an air of immortality. The butler was shocked, believing he had not woken up yet and had
seen ghosts.
They primarily wore retro clothes.
The five old men were all men, and each of them had a long gray beard.
The butler rubbed his eyes.
âDoes this kid think we are ghosts?â An old man said, âFrom the look on his face, he either thought he
had seen a ghost, or he thought he had gotten up the wrong way.â
butler:ââ¦â
Wrong way to wake up?
What were the ways to wake up?
Didnât he just wake up, open his eyes, and get up?
âBoy, we are not ghosts. If we were ghosts, we wouldnât ring the doorbell and would have passed
through the wall long ago. Actually, your door canât stop us. If I want to, I can take down your door in a
minute. But my buddies wonât let me do it, saying itâs impolite.
I came all the way here, traveling day and night, just to bring this old guy here. Iâm starving, and I canât
even go into the house. Itâs freezing outside. Why do I feel like itâs even colder here than it is here when
it snows?â
The butler finally regained his consciousness. He complained in his heart: You people in the north have
heating, but we in Wiltspoon donât have it. We have to rely on our righteousness to survive the winter.
However, Wiltspoon City did not need heating.
Despite the extreme cold, it would only persist for the next two days. The temperature would rise again
the day after tomorrow, and by the New Year, it wouldnât be that cold.
âHow many elderly men are there?â
Given that they all had gray beards, even though the butler was no longer young, he likely appeared
like a child in their presence.
âWe are looking for Miss Audrey Farrell (Fisher).â
Butler: âMiss Audrey Farrell⦠âOh, youâre looking for our madam.â
The butler almost forgot that his madamâs surname was Farrell and her given name was Audrey.
He simply couldnât adjust to hearing others refer to Audrey, who was already a grandmother, as a âlittle
girl.â
âExcuse me, who are you?â
If they were looking for Audrey, the butler should ask more clearly.
No matter whether they were looking for Audrey or Clive, if they were people he had never seen
before, he must ask clearly and canât let them in casually.
âAhemââ An old man coughed twice.
