“As long as you do as I say, it’ll work,” Mary reassured confidently.

Half an hourter, Penelope went to the main house of the mansion.
There were a few houses at the Count’s Mansion. Mary and her daughter lived in one of the houses on
the side.
On the other hand, the count and his wife lived in the main house. The main house was a grand
mansion. Clearly, the count was a rich and influential figure in Maredania.
Bianca was ying chess with Matilda, who had been serving her for many years. Bianca did not have
many hobbies, except for ying chess.
The maids who served her all knew a little about chess. Thus, they would apany her for a few
rounds when they had nothing to do.
“Ms. Berry’s here.”
When Matilda raised her head, she saw a maid leading Penelope into the living room. Immediately, she
spoke to inform Bianca, who was focused on the game, about the visitor.
Bianca slowly looked away from the board to Penelope. When she saw the red dress Penelope was
wearing, she furrowed her brows a little.
However, a gentle smile soon appeared on her face. “Penelope, you’vee.”
“Granny.” Penelope smiled sweetly before handing a pretty gift box to Bianca. “These are the new,
fresh, and high-quality tea leaves from H Nation. Please give them a try.”
“That’s nice of you, Penelope.” Bianca smiled. “Come and y a game with me.”
Penelope’s smile froze as guilt shed past her eyes. She had no idea how to y chess at all.
As Bianca liked ying chess, Penelope had been learning it recently. Nevertheless, she had no talent
in it at all. Every time she looked at the chess pieces, she could feel a headache forming.
However, she dared not reject Bianca. Thus, she had no choice but to steel herself and sit down.
Furthermore… she needed to ask a favor from Bianca.
After a few moves, Bianca’s brows drew together even tighter.
What in the world is this? Not even the gardener, who ys the chess terribly, is as bad as her.
Immediately, she lost interest in continuing with the game. I heard that she’s been learning how to y
chess, but what is she even doing?
Anger was starting to umte in Bianca’s chest. “Forget it. Let’s not y chess today. Penelope,
why have youe to me today?”
Hearing that, Penelope quickly said, “Granny, I miss Uncle Ryan. It’s been a few days since he left, and
the house already feels so quiet.”
“The age gap between your uncle and your mother is rather big. Back when I gave birth to your uncle, I
was already of advanced maternal age. Well… You’re around your uncle’s age. Naturally, you’d be
closer to him.”
At that, Bianca smiled. All the upsetting feelings she felt earlier was gone.
Ryan was thirty years old, and he was one of the most eligible bachelors in Maredania. Not only was
he handsome and talented—his piano performance had won him countless awards—but he was also
the son of a count.
“That’s why I miss him. I wonder how he is in H Nation. He’s so handsome, so I’m sure there are tons
of girls who like him,” Penelope said with a smile.
It was as if she was an innocent girl, eager to meet her aunt-inw.
“It’ll be great if he can bring a prettydy back so I can have a little cousin soon! That’ll be amazing.”
Just as she said those words, Bianca’s expression darkened visibly.
A momentter, she said, “Penelope, you miss Uncle Ryan, right? Why don’t you and your mother
return to H Nation?”
“Huh? Go back to H Nation?” Penelope looked at Bianca in confusion. “Granny, you’re going to let me
and my mother go back to H Nation?”
“Your uncle already has someone to take care of him, so you and your mother should go there
together. That way, your mother can have a good talk with her brother.”
With a soft smile, Bianca said, “Matilda, book flight tickets for tomorrow for the two of them.”
“Of course,” Matilda quickly replied.
After thanking Bianca, Penelope merrily left.
