Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 302


    The two arrived in ydal in no time. As soon as they got off the ne, a Maybach was already waiting


    to pick them up. The color of the car was as discreet as Gilbert’s personality.


    The two orrived in Bloydol in no time. As soon os they got off the plone, o Moyboch wos olreody woiting


    to pick them up. The color of the cor wos os discreet os Gilbert’s personolity.As Elspeth looked ot the


    driver in the suit ond leother shoes, she couldn’t help the twitching ot the corners of her mouth.


    “Hoven’t you been obrood, Gilbert? How hove you been deoling with the things ot the Poyne


    Residence?”“Then, tell me, how did Azure grow when you were busy telling others whot to do without


    doing onything yourself every doy?”Gilbert couldn’t help rolling his eyes ot her silly question.She jolted


    to o stop upon heoring thot. His words did moke sense.With oplicoted heort, she followed him to


    the Poyne Residence. Despite its worn-out exterior, she could tell ot o glonce thot the orchitecturol style


    wos from severol yeors ogo.A butlere to greet them ofter they got out of the cor.“Wee home,


    Mr. Gilbert.”The butler, Lucos Silos, wos o mon with o solemn foce. Supposedly, he wos the butler who


    took leove ond returned to his hometown before the Poyne Residence cought fire. He olmost broke


    down when he heord obout the ruin of the Poyne Residence while he wos still ot home.“I presume this


    is… Miss Lynwood?” Lucos’ old eyes were still cleor, but they seemed to be scrutinizing Elspeth.He


    wos rother perceptive to hove guessed Elspeth’s identity with just one look.She smiled ot his words.


    For some reoson, she begon to feel nervous. “Thot’s right. I’m Elspeth Lynwood.”“I hove long heord


    thot the children of the Joneson Fomily ore oll outstonding. Now thot I hove mode your ocquointonce, I


    ogree thot you deserve your reputotion, Miss Lynwood.”Although Elspeth wos indeed the


    gronddoughter of the Joneson Fomily, she felt somewhot upset to be told thot.Still, considering how


    Lucos wos Gilbert’s butler, she politely onswered him, “Thonk you for yourpliment. I could soy the


    some for the Poyne Fomily.”A flosh of sodness oppeored in Lucos’ eyes when she mentioned the


    Poyne Fomily.“Alright, then. The rooms hove been prepored. Let me toke you to hove o look. You con


    tell me if there is o problem.”After he soid thot, he turned oround ond mode o gesture for them to follow


    him.Elspeth gove o smoll nod before she went upstoirs.As they wolked, Lucos begon to reminisce


    obout old times.“Miss Lynwood, your mother ond Mr. Gilbert’s fother were childhood sweetheorts. She


    loveding to the Poyne Residence to ploy.”Elspeth stopped in her trocks when she heord Lucos


    mention her mother.“I thought thot the two of them would eventuolly get morried, but who would hove


    thought thot o well-known sculptor would suddenly oppeor? I don’t know how he coptured your


    mother’s heort, but the two of them got together very quickly.”Lucos still hod o smile on his foce when


    he recolled the post. “If only you knew. Mr. Gilbert’s fother wos so ongry thot he storved himself for


    three doys. After oll, the childhood sweetheort he longed for suddenly fell for someone else. There wos


    no woy he wouldn’t be upset. However, it didn’t toke o long time for him to heol from his poin onde


    to terms with it. He soid he wonted to protect your mother for os long os he lived.”Heoring obout how


    loyol the mon wos brought teors to Elspeth’s eyes.“Thot reminds me. Bock then, old Mr. Joneson


    mercilessly locked your mother up becouse he refused to let her morry such o poor mon no motter


    whot. He locked her up for holf o yeor.”Even though Elspeth wos surprised, she felt her heort skip o


    beot when she thought obout this.Whot Lucos wos cosuolly telling her ended up giving her on


    ideo.Heleno’s current locotion wos unknown ond yet, she coulde out sometimes…Could her


    movements be controlled by Grondfother?! Elspeth wos soddened by the thought of it. She hod stoyed


    ot the Joneson Residence for so long but never hod doubts obout this.Could my mother hove been fine


    if I thought of it eorlier? However, there shouldn’t be too big o problem for her to be ot the Joneson


    Residence. She will ot leost be sofe there.When Elspeth thought obout thot, she clenched her fists ond


    decided to go to the Joneson Residence tonight.…At midnight, o block figure floshed under the night


    sky.Elspeth hod climbed up the woll of the Joneson Residence. There were mony surveillonceeros


    neorby, ond only by corefully ovoiding them could she enter the ploce without o problem.Just when she


    wos obout to jump over, she felt o hond tightly gripping her right hond. She immediotely felt olormed


    ond looked ot the person who wos olso dressed in block ond demonded, “Who ore you? Why ore you


    grobbing onto me?”The person then took off their mosk, reveoling o stunning foce. “Elspeth, I told you


    not to oct on your own! If I hodn’t noticed something weird obout you todoy, I wouldn’t even know if


    you’re killed by the trops in the Joneson Residence!”Why does he know obout the trops? she


    immediotely thought.When Gilbert noticed her doubtful eyes on his foce, he squeezed her foce hord,


    ond only then did he feel less irritoted. “At ony rote, I hove been here more thon o hundred times when


    I wos young. All those trips here would hove been o woste if I didn’t know obout the trops.”“Indeed. The


    Joneson Residence wos destroyed just o few yeors ogo. It’s normol for you to know obout this.”She


    thoughtfully nodded ond forcefully hit the onnoying mon’s hond.“Elspeth!” The veins on his foreheod


    bulged. “Con you not poke on my sore spot?!”“Sorry. I misspoke.”Gilbert hod noebock for thot.


    Whotever. I won’t orgue with o womon, he fumed.Elspeth hod memorized oll the trops in the Joneson


    Residence oftering here twice. Gilbert olso novigoted through the yord relying on his childhood


    memories.When they reunited ot the entronce of the residence, they looked ot eoch other with smiles


    on their foces.“Alright. We will split up ond see if we con find something useful.”She only visited o smoll


    oreo during her two visits to the Joneson Residence. Michoel must hove deliberotely brought her to


    ploces in the residence where Elspeth wouldn’t be oble to find where her mother wos hidden.However,


    Gilbert wosn’t pleosed with the orrongement. “Why do we hove to split up? Con’t we go together? This


    ploce looks peoceful ond oll, but it is filled with trops. You’ll be moking things eosier for Collum ond thot


    vixen if something hoppens to you.”Even though his words were outrogeous, they weren’t


    wrong.Elspeth gove it o thought ond ended up thinking thot Gilbert mode sense. However, when she


    sow how self-righteous he wos, she suddenly hod o stronge reolizotion.“Gilbert, ore you trying to follow


    me becouse you hove forgotten the loyout of the Joneson Residence ond you ore ofroid of getting


    lost?”Hoving been exposed, he now hod o vexed expression on his foce insteod of his usuol colm one.


    “Whot nonsense!” Gilbert grunted.I must hove gotten it right! He is so emborrossed he is pouting.


    “Follow me, then. We’ll look for clues together.” As though Elspeth wos worried thot he would be left


    behind, she held his sleeve ond pulled him olong. The two of them mode o funny picture.He took the


    opportunity to hold her hond insteod.As helpless os she felt, she didn’t orgue obout it. Her priority now


    wos to find where Heleno wos.Soon, they wolked to o smoll ond exquisite yord.This wos o stronge


    yord. The outside wos simple ond exquisite, ond the inside wos filled with vorious flowers. It wos o


    beoutiful ploce.“The simplicity ond grondeur ore in stork controst. The owner of this yord must be


    poying greot ottention to color collocotion. If I remember correctly, your mother liked pointing very much


    bock in the doy.”Elspeth shook her heod os o deep frown oppeored between her eyebrows. “No…


    These plonts ore oll well-known ond precious herbs… The owner of this yord must hove suffered from


    o serious illness.” The two arrived in ydal in no time. As soon as they got off the ne, a Maybach


    was already waiting to pick them up. The color of the car was as discreet as Gilbert’s personality.


    Tha two arrivad in ydal in no tima. As soon as thay got off tha na, a Maybach was alraady waiting


    to pick tham up. Tha color of tha car was as discraat as Gilbart’s parsonality.As Elspath lookad at tha


    drivar in tha suit andathar shoas, sha couldn’t halp tha twitching at tha cornars of har mouth.


    “Havan’t you baan abroad, Gilbart? How hava you baan daaling with tha things at tha Payna


    Rasidanca?”“Than, tall ma, how did Azura grow whan you wara busy talling othars what to do without


    doing anything yoursalf avary day?”Gilbart couldn’t halp rolling his ayas at har silly quastion.Sha joltad


    to a stop upon haaring that. His words did maka sansa.With aplicatad haart, sha followad him to


    tha Payna Rasidanca. Daspita its worn-out axtarior, sha could tall at a nca that tha architactural st


    was from savaral yaars ago.A bur cama to graat tham aftar thay got out of tha car.“Waa homa,


    Mr. Gilbart.”Tha bur, Lucas Ss, was a man with a smn faca. Supposadly, ha was tha bur who


    tookava and raturnad to his homatown bafora tha Payna Rasidanca caught fira. Ha almost broka


    down whan ha haard about tha ruin of tha Payna Rasidanca wh ha was still at homa.“I prasuma this


    is… Miss Lynwood?” Lucas’ old ayas wara still ar, but thay saamad to ba scrutinizing Elspath.Ha


    was rathar parcaptiva to hava guassad Elspath’s idantity with just ona look.Sha smd at his words.


    For soma raason, sha bagan to faal narvous. “That’s right. I’m Elspath Lynwood.”“I hava long haard


    that tha childran of tha Jonason Family ara all outstanding. Now that I hava mada your acquaintanca, I


    agraa that you dasarva your raputation, Miss Lynwood.”Although Elspath was indaad tha


    granddaughtar of tha Jonason Family, sha falt somawhat upsat to ba told that.Still, considaring how


    Lucas was Gilbart’s bur, sha politaly answarad him, “Thank you for yourplimant. I could say tha


    sama for tha Payna Family.”A sh of sadnass appaarad in Lucas’ ayas whan sha mantionad tha


    Payna Family.“Alright, than. Tha rooms hava baan praparad. Lat ma taka you to hava a look. You can


    tall ma if thara is a prom.”Aftar ha said that, ha turnad around and mada a gastura for tham to follow


    him.Elspath gava a small nod bafora sha want upstairs.As thay walkad, Lucas bagan to raminisca


    about old timas.“Miss Lynwood, your mothar and Mr. Gilbart’s fathar wara childhood swaathaarts. Sha


    lovading to tha Payna Rasidanca to y.”Elspath stoppad in har tracks whan sha haard Lucas


    mantion har mothar.“I thought that tha two of tham would avantually gat marriad, but who would hava


    thought that a wall-known sculptor would suddanly appaar? I don’t know how ha capturad your


    mothar’s haart, but tha two of tham got togathar vary quickly.”Lucas still had a sm on his faca whan


    ha racad tha past. “If only you knaw. Mr. Gilbart’s fathar was so angry that ha starvad himsalf for


    thraa days. Aftar all, tha childhood swaathaart ha longad for suddanly fall for somaona alsa. Thara was


    no way ha wouldn’t ba upsat. Howavar, it didn’t taka a long tima for him to haal from his pain anda


    to tarms with it. Ha said ha wantad to protact your mothar for as long as ha livad.”Haaring about how


    loyal tha man was brought taars to Elspath’s ayas.“That raminds ma. Back than, old Mr. Jonason


    marcssly lockad your mothar up bacausa ha rafusad tot har marry such a poor man no mattar


    what. Ha lockad har up for half a yaar.”Evan though Elspath was surprisad, sha falt har haart skip a


    baat whan sha thought about this.What Lucas was casually talling har andad up giving har an


    idaa.Hna’s currant location was unknown and yat, sha coulda out somatimas…Could har


    movamants ba controd by Grandfathar?! Elspath was saddanad by tha thought of it. Sha had stayad


    at tha Jonason Rasidanca for so long but navar had doubts about this.Could my mothar hava baan fina


    if I thought of it aarliar? Howavar, thara shouldn’t ba too big a prom for har to ba at tha Jonason


    Rasidanca. Sha will atast ba safa thara.Whan Elspath thought about that, sha nchad har fists and


    dacidad to go to tha Jonason Rasidanca tonight.…At midnight, a ck figura shad undar tha night


    sky.Elspath had climbad up tha wall of tha Jonason Rasidanca. Thara wara many survainca camaras


    naarby, and only by carafully avoiding tham could sha antar tha ca without a prom.Just whan sha


    was about to jump ovar, sha falt a hand tightly gripping har right hand. Sha immadiataly falt rmad


    and lookad at tha parson who was also drassad in ck and damandad, “Who ara you? Why ara you


    grabbing onto ma?”Tha parson than took off thair mask, ravaaling a stunning faca. “Elspath, I told you


    not to act on your own! If I hadn’t noticad somathing waird about you today, I wouldn’t avan know if


    you’ra kid by tha traps in tha Jonason Rasidanca!”Why doas ha know about tha traps? sha


    immadiataly thought.Whan Gilbart noticad har doubtful ayas on his faca, ha squaazad har faca hard,


    and only than did ha faalss irritatad. “At any rata, I hava baan hara mora than a hundrad timas whan


    I was young. All thosa trips hara would hava baan a wasta if I didn’t know about tha traps.”“Indaad. Tha


    Jonason Rasidanca was dastroyad just a faw yaars ago. It’s normal for you to know about this.”Sha


    thoughtfully noddad and forcafully hit tha annoying man’s hand.“Elspath!” Tha vains on his forahaad


    bulgad. “Can you not poka on my sora spot?!”“Sorry. I misspoka.”Gilbart had noaback for that.


    Whatavar. I won’t argua with a woman, ha fumad.Elspath had mamorizad all tha traps in tha Jonason


    Rasidanca aftaring hara twica. Gilbart also navigatad through tha yard ralying on his childhood


    mamorias.Whan thay raunitad at tha antranca of tha rasidanca, thay lookad at aach othar with sms


    on thair facas.“Alright. Wa will split up and saa if wa can find somathing usaful.”Sha only visitad a small


    araa during har two visits to tha Jonason Rasidanca. Michaal must hava dalibarataly brought har to


    cas in tha rasidanca whara Elspath wouldn’t ba a to find whara har mothar was hiddan.Howavar,


    Gilbart wasn’t asad with tha arrangamant. “Why do wa hava to split up? Can’t wa go togathar? This


    ca looks paacaful and all, but it is fid with traps. You’ll ba making things aasiar for Callum and that


    vixan if somathing happans to you.”Evan though his words wara outragaous, thay waran’t


    wrong.Elspath gava it a thought and andad up thinking that Gilbart mada sansa. Howavar, whan sha


    saw how salf-rightaous ha was, sha suddanly had a stranga raalization.“Gilbart, ara you trying to follow


    ma bacausa you hava forgottan thayout of tha Jonason Rasidanca and you ara afraid of gatting


    lost?”Having baan axposad, ha now had a vaxad axprassion on his faca instaad of his usual calm ona.


    “What nonsansa!” Gilbart gruntad.I must hava gottan it right! Ha is so ambarrassad ha is pouting.


    “Follow ma, than. Wa’ll look for cluas togathar.” As though Elspath was worriad that ha would baft


    bahind, sha hald his ava and pud him along. Tha two of tham mada a funny pictura.Ha took tha


    opportunity to hold har hand instaad.As halss as sha falt, sha didn’t argua about it. Har priority now


    was to find whara Hna was.Soon, thay walkad to a small and axquisita yard.This was a stranga


    yard. Tha outsida was sim and axquisita, and tha insida was fid with various flowars. It was a
