"It''s lovely seeing you. I''ll be off now, but I''lle visit again soon."


    Morwenna waved goodbye to Keira with a bright smile.


    Summoning her courage, Keira also raised her hand and waved back.


    As she watched Morwenna walk away, a sudden urge to recover and return to school washed over


    Keira. She had dreaded the thought of going back to that intimidating institution, convinced that no


    one cared about her education. She used to think even without a diploma, her life wouldn''t be much


    affected.


    But learning that Morwenna was also at Rosefrost University shifted her perspective—maybe


    school wasn''t so scary after all.


    ...


    Morwenna returned to Hetfield''s Homestead.


    She spent some time chatting with Norbert before heading upstairs to make a phone call to


    Johnson, inquiring about the progress on the construction of Hope Elementary School.


    Afterward, she carefully calcted her earnings to figure out how long it would take to pay off her


    debt to Stuart.


    Feeling that she had attended to everything and everyone, she noticed that Stuart hadn’te


    home yet. This time, Morwenna didn''t go to sleep but stayed awake, waiting.


    By midnight, Stuart still hadn’t returned.


    Unable to hold back any longer, Morwenna sent him a text: “Stuart, what time are youing home


    tonight?”


    After sending the message, she kept staring at her phone screen, lighting it up every time it went


    dark.


    Half an hourter, her phone pinged. It wasn''t Stuart, but a marketing message.


    Morwenna couldn’t help butin, “Who sends promotions in the middle of the night!”


    Stuart didn’t reply, and after a while, Morwenna, unable to stay awake any longer, drifted off to


    sleep.


    The next morning at six, Morwenna got up on schedule, immediately checking around. There was


    no sign that Stuart hade home.

    Where could he be? Wasn’t he supposed to be staying at Hetfield''s Homestead? Perhaps he went


    back to Windcharm Vis?


    Morwenna decided to wait untilter to call Stuart, thinking it was too early and she might disturb his


    sleep.


    Distracted, she went to the market to chop fish.


    At eleven in the morning, unable to wait any longer, Morwenna finally called Stuart.


    “The number you have dialed is not avable at the moment. Please try againter.”


    Stunned, Morwenna stared nkly at her phone.


    Earlier, the market had been bustling.


    Now, as it quieted down, the butler contacted her about the private tutoring—ude needed a


    couple more days off.


    Norbert was taking a nap and would be busy with work in the afternoon. She didn’t know what to do


    and just kept waiting for Stuart’s call.


    But Morwenna didn’t get any calls.


    For two days, there was no sign of Stuart, and she couldn’t reach him by phone.


    Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Morwenna went directly to the Hetfield Group.


    She wanted to see Stuart and ask if he was upset about the kiss they shared—if so, she was ready


    to apologize.


    Upon arriving at the Hetfield Group, Morwenna approached the reception, “I’d like to see Mr. Stuart


    Hetfield, please.”


    The identical twin receptionists recognized her; their attitude was very friendly this time.


    One of the twins, surprised, quickly said, “Mr. Hetfield is celebrating his birthday today at


    Windcharm Vis with a big party. He’s not in the office today, ma''am. Didn’t you know?”
