Chapter 20

The Ernest villa was situated near the lake. Though beautiful by day, night brought its own enchanting sight as light reflected off the water’s surface. The walking path along the shore cast passersby into faint silhouettes, making it an ideal spot for secret rendezvous. Jisen spun around slowly, admiring the splendid mansion as Viscountess Baker watched her excitement with warm, affectionate eyes. She felt immensely proud seeing how the delicate violet dress she had chosen, sparkling with silver beads, complemented Jisen’s natural coloring so well.
