Chapter 103 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (2/7) *** "The governor is coming?" "Yeah!" Murray's thick palm slapped Noah's bewildered back. He took a drag from the thick cigar he held between his other fingers, then pulled one out of the case and handed it to Noah. "No, thanks." "I want you to know it's my wish to share a cigar with you." Murray smirked and closed the cigarette case. "It's called the Lotra Club, you've heard of it, of course you have, being from the mainland." The...

Chapter 102 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (1/7) **** “Welcome. It's an honor to have you here." The museum director nodded toward them. The four of them followed his lead into the building. Dana walked alone in the back, thinking about this strange feeling in her chest. What the hell is this? Am I jealous of Olivia now? But she had no cause, no reason, no right to be jealous. "I'm sorry, Dana.” He apologized. "But we can't turn back time.” Perhaps that was the real goodbye....

Chapter 101 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (2/2) *** "You want to talk about the investment?" "Oh, yes." Dana was relieved to finally be able to talk about it. She was also grateful to Mr. Wisburne for reminding her of her purpose. "Mr. Macmilan says you might change your mind, is that true?" The smile that had been tugging at the corners of her mouth faltered quickly. "Change my mind...?" "That you might change your mind in favor of a different kind of high street business." Her widened...

Chapter 100 *** Sponsored by LC. Thank you ❤️ (½) **** It wasn't until Bilbo and Greenwood reached a secluded spot where there were no people that they stopped walking and looked at each other. "See?" The pawnbroker's jet-black eyes flashed with an uncanny light. "They were side by side like that in Tribbon yesterday, like lovers." "Mr. Greenwood...." "You wouldn't believe it if you saw it yourself? Wasn't it the dark kitchen, of all places? Mrs. Miller looked very flustered, as if the two...

Chapter 99 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (5/5) *** She didn't think 'tomorrow' would come so soon. Dana thought to herself as Theodore walked through the door as soon as the morning business was done. "Morning, Dana." He greeted her lightly, then walked over to Mick and Rachel. As he said something, they turned to look at her at the same time. Dana looked up at Theodore in confusion. "I have an emergency and I'm going to send them on an errand, is that okay?" Dana didn't answer...

Chapter 98 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (4/5) *** Dana suddenly turned to Theodore, then reached out and put her hand to his ear, then to his face. His eyes widened and his upper body tilted as if he were trying to avoid her. She could tell he was panicking. But she'd gotten her posture too perfect, and there was no turning back now. Dana blinked and whispered in his ear. "He's a master craftsman from Andaluca. He's been drinking and gambling his way through life, but his...

Chapter 97 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (3/5) *** Noah was returning to his quarters after finishing work. “I recently received a large investment from a businessman. Thanks to that, I was able to acquire two purebred stallions. How can I possibly raise them without you?” Mr. Murray hadn't just bought horses with the investment; he'd also expanded the barns and built more training paddocks, doubling the number of employees and filling up the lodging, so Noah had to move into...

Chapter 96 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (2/5) *** Saturday came too soon. As soon as she finished her morning business, Dana pulled out her best dress. It was the one she and Dorothy had tailored in the wardrobe room the day she'd started working at the parsonage, about a year ago. She put on a little powder and a new lipstick. She put on the earrings Noah had given her for her birthday. Her heart was beating strangely fast when she looked at herself in the mirror. Dana shook her...

Chapter 95 *** Sponsored by Virginie. Thank you ❤️ (1/5) *** "Master...!" Tilly ran for the umbrella, but stopped dead in his tracks. His master was standing under the awning. His face was shattered in the orange gaslight. Tilly swallowed dryly, not daring to approach. Theodore, who had been standing there like a broken clock, pulled a cigarette from his jacket and lit it with a trembling hand and held it to his lips. There was a pause as he held the red flame to the end of the cigarette....

Chapter 94 *** Sponsored by Chiry. Thank you ❤️ (5/5) *** He was silent for quite a long time. Her head filled with anxious thoughts and her chest heaved. If he kept pausing, she was going to scream, "I was traveling." The simple words instantly calmed down the boiling emotions. "I was staying in the hotel across the street, and happened to overhear your story.” Yes, it could have happened. It wasn't an improbable, impossible thing that could never happen. In fact, the Lewis train station...
