StartNovelChapter 352:
Hearing Kristopher’s words, Evelyn smiled.
“| can’t say how long Cathy's slumber will last,” she said, gesturing invitingly toward Kristopher. “I've recently
purchased a new tea from this year’s harvest. Would you like to joinin the tea room?”
“Would you care to sample it?” With a smile on his lips, Kristopher nodded. “Of course.”
With that, he followed Evelyn inside.
As he passed by Belinda, he reminded her in a low voice, “Follow me, but do not wander around the house
without permission.”
Belinda rolled her eyes. She understood Kristopher’s desire to protect Cathy and Evelyn, treating her as an
outsider. But she did not appreciate Kristopher assuming she was unaware of the basic etiquette for a guest.
Pursing her lips, she followed Kristopher and Evelyn to the tearoom.
Sensing the awkwardness of an elder in the presence of two younger people, Kristopher took the initiative to
start a conversation as they walked. “The architectural style of Eden View is unique in Nawrin. Mrs. Miller, did

way to make amends.”
Kristopher, well aware of the complicated dynamics within the Miller family, understood that Evelyn didn’t want
to mention Joyce. He chose not to press the matter further. “I see. You chose to live here in remembrance of
her...”
As he spoke, he suddenly recalled that Joyce, a jewelry designer at Wildfield Design Studio, had been terminally
ill. He felt a tinge of regret for canceling today’s meeting.

Had it not been for the numerous events that had occurred today, perhaps he could have uncovered more about
this “Joyce” who had suddenly appeared.
But after a moment's hesitation, Kristopher looked at Evelyn with a furrowed brow and asked, “Mrs. Miller, |
wonder if any of your family members have an interest in jewelry design?”
“No,” Evelyn replied as she opened
the door to the tea room and
motioned for Kristopher to sit. Her
