The whole manor knew that Lord Lakeian was waiting for a woman.
Everyone said that he was paranoid and arrogant, but he always muttered with red eyes after drinking: "My lover is just having fun and forgot to go home... When I find her, I will never leave again in this life."
Until that day, the legendary "old man" really came back.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, the usually arrogant lord tremblingly hugged her into his arms, his voice hoarse: "You still know how to come back..."
Yue Xi hugged him back gently, her tone as gentle as ever: "Forgive me, my dear."
Their youngest son Elian quietly grasped the hem of her skirt and raised his face, but his eyes hid a darkness that did not belong to a child:
"Mother, you won't leave again this time, right?"
Yue Xi smiled and leaned over and swore: "No, I will never leave you again."
——She didn't see that the father and son exchanged a calm and profound look.
This time, they would never let her "forget" to go home again.
This time, a gentle cage has been built for her.
