Pleasure That Is Only Temporary

After the tea party was over, the noble ladies left the party venue. They hoped to get another tea party invitation from Jillian next time. Jillian was happy that they liked the party she had made.

They had all left, except for Jillian, Dion and Abelia who were still there. They didn't know why Abelia was still sitting where she was.

Jillian remembered what Abelia had said earlier, she wanted to tell Dion but it would make things complicated if Dion scolded Abelia again.

The woman could do something reckless again and another rumor would spread. So she chose to remain silent.

"Abelia, why aren't you home?" asked Dion, approaching the woman.

"I'll be home soon. I'm just getting some air. Besides, if I go home, I won't have anything to do at the mansion," Abelia replied.

"I see."

"What about your wound? Does it still hurt?" she asked, looking at Dion's hand.
