"I have a little donkey, I never ride it. One day, on a whim, I rode it to the market…"
The performance was almost over, and Seraphina Redgrave began her own plan. She left the room seemingly unintentionally and walked into the tea room.
"Oh my God, miss! This is not a place you can enter! Stop messing around and leave with Granny Coleman. Be good~"
"Ride the donkey, I want to ride the donkey, you wicked woman! Don't stop me."
Seraphina suddenly shouted and desperately pushed Granny Coleman away. Seeing the edge of the table, she rushed towards it headfirst.
Granny Coleman was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and immediately ran over to hold her tight. Taking advantage of her distraction, Seraphina discreetly dropped the sleeping pills she had in her hand into the kettle nearby.
Having successfully executed her plan, she slowly followed Granny Coleman back.
Half an hour later, the entire villa was exceptionally quiet, as if suddenly plunged into darkness, without a sound.
Seraphina slowly left the room, only to see Granny Coleman and Nanny Lynch already asleep on the sofa.
She helped them into the room and covered them with blankets. The sleeping pills she had just administered ensured they would sleep for most of the day, a sure thing.
Finally, she could leave!
Seraphina smiled as she left the room, gently closing the door. She quietly locked the villa's main door and looked up at the sky, as clear as if it had been washed, taking a deep breath of fresh air.
Ah, this is the feeling of freedom!
At this moment, a taxi conveniently drove toward her.
Seraphina hailed the car, directly opened the door, and got in. She slowly gave the driver an address.
"103 Kempner Road, Kenton District. How long will it take to get there from here?"
She couldn't afford to delay even a moment, she had to return to the villa before Granny Coleman and Nanny Lynch woke up.
This place, even if she hadn't returned for three years, she would never forget it, not a single character wrong. She had engraved it into her bones and blood, unforgettable forever!
"If it's quick, it'll be half an hour. Do you need me to take you there?"
The driver found it a bit strange but didn't think much of it.
"Let's go."
Seraphina replied. With half an hour to spare, she could completely adjust her mindset and go back to play with them slowly!
The car smoothly traveled along the road, and Seraphina sat still, looking outside the window.
Three years, it had been three years since she last came back. Everything here had changed dramatically!
Countless unfamiliar buildings suddenly appeared before her eyes, and everything seemed so strange. It was as if reminding her that in the past three years, everything had changed beyond recognition!
The taxi came to a steady stop in front of a grand mansion, and the driver looked back at her, expressionless, and said, "Miss, that's 80 bucks. WeChat or Alipay?"
For a long time, he didn't hear Seraphina's answer.
The driver, somewhat impatient, glanced back again, only to see Seraphina sitting there, as if isolated from the world, completely oblivious to his voice.
Her enchanting big eyes stared unblinkingly at the mansion outside the window, her delicate features not showing the slightest hint of emotion.
"Miss, is this your house? We've arrived.
Hearing the driver's words, Seraphina suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
"This isn't my home, this is the home of my foe."
"…" The driver was stunned by this remark, unsure of how to react.
Seraphina didn't want to reveal her identity too early, so she pretended to be nonchalant.
"Ha, I was just messing with you, how could it be?"
The driver sighed in relief, hearing Seraphina continue in no rush, "Sir, could you please wait a moment? I don't have cash on me. I'll go in and get it for you, don't worry, I won't run away."
