"Brother Russo."
Joel Russo's eyes paused for a moment. His gaze lingering on her only wavered slightly when he heard her call him "Brother Russo."
"Selvia Todd."
The doubt and hesitation in Joel Russo's voice made Selvia Todd's eyes narrow slightly.
He actually didn't recognize her?
"...Yes."
In an instant, she pulled the corners of her lips into a graceful and poised smile, nodding gently.
"When did you return?" Joel Russo asked casually, lowering his head to arrange Arabella Vanderbilt's hair falling over her shoulder back to the back.
Selvia Todd moved slightly, placing her right hand on her left wrist.
"Just returned today."
Arabella Vanderbilt lowered her gaze, observing the tremor in the woman's hands before her, her eyes darkening.
Joel Russo nodded faintly upon hearing this.
Then looking at the quiet woman in his arms, he slightly curved his lips.
With a gentle exertion of his long arms, he brought Arabella Vanderbilt forward a little.
