The day passed by with no major events. Yue Ning had tried to convince Huo Yan to visit her parents' grave, but she declined stating she wasn't in a good state of mind to visit.
When Huo Feng returned, the villa was silent, only the maids moved silently to complete their chores.
When he found the living room empty, his brows furrowed. Guilt pricked at him, though he quickly suppressed it before summoning a maid.
"Young Master," the maid greeted with her head bowed.
"Where are my wife and sister?" He demanded, his voice deep and steady.
"Young Mistress and Young Miss are in their rooms respectively," the maid replied.
The look in Huo Feng's eyes deepened as he dismissed the maid. "You may leave."
She bowed before leaving. Huo Feng exhaled then walked up the stairs.
He stopped by Huo Yan's room, and he let out a deep breath before knocking. He only went in when he heard a hum of acknowledgement.
