There was no way to find a free seat at the teahouse that day. The crowd was so dense that one could barely move. Edwin had to line up for three whole days before securing a private room.
Edwin specially selected a seat by the window, where the view was spectacular. Most of Noble Sun City lay spread out before them, twinkling under the night sky.
On the table sat two pots of exquisite tea, steam rising gently from the jade cups, still warm with fresh water mist.
A maid with an excellent figure and striking appearance stood poised beside the room's door, waiting attentively for the guests' commands.
Edwin gazed at the night sky, unease settling in his chest.
He wondered if Ethan would truly come.
Despite Ethan no longer being part of the Dao Sect, Edwin never harbored resentment toward him.
Besides, since his daughter had a good relationship with Ethan, Edwin felt he should look favorably upon the young man.
Of course, Edwin would not force him.
If Ethan came, that'd be best.
