Josiah suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He could no longer control it.
It was like Kelly had magic. Her eyes felt like a mysterious world that tempted him to explore.
He looked at her in a daze and felt their surroundings quieting down all of a sudden. It was like all the lights in the
world were concentrated on her.
A cool breeze blew, prompting coughs from the girl. It snapped Josiah out of his daze, and he removed his jacket to
drape it on her.
“It’s okay…”
“Put it on!” Josiah pulled it around her. “Don’t you have a weak body? You can’t catch a cold!”

There were noises from the auction, and people were already walking toward the door.
“Looks like it’s over,” said Josiah. “Uh… Let me send you home. Where are you living?”
Kelly shook her head. Everything that happened felt like a dream. Now that it was time to wake up, she should go
back to her reality.
Her reality was that she was the unknown daughter of the Tanners. She did not know she could live until which day
or if she would ever have a future…
She turned back and walked slowly. The voices of the Tanners’ servants looking for her could be heard from a
distance. She stopped and looked back at Josiah, telling him with a smile, “Thank you.”
She should thank him. He gave her the dream just now.
Josiah was startled.
“Hah, no worries!” He looked carefree. “You can still look for me if you want another walk next time…”
Before he finished, Kelly disappeared in the dark. Josiah widened his eyes, but he could only watch the frail white
figure get farther away from him.

Zephyr told Cordelia discreetly, “I think Josiah’s fallen in love.”
Cordelia was feeding Ginger some cat food and failed to process what he said.
“He would too?”
“What kind of silly question is this?” Zephyr stroked her nose intimately. “Can’t Josiah enjoy the pleasure of
romance?”

“Oh…” She murmured, “I see him being so close to Mr. Constable usually, so I thought he liked men!”
Zephyr’s eyes bulged, and he was at a loss for words.
“What’s in your little head even?”
Cordelia looked at him and grinned cheekily.
The next second, she hugged his arm and cuddled him. Her finger poked his chest playfully.
“I’m thinking… you’re so close to Nicholas usually too. Would you also…”
“Is that what you think!?”
Zephyr scooped her over and ran his hands all over her, tickling her. Cordelia almost choked from how ticklish she
was. Just when she was completely defenseless, he carried her into his arms.
