If we're at the Aldridge estate, even if James wants to call you back in the middle of the night, he definitely couldn't sn at c h you from the front of the Aldridge estate. Let's go." Sophie nodded Joy was written all over Harold's face as he said, "Then I'll have the guest rooms prepared right away. My place is big, and I'll take you guys for a tour tomorrow." Sophie was distracted, her thoughts were all on tomorrow's masquerade ball.
She couldn't shake off the feeling that Gordon knew something. Thinking this, Sophie looked up and found herself meeting Gordon's gaze again. His gazes seemed like a deep, unfathomable cold pool, making her feel timid.

"Am I skind of scary beast?" "No," she replied, but it felt almost close Gordon explained, “Ms. Sophie, tomorrow is Harold's birthday and he hasn't had many friends in the past. Today's incident involved James, and I presumed you wouldn't want to return to the Burke estate. So, I had the rooms prepared in advance. Please, don't overthink it" Jenna added from the side, "Mr. Harold is always meticulous, thinking one step ahead of others. How could we possibly overthink? We are very grateful for your warm hospitality" Gordon nodded slightly.
Sophie was still pondering the truth behind Gordon's words. To others, his words might seem seventy to eighty percent believable, but to her, they were barely twenty to thirty percent.
