Chapter 653

Alice took Serenity around the residence before excusing herself to take a nap.“Go and have your break, Alice. I’ll sit here and enjoy the view.”Serenity did not want to go back into the house. Compared to the lavishly furnished home, she preferred the natural scenery in the yard.She saw a few garden patches along the fence and guessed that her aunt must have done the gardening herself.Mrs. Stone was the lady of a wealthy and powerful family, but it did not change the fact that she grew up in an orphanage. It made sense that she would be hands–on with gardening after going through poverty and retiring from a desk job.
