Mikayla nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes! You can’t see it, but my heart’s pumping so fast right now!” Eliseplayed along and reached out to feel her heart. “Let me hear it.” Mikayla immediately nudged closer toher. The two girls locked eyes and shared a smile. Elise nodded solemnly and said, “Wow, it’s true!”Mikayla’s face turned pink. “Elise, you’re so pretty when you smile! How did I not know about this backthen? You’re so charming; I’d be so smitten by you if I were a man.” Elise knocked on her head lightly.“Let’s do that in our next lives! I promise I’ll marry you if you’re a man.”

“Sure, promise!” Elise smiled and she finally looked toward Jack. Seeing that he was still in disbelief,she wasn’t planning to explain much either. She simply asked, “Have you seen Alexander?” Jackinstinctively shook his head. “I haven’t seen him the entire day. Ask Stella! She probably knows.” Jackquickly called for Stella. Surprisingly, Stella stared at Elise like she was a stranger. She even asked,“Who’s this lady here, Young Master Jack?” Elise smiled at Stella and said, “Stella, it’s me—Elise.”Stella visibly jolted at the sound of that. The woman usually got along quite well with Elise.

Even though Elise had a peculiar personality and had a habit of dressing up in strange fashion everyday, Stella had in turn become quite used to that version of her. Right now, such a gorgeous womanwas standing right in front of her, but she had the same exact voice as Elise. The two women bore somuch of a difference that Stella had trouble believing they were the same person. “Did you sayyou’re… Miss Elise?” Elise nodded, but Stella was still in disbelief. “Miss, you’re kidding, right? Eventhough Miss Elise isn’t exactly the most beautiful woman out there, she’s very kind and she’s a nicelady.

On the other hand, you’re so pretty—this is too much of a difference compared to Miss Elise! How’sthat possible?” “Stella, it’s really me!” Elise said sincerely. However, Stella still couldn’t believe hereyes. Has the ugly duckling really transformed into a swan? “I still don’t believe you, unless you tell mea secret that only me and Miss Elise would know about.” Elise smiled slightly. She quickly went up to

Stella and whispered into her ear. The older woman was quite taken aback when she heard Elise’swords. “A-Are you really Miss Elise?” “Yes, Stella! It’s really me!”

“I… I can’t believe it… Miss Elise, did you get plastic surgery?” Elise shook her head with a smile. “No,it’s just that I used to dress myself up too… unfashionably. Anyway, this is the real me.” Though Stellawasn’t fully convinced by Elise’s explanation, she decided to believe that the person before her wasindeed Elise. “Miss Elise, is there anything you need from me?” Elise answered immediately, “Where’sAlexander? Did he come home?”

Stella’s expression soured at the mention of Alexander. “Miss Elise, I’d almost forgotten to tell youabout it. Young Master Alexander has gone overseas; he left in a hurry in the morning. Apparently, Mr.and Mrs. Griffith got into an accident over there…” “What did you say? What happened to my parents?”Jack hastily butted in. Stella was initially planning to hide it from him, but she could no longer do so.Now, she had no choice but to tell the truth. “Mr. and Mrs. Griffith got into an accident in Yveltalia, andthere hasn’t been any news of their whereabouts.

Young Master Alexander immediately arranged a private jet to fly him to Yveltalia upon hearing thenews. He’s probably arrived by now. He even informed me to apologize to you on behalf of him beforehe left, Miss Elise.” Jack had already turned around by the time Stella was done speaking. He made hisway to the main door in long strides. Elise quickly rushed up to him when she came back to hersenses. “Jack! Where’re you going?” “I’m going to Yveltalia to replace my parents.” “I’ll go with you,” Elisesaid without a second thought. Jack nodded. “Alright!”

“Wait for me. I’ll go grab my passport upstairs.” With those words, Elise scurried upstairs. Stellastopped her immediately. “Miss Elise, Young Master Alexander specifically said that you should wait athome.” “You too, Young Master Jack! You should stay at home too. Young Master Alexander said thathe’ll be able to handle the situation there alone. He’ll let you two know as soon as there are anyupdates.” Hearing that, Mikayla chimed in, “Yeah, she’s right!

The situation’s unclear now, so you two won’t be able to help much even if you go there. Why don’t youguys stay at home and wait patiently?” However, Jack was persistent. “That won’t do. I have to go.”“Young Master Jack! You must listen to Young Master Alexander!” Jack’s hands tightened into fists oneither side. After a moment of deep thought, he finally said, “Let me know if there’s news.”“Understood, Young Master Jack.

Don’t worry, both of you. Mr. and Mrs. Griffith are wonderful people, so the heavens will definitely keepthem safe. They’ll be okay for sure.” Stella didn’t know if she was trying to comfort them or herself withthose words. Meanwhile, Elise could only pray silently that everything was fine. That day, the inside ofthe Griffith Residence was brightly lit the entire night. Jack stayed up in the living room all night long,while Elise and Mikayla only drifted off to sleep hours after midnight when they couldn’t hold in theirdrowsiness anymore. Elise woke up early the next morning.

The first thing she did was to ask Stella, “How’s everything? Any updates?” Stella shook her head. “Notyet, but don’t worry, Miss Elise. No news is often the best news.” Elise was a little disappointed. “I canonly hope they’re safe and well.” Just as the words left her mouth, the telephone in the living roomrang. Elise was the first to react; she scrambled to the living room and picked up the call. “Hello? Is itAlexander?” A familiar voice replied from the other end of the line, “It’s me. You’re up early, aren’t you?”“Yeah.” Elise asked, “How’s it going over there? Are your parents okay?”

“We have yet to replace them at the moment. I’m just calling to let you guys know that you don’t have toworry. Also, I was in a hurry yesterday so I left without saying goodbye. I’m sorry.” “No worries! Be sureto take care of yourself over there too. Let us know at once if there are any updates.” Just then, Jackwalked up to her. Elise quickly handed him the phone. “I’m passing the phone to Jack. He needs to talkto you.” Then, the boys talked for a while on the phone before Jack hung up. The constant bad feelingthat weighed on Elise’s heart was finally lifted after getting a call from Alexander. Now that she wasdone with the college entrance examination and her fan meeting was also over, she had become quitefree all of a sudden.

And so, she thought, Why don’t I take the chance to visit Grandpa and Grandma at home? She quicklymade up her mind and went back to her room to pack up some things. That afternoon, she set out forhome. As she watched the scenery gradually become more and more familiar during her journey of afew hours, she cheered up considerably. After all, in her six months of being away, there was never amoment where she wasn’t longing to return home. The car slowly made a turn into a path amidst aprairie before it slowly came to a stop in front of a luxurious mansion.

“I’m back, Grandpa and Grandma…” Robin and Laura were sitting under the grapevines, enjoying theafternoon breeze. They thought they’d hallucinated when they heard Elise’s voice, but the two elderlywere delighted to see Elise once she came into view. “Ellie is back.” “Why didn’t you tell us you werecoming home?

And why are you alone? Where’s Alex?” Robin asked as he peered behind Elise for a sign ofAlexander. Elise quickly explained, “He didn’t come, Grandpa. He’s busy.” Robin was visiblydisappointed when he heard that. “Why didn’t you bring my grandson-in-law home for a visit? You’re soinconsiderate, Ellie…”
