Mill and Jane were keeping an eye out for Caroline, and Jane looked up,
“It is almost afternoon, I’ll be helping Norris cook” said Jane, Mill nodded,
After a while, Caroline went inside and so as Mill,
“Mademoiselle, I’ll be at the library”
“Alright”
Shortly after, Jane came running to Mill,
“What’s wrong?” asked she,
“I need help! No, I mean, we need help!”
“Why?”
“Come with me!”
Jane dragged Mill to the kitchen,
“Look at the time! I can’t believe that it was this late!”
“Why? It is still the afternoon…”
Mill looked outside the window and surprisingly saw Barr and Dylan,
“Wait…I’ll be right back” said Mill,
She quickly went out and called out for them, she got their attention,
“Would you care to help us?”
The two then quickly agreed,
While in the kitchen, Jane and the others got surprised, despite of the appearance of Barr and Dylan, having looking like rebels, Mill tried to explain,
“Come on everyone, let’s not judge a book by its cover, they’re really good cooks! They look like that but they can be trusted!” said she, Jane sighed,
“Well…it can’t be helped, you two! Put these on and help us out!” said Jane, the two nodded,
“Thank you” whispered Mill to them,
Midafternoon came, a bit late than the usual, Mill and Jane were preparing the table, Caroline suddenly came, Mill stopped her from entering,
“Ah, ah, Caroline, why not checking on Blake” said she,
“I just went to his room”
“Did he already give you your present?”
“Oui, I loved the dress! Thank you mademoiselle”
“Did you also thank him?”
“Oui”
Mill and Caroline went to Blake’s room, Mill sat down beside Blake,
“Are you still fussing about those contracts?” whispered Mill,
“Yes, it seemed that…Mme. Liana and M. Quinn couldn’t handle these”
“I’m sure you’ll find a way…” said Mill,
“Someday”
“I’ll be with Jane”
Mill went down to help Jane out, shortly after, Jane went up to call for Blake and Caroline, Barr and Dylan went out of the kitchen,
“Miss…” murmured Dylan,
“Ah! Thank you for your help! Why don’t you join us?”
“Maybe not…”
“Come on! It’ll be your share of helping!”
“Come now, mate, it’ll also be our favor for her!”
“There’s nothing that I can do…”
Jane, Blake, and Caroline went down, she was the first to arrive, she saw Barr and Dylan, and it seemed that she was shocked, Mill turned to her and said that they were her friends and that they helped cook,
“Mademoiselle, they look scary!” whispered Caroline,
“They just look scary but they’re really nice! Try to thank them…and invite them” replied Mill, Caroline sighed and slowly crept to towards them, at this point, Barr and Dylan were talking and didn’t notice Caroline,
She tried to utter a word, but it seemed that Barr and Dylan didn’t still notice her, until Caroline pulled Dylan’s clothes,
“O, Dylan look at this girl” said Barr, Dylan glared at him,
“What is it?”
Caroline looked away from Dylan, Barr sighed and kneeled,
“Pardon him little girl, he doesn’t quite being around with kids” said he,
“W-would you like to join us?” said Caroline,
“Sure!”
Caroline again looked at Dylan,
Shortly after, Jane and Blake came,
“Well then…shall we start?” said he, he looked at Barr and Dylan, and waved at them,
While they were eating, Jane went out and it seemed a messenger carried a letter, she then went back to the others, she read at the back of the letter and secretly handed the letter over to Mill,
“I’ll be right back…” said she,
She went to the balcony and read the letter, she grabbed Blake, and told him about Finn meeting Caroline,
“I’ll be going after this” said Mill, Blake nodded,
Hours passed, Barr and Dylan were at the gate about to leave, and Caroline chased them and called out for them,
“Thank you for today!” said she,
“We’re glad to help little girl” said Barr,
“M. Dylan!” shouted she,
She went closer to Dylan; Barr tapped Dylan’s back, he sighed, Dylan kneeled,
“I…I like you! Please wait for me!” said Caroline, she hugged Dylan and then she ran back to the hall,
Barr laughed,
“What’s this? What’s this? It seemed that that little girl took a liking towards you” said Barr, Dylan was red as he stood up,
“Oh! Why are you so red all of a sudden? Could this be…?” said Barr,
“I will” said Dylan, Barr seemed to have heard what Dylan said,
“Did you also develop feelings about that girl?”
“What are you saying? I might be accused of being a pedophile” said Dylan, Barr laughed,
Meanwhile at the hall, Mill asked Caroline if she wanted to go with her, Caroline quickly agreed,
Mill and Caroline went out to the stables,
“Where are we going?” asked she,
“You’ll find out”
Many hours passed, they arrived at the Crawford hall, luckily, and Rhoda was at the gate waiting for them,
“How long have you waited?”
“A second ago” said Rhoda; she looked over to Caroline,
“Little girl, do you still remember me?” asked Rhoda, Caroline nodded,
They went inside, to Finn’s office,
“Father…we’re here” said Mill, Finn turned around,
“So…Rhoda, told me everything…so, when is it?”
“What date do you prefer? When you’re not too busy” said Mill,
While the two were conversing, Rhoda and Caroline sat down beside each other, Caroline looked around, then Finn looked at Caroline,
“Come here”
Caroline obeyed,
“Caroline, introduce yourself” said Mill, Caroline smiled and nodded,
“Good day, Monsieur, I’m Caroline Collins, I just turned 6 today” said she, Finn kneeled,
“I’m Mill’s father, if your father continues to marry Mill; you’ll be my granddaughter, so, as early as now…welcome to our family!”
“Merci beaucoup”
After a while, Mill and Rhoda left the room, while Caroline was alone with Finn and suddenly got curious,
“Monsieur…where’s Mademoiselle’s mother?”
“She’s…gone”
“What do you mean?”
“Dead”
“Why?”
“It is best to ask Jane…instead of me”
“Monsieur…you know Mme. Jane?”
“Yes”
Hours passed, Mill and Caroline left the hall, and went back to the Collins,
Evening came, they arrived at the hall, Caroline went to her room, and Jane followed her, while Blake got a chance to talk to Mill,
“So…does your father like Caroline?”
“Yes very much, they talked a lot”
“And what else?”
“Father…he…wanted to know if when will be…our…wedding…y-you know since Sophia…returned and will be marrying Keegan…”
“If you want, after their wedding...will that be alright?”
“Very!”
“Well…it’s settled then…”
Mill looked at Blake then leaned on his shoulders, silence broke, after a while the two conversed,
Shortly after, they slept,
Half a week passed, the hall was in happy terms, it was also about Sophia and Keegan’s wedding, Blake, Mill, and Paul went to the venue, a little church in Warrington, the two went inside, Mill saw Mandau with his fiancé, she quickly greeted her and sat down beside her,
“How have you been?” asked Mandau,
“I’ve been well miss…”
Suddenly, Barr, Dylan and Paul came,
“AH!” shouted Barr,
“Marley…it’s been long” said Paul,
“You guys know him?”
“Yes, we’ve been mates for so long, he left because of his business and it seemed that he found a lady...” said Barr,
“When’s the wedding?” asked Dylan,
“Tomorrow”
Barr, Paul, and Mill were surprised,
“SERIOUSLY…?” they said,
“Yes, it is really tomorrow…I hope for all of you to come!” said Mandau,
“Surely!” said Mill,
“How about it guys? Could you spare your time for tomorrow?” asked Marley,
“You can count on us!” said Barr,
Shortly after, Keegan came,
“Marley, I heard, you’ll be getting married tomorrow”
“Yes…Boss, will you be able to come?”
“Of course, you’re my friend; I wouldn’t miss what my friends are doing”
“Thanks, boss”
After a while, a problem has occurred outside, Mill and the others went to it,
“What’s wrong Mrs. Lawson?” asked Keegan,
“Oh, oh, I think Sophia’s experiencing problems…this is bad!”
“I’ll go check on her”
Mrs. Lawson stopped Keegan,
“No, you mustn’t its bad luck! Do you know someone else who can check on her?”
“How about Mill Bernard…?”
“Bernard?”
Keegan pointed at Mill,
“I’ll go check on her” said Mill, Mrs. Lawson nodded and gave Mill the address,
Mill borrowed a horse on their carriage and went off to where Sophia was,
