On the way back, Luisa entertained them with her repertoire of jokes, which made them laugh out loud, and created a Lively atmosphere.
As they made their way through the winding alleys toward the house, they spotted a graceful woman standing outside N&L Fairy Land, casually strolling back and forth.
Lucinda was the first to notice her, captivated by the woman’s beautiful face and timeless elegance. However, she had never seen this woman before.
Spotting them, the woman at the entrance smiled at Nathan and said, “Long time no see, Nathan.”
Lucinda furrowed her brows at the familiarity between them, briefly considering letting go of Nathan’s hand, but he held onto it tightly.
Nathan also gazed at the woman, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
“Aunt Agate.”
Aunt Agate?
Agate Payne, the youngest child of Norton’s, was in her thirties.
Rumor had it that she had been Living abroad and remained unmarried.
With the end of the year fast approaching, it was likely that she had returned to reunite with her family.
Lucinda felt a pang of embarrassment. She had mistaken Agate for one of Nathan’s admirers.
Nathan stepped forward and introduced, “Aunt Agate, this is my fiancee, Lucinda Simmons.”

“Nice to meet you.”
Lucinda greeted respectfully with a smile.
Agate glanced at Lucinda and gradually froze. Her displeasure was evident.
“What are you doing here? You’re Nathan’s fiancee?”
Hearing Agate’s words, Lucinda and Nathan exchanged puzzled glances.
“I have always been his fiancee. What have you heard about me?”
Lucinda retorted.
Agate’s expression turned cold.
“Not long ago, at the royal banquet hosted by the Princess Royal of Eurfrica, you made a spectacle on stage and might have paid no heed to the guests. I was present at that banquet too.”
Lucinda’s smile froze on her face.
Realizing that Agate had attended the banquet and was aware of her “wedding” to Kyson, it became clear why Agate had been unfriendly towards Lucinda. No wonder there was tension between them.
