"Sylvester, you better be careful. Delphine's suitors are not only numerous but also ruthless," Bessie Leclair said with a late-coming smile.
Bessie had gone to the Yeager Family residence earlier in the morning, pestering Jocelyn Yeager, which made her late. Upon arriving, she heard Sylvester's words and immediately found herself seething with anger.
Her brother, her man—both had been utterly bewitched by this little Fox Spirit, and now Sylvester too?
Delphine, unaware of Bessie's return, saw her coming in with Jocelyn Yeager. Out of instinct, she glanced at Jocelyn. Half a month ago, Jocelyn had quietly disappeared; rumor had it that the elder of the Yeager Family had suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized. Now, with Jocelyn attending the banquet, it seemed the elder was recovering.
"Bessie, why are you only arriving now?"
"We waited for you for quite a while."
