Seeing Orlando Evans's face turn ugly, Adele Horne couldn't help but call out to Glades Horne's retreating figure, "Brother, I want Orlando Evans to accompany me home."
Upon hearing Adele Horne's call, a look of joy appeared on Orlando Evans's face. Adele Horne was unwell and most in need of company. Perhaps Glades Horne, in his deep love for his sister, would agree to Adele's request and allow her to freely enter and exit the Horne Family residence again. In that case, she could continue to be close to Glades Horne. Even if she couldn't become his woman, just seeing him often would be a satisfaction—the kind that is like quenching one's thirst by looking at plums.
Glades Horne did not pause, leading Julia Bluen to the Rolls-Royce. He opened the rear door and gently ushered Julia Bluen inside, then followed. Regarding his sister's words, his lips remained pressed together without a single response, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
