The elder of the Leclair Family searched for his grandson for two days. The phone calls were unreachable, messages unanswered. It wasn't until Delphine managed to connect a call. Yet, as he was about to shout in frustration, she hung up without waiting. The rage stuck in his throat, unable to burst out, leaving him suffocated.
"Grandpa Leclair, I won't be spending Chinese New Year's Eve at the Leclair Family's home this year," Delphine said quietly.
"At the Squire Family's home for New Year?" The elder was momentarily surprised but couldn't quite bear the thought.
"If I leave, Ignatius Leclair might return," Delphine said with a faint curl of her lips. Seeing that the elder did not object, she lowered her gaze and went upstairs to pack her things.
This year, there was no way she could celebrate at the Leclair mansion; since that was the case, why not leave.
