Mrs. Rhodes had only asked casually, but she couldn't help but gasp in surprise when she heard Arabella Donovan's response.
Mrs. Rhodes's unusual reaction startled Arabella Donovan and the others.
"Auntie, is there something wrong with that place?"
Mrs. Rhodes snapped out of her daze and said with a faint smile, "Nothing's wrong, it's just a bit surprising. The place you mentioned... we've actually been there."
"You've been there? You, or Mr. Rhodes?"
"All three of us have been," Mrs. Rhodes said, turning to share a sweet glance with her husband.
It turned out that Mr. Rhodes, a painter, specialized in traditional landscapes. In his youth, he had traveled all over the country in search of inspiration.
Although he wasn't as free after getting married, Mrs. Rhodes was understanding. She made sure to preserve this habit of his, setting aside two months every year to travel with him.
