“I know you want to be with Robert right now and won’t be living in our mansion now. I just wanted to ask – you’ve already gotten the marriage certificate with Robert, but the first wedding failed. Shouldn’t you hold another one?

“Also, I noticed you were a bit depressed today. I heard from Ivan. Don’t be afraid. No matter what the results are, everyone’s with you. If you’re really afraid, how about I call my sister over? You’ve known each other for over twenty years, after all. Sometimes I feel like when she’s here, you’ve got some proper emotional support.”

So Elsie had noticed all that. Georgia smiled helplessly.

“Maybe I’m overthinking it, or worrying too much. Maybe I’ll relax when the results come out tomorrow, or maybe…”

Georgia didn’t finish. She didn’t dare say that she might fall into even greater worry.

Elsie sighed and sat down in the car.

All along the way, Elsie thought about her own sister and Georgia, and sighed incessantly.

Wilson couldn’t help but speak up.

“What’s happened? You’ve been sighing all the while.”

“Do you think romance is a happy thing?”

Elsie asked Wilson such a question, and the man replied with a cold face.

“I think you’re asking me a neurotic question that I can’t answer.”

“Why can’t you answer?”

“A person who’s never experienced romance cannot answer that question for you.”

For some reason, even though Wilson had replied seriously, Elsie felt like he was joking.
