Before long, Aurora returned to the hall and talked with the other noble ladies. When asked about Adela, Aurora only said that she didn’t find her and she might be resting in one of the rooms there.
The other noble ladies only nod, but Annelie frowned.
Because as the host of the tea party, her mother didn’t say anything to her about this.
But she didn’t let this matter be in her mind for long because the tea party was still ongoing.
It would not be good for her to be distracted.
Soon, Duchess Isabella and the others came to pick Aurora and the other girls.
"Where’s Adela?" Duchess Isabella asked.
"Adela should be resting in one of the rooms, Mother," Aurora replied with a faint smile on her face.
"Marques Brown, do you know anything about this?" Duchess Isabella asked.
"Ah yes, my maid informed me that they have found Miss Adela sleeping in one of the rooms," Marques Brown replied and looked at the Duchess in front of her with a faint smile.
To be honest, she didn’t expect it either when the maid come to inform her. But she felt that this would be interesting for a drama and gossip.
Of course, she would not start one.
She had no intention to cause disruption with her relationship towards Duke White. It was not good to offend a powerful noble because of a small matter like this.
"I’ll pick her." Duchess Isabella sighed.
"I’ll lead you," Marques Brown replied and glanced at Aurora who was following Duchess Isabella. Seeing how calm the girl was, Marques Brown’s heart trembled for a moment.
And at this moment, Aurora also raised her eyes to look at Marques Brown’s direction. Her purplish hue eyes were very clear as if she could see through what Marques Brown was thinking.
Aurora showed a faint polite smile, but Marques Brown felt a faint chill for a moment.
She pressed down her thoughts and led Duchess Isabella to one of the resting rooms. Inside the room, Adela was resting on the couch and there was a maid from Marques Brown who was waiting for her.
’It’s still this room.’ Aurora glanced at the balcony and the corner of her lips curled up slightly. ’How brave.’
"This girl..." Duchess Isabella felt rather helpless wen she saw Adela sleeping in front of her. She could only stretch her hand and try to wake Adela up.
No matter what, she couldn’t possibly let Adela slept here all day long.
They had to return to Duke White’s Residence.
"Mother..." Adela stirred awake and when she saw her mother, she was stunned. She quickly sat up. "I’m sorry, I..."
"Come here." Duchess Isabella looked at Adela helplessly and patted her head. "It’s fine. We can go to another tea party when your condition is better."
Another one?
Adela froze.
Thinking about the tea party just now, Adela was not very thrilled to know that she would have to participate in another one soon. In the tea party, she could see that the center of attention was Aurora, who was very elegant and also the role model for many people.
Aurora saw Adela’s gaze and her eyes deepened.
It seemed that this girl had a lot of thoughts and it was going to be very troublesome.
Oh well, Aurora was not afraid.
...
After that tea party that was not like tea party, Aurora went back home and motioned for Les to come.
"Yes, Miss?"
"How much money I have?" Aurora asked.
As the duke’s daughter, Aurora naturally has her allowance. She rarely went out of the mansion, but it didn’t mean that she would not go out at all. The allowance was usually used to buy dresses and other accessory for Aurora.
Since Aurora didn’t have much demand for these and only bought it when it was necessary, there were still a lot of money left.
"There are still..." Les quickly went to check and then reported the number to Aurora. It was not much compared to the income of the duke, but it was actually quite a lot.
Aurora thought for a moment and then said, "I want you to keep the money and not use them at all."
"Miss?" Les was stunned.
What if there was a need for Aurora to buy new dress and other accessory? The allowance was given to them for this purpose.
Aurora chuckled lightly. "Just for another year or two."
"But if there’s any request..." Les was flustered.
"Don’t worry, I’ll separate a bit to buy the necessary dress," Aurora said slowly. "But the rest of the money will be given to me, understand?"
Les looked at Aurora’s determined eyes and could only obeyed. The money belonged to Aurora anyway and the servants were only helping her to keep and spend them.
How Aurora wanted to spend her money was naturally up to her.
The servants had no say in this matter.
