halls, Coupled with the boring color palette, sent a chill down her body.
“Lyse, are you feeling cold?” Jameson retrieved a pair of white home slippers from the shoe rack, knelt on
one knee, and placed them at Alyssa’s feet.
“Put these on. I’ll turn up the heat.”
She blinked and slid her feet into the warm, comfortable slippers.
She was surprised to find that the slippers were brand new and the right fit for her. They appeared to have
been prepared especially for her.

“Jameson, you’re home,’ Claire greeted them with a warm smile. She was the housekeeper responsible
for taking care of both Jameson and Lily.
“Lyse, this is Madam Claire.” Jameson introduced Alyssa to the lady
Then, he turned to Claire, saying. “Madam Claire, she’s-
“I know! This must be the Ms. Alyssa who’s always on your mind!”

Claire enthusiastically welcomed Alyssa. “How are you, Ms. Alyssa? You look so lovely! Even more
stunning than Miss Kontina!”
Alyssa smiled, blushing shyly. “Thanks for the compliment, Madam Claire.”
“Come on in! It must be freezing outside! Jameson, Madam Lily is waiting for you both,” urged Madam

“Mom!” Jameson called out to the woman in the wheelchair with a tan velvet blanket on her lap. She slowly turned around.
Alyssa felt a pang of sympathy when she saw Lily, who was the same age as Mandy but looked much
older with her gray hair.
“My son! You’re back!” Lily broke into a radiant smile. Though she may have aged, her beauty from her youth was still evident,
especially when she smiled.
He hurried over to give her a hug. Then, he announced, “Mom, Alyssa is here to see you.”

“Madam Lily, I’m here!’ Madam Claire quickly replied
“Get some juice and candy for Lyse!”
“Got it!” Madam Claire answered. She swiftly grabbed a handful of colorful candy from the exquisite snack box on the coffee
table and eagerly handed them to Alyssa.
She said, “Ms. Alyssa, please have some candies”
Alyssa accepted the candy in surprise. She hadn’t expected such a unique welcome from Lily.

ignores me, Lyse will stay by me.”
“Good. That’s good. Lyse, you have to visit Jimmy often and play with him!” Lily said, looking at Alyssa as
if she were the same young girl from 15 years ago.
Alyssa responded courteously, “Thank you, Mrs. Schmidt,”
