"My brother is back!" Sam spotted Lucas standing next to the garbage can next to the door.

"Sure, I'll go. If he comes after you, just bleverything onand tell him that I insisted on coming in," Sam said before exiting the house.
He walked out of the yard and stopped before Lucas. "Did you have fun at Bennett's mansion? Your little servant waited the whole night for you, saying that you would be back. Haha... You should probably console her!" Sam teased and headed back to the Main Block after spotting Lucas's clenched fists.
Irene opened the front door of the South Block and waited for Lucas to enter, but he remained frozen like a statue in the yard without saying a single word or moving.
The cold air entered the living room, and unable to stand it any longer, Irene started walking toward Lucas.
"He's angry," she thought. "Is it because Mr. Sam was here, or because he overheard what we said?" Whichever it was, Irene did not feel guilty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe South Block was a part of the Woods' mansion and as a servant, she had no right to stop Sam from entering the block. As for what she said to Sam, she meant every word and she could not help it if Lucas felt offended by them. Irene hurried over to Lucas, but before she could reach him, he strode right past her and headed into the South Block.
She stood still and watched him as he disappeared from sight, realizing that she might not be able to keep her job any longer. She took a deep breath before opening the lid on the garbage can and was instantly stunned when she spotted the cake inside. Lucas had just thrown it in and that was probably what caused the noise.
"He probably went to buy this cake just now," she thought. "If it wasn't for this, he might have been back much earlier." Feeling her face burning, she took the cake out of the garbage can. Though the cake was misshapen, the box was not destroyed so the cake was still edible.
Her heart melted at the sight of the cake, and she took it back into the house, closing the door behind her.
Lucas had already returned to his et room and though she desperately wanted to speak to him, she knew that he was only going to ignore her as he was furious at the moment. She placed the cake on the table and opened the box before starting to eat. The cake tasted amazingly sweet, but she could not help feeling upset, and tears began to roll down her face.
