It was indeed night by the time they reached the village.
The carriage stopped and Cooper first got down from the carriage. He helped his wife in getting down who then helped Evelyn.
Cooper went to pay the coach and Gianna and Evelyn were waiting for him.
Evelyn looked at the people who were passing by.
After Cooper returned, they started to walk toward their home. But on the way, many people who were returning from their work looked at Gianna and Cooper with curiosity because they saw a young girl with them.
But they didn't pry much.
However, not everyone was the same.
A woman still stopped Gianna and asked
"Gianna, who is this girl?"
Gianna was silent for a moment before she answered.
"This is the girl I have chosen for my son."
Gianna knew that she would not be able to hide for long from the village people so it was better to be truthful from the start.
