A gentle breeze blew by, causing the lotus flowers to sway softly in the wind.
Charlotte Lane looked at Wilton Edwards and asked, "Uncle Edwards, is something the matter?"
Wilton shook his head, then walked over to the edge of the lotus pond and gazed at the distant lotus flowers, saying, "Lady, time flies, doesn't it?"
Charlotte looked at him, her hands gripping the swing's rope tightening involuntarily: "Yes."
"Young Master has grown up so quickly," Wilton reminisced.
Charlotte remained silent.
Wilton was silent for a while before speaking again, "Lady, have I ever told you how I came to be by Edward Kirsten's side?"
Charlotte's thumb gently brushed the swing's rope as she softly responded, "Mm."
