After the feast concluded, everyone gathered in the living room. Yuan and his wives settled on a large sofa, while Madam Layla and Issac took another sofa facing them. James sat beside his father.
"So, Yuan. My wife mentioned that you'll be leaving for the capital tomorrow morning, and my daughters will be going with you?" Issac inquired, a hint of disappointment in his expression. He had just recovered from his illness, and now his daughters were set to depart.
"Sigh. You're right, Uncle Issac. We will be departing for the capital tomorrow. Our stay in this village has been prolonged, but we can't delay any further," Yuan responded, understanding the sentiment behind Issac's words.
