Bonus Episode 2. Claude Del Ihar's Problem
Claude was glaring at the annex bustling with guests before he closed his eyes, massaging them in exhaustion. This birthday party was dragging on for far too long. He and Camellia had initially planned on having a simple, day-long party. However, Jasmine's love for her grandson, Wade's stubborn affection toward his godson, and Laura's imminent departure resulted in a longer celebration than he had anticipated.
Ensuring that the guests had all returned to their rooms, Claude walked down the hallway to the sunroom in the west wing. Ever since Lia had arrived, Del Casa and the Ihar Manor underwent marked changes. Though nothing was drastically transformed, it felt like the sunlight shone deeper and wider into the rooms and spaces of the house. Everything felt light and airy.
