"Just when I thought your estate was too much for one person, your grandmother's home had to be much larger," Alessandra stared in awe at the large home as they drove through the gates. "Does she live here alone or are there other relatives?"
"She is normally here alone. My grandmother wanted to have a big house so that when her family was in town they could all stay with her. She enjoys having the family all together even when it is drama and conflict. She is the only one able to silence all of us," Edgar said as he looked out the window. "I spent many days here when I was younger. Aside from Alfred, she has raised me."
"Seeing that you are willing to come to her, you must love her a lot. She has to be a strong woman to put up with you as a child. I already pity Alfred. Now there is someone else," Alessandra joked.
