Ugly Ducklings to Swans
After returning to the mansion, Ethan instructed the servants to have both children cleaned and dressed up properly and then see him in his room.
While both children were being prepared, Albert knocked on Ethan's door and then entered carrying a tray with tea and snacks. He walked in front of the chair and placed the tea and the snacks on the table beside the chair.
"Thank you. " Ethan said.
"It's only my job…" Albert shrugged with a smile.
Ethan nodded and then picked up a book that he had been interested in recently and got busy reading.
After some time passed, he realized that Albert hadn't left the room. Raising his head, Ethan asked, "Is there something?"
Albert hesitated as if he was struggling inwardly with whether to say it or not. In the end, he sighed and opened his mouth to speak.
