Chapter 4140
Hugging the girl, Winona asked, “How have you been, Heidi?”
“I’ve been quite well, Aunt Winona. If it weren’t for my father telling me about your return, I wouldn’t even have known you were back. He’s truly a scoundrel. How could he have arranged for you to stay in such a place? I must confront him about this later!” Heidi huffed after taking a glance at the surroundings.
“Your father had his reasons. Besides, hadn’t he already asked you to arrange some other place for me?” Winona coaxed.
“That’s true. I’ve kept your courtyard house just as it was and have been sending someone to clean it. I’ll take you there right now, Aunt Winona!” Heidi said, nodding in affirmation.
“Hold on. I still have a few friends. Bring them along, too!”
After Winona had said that, she called Catina and Feenix out. Following that, Jared and Viola also stepped out of their room.
Seeing such a crowd, Heidi appeared somewhat shy.
“Ms. Flowers, this is my niece, Heidi Zeever,” Winona said to Catina, making the introductions.
Then, Winona turned to Heidi and explained, “Heidi, I’d been living in Imperial Fox City all these years, and it was all thanks to Ms. Flowers for taking me in.”
“I’m Heidi Zeever. Thank you for taking my aunt in,” Heidi said to Catina politely.
“I’m Catina Flowers. Truth be told, it’d been Winona who had been taking care of me over the years,” Catina admitted in slight embarrassment.
All these years, it had been Winona who took care of me!
“All right, come with me. Every visitor is an esteemed guest, so it was bad manners on the Zeever family’s part to have had you all stay in such a place,” Heidi murmured guiltily.
Judging from her refined and gracious demeanor, she was true to the daughter of a great family.
Heidi led Jared and the others to a luxurious courtyard house that was decorated extravagantly.
That truly embodied the air of a great family.
“Aunt Winona, you all should rest first. Father is hosting a family banquet tonight to welcome you,” Heidi said unhurriedly after leading Winona and the others to the courtyard house.
“Heidi, go ahead and get busy. You’ve got Alchemist Fair coming up in a few days, so you need to give it your all!” Winona urged, looking at Heidi affectionately.
Heidi gave a nod. Just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly hollered from outside, “Heidi! Heidi…”
Upon hearing the cries, Heidi hurriedly rushed out.
Winona and the others went after her.
“Forden, what’s wrong?” Heidi asked upon seeing the newcomer.
“Heidi, a notice has been posted outside that this year’s Alchemist Fair is going to be held on Medicine God Island. Moreover, not all alchemists can attend. There’s an assessment they need to pass,” Forden exclaimed anxiously.
“For real?” Heidi was rather taken aback.
When Forden caught sight of Winona and the others, he paused slightly and asked, “Heidi, who are these people?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Oh, let me make the introductions, Forden. This is my aunt. The rest are her friends. They also came to attend the Alchemist Fair.”
Heidi quickly made the introductions.
Hearing that, Forden hastily bowed and said, “Nice to meet you, Aunt Winona. I’m Forden Zorn.”
“Heidi, who is this young man?” Winona asked as she studied Forden.
“Aunt Winona, this is the fourth child of the Zorn family in Yannopolis, known as Forden Zorn. We got engaged a while back,” Heidi replied.
“Oh, so, he’s Waylon Zorn’s son. I didn’t expect him to also name his son so casually,” Winona commented with a chuckle upon hearing that.
At that, Forden could only smile sheepishly. After all, she was an elder and seemed to be very much familiar with his father. Despite her remark, he didn’t dare to say anything in rebuttal since he was younger.
“Do you have older brothers named Oneden, Twoden, and Trioden?” Feenix teased.
“Show some respect, Feenix!” Jared hurriedly admonished her following that.
After all, it was rude to say such a thing to someone she was not familiar with.
