Chapter 82

[Thronovaldera]

Gloria, Joshua, and Epseba had just finished making dinner and were setting the table when Epseba heard car sounds from outside.

He opened the curtains and saw Tornwell’s car pulling over. “He’s back,” he said cheerfully as he headed outside.

“Welcome back, Mr. Tornwell; we made dinner,” Epseba said to him with a smile.

“We?” he inquired.

“Gloria, Joshua, and myself,” Epseba replied.

“Oh, they came over. I remember them suggesting this but didn’t know if they’d actually come,” Tornwell said with a smile, patting and ruffling Epseba’s hair.

The four of them said grace, and they began to eat. “This is really amazing, Epseba… I’m proud of you all; at least I know that all my cooking skills won’t go to waste,” Tornwell said after taking a bite of his rice.

“How was the castle thingy?” Epseba asked excitedly.

“Good news is that, she wrote back.” Tornwell placed the letter on the table and slid it to him.
