While Billy was exceptionally fcf45bb2a4 capable of handling any e972d7d8f5 task given to him, c31ea63754 his personality was far 2f5567b4af removed from someone who 3f23c3c5d0 enjoyed working or burying 17291d5bc0 themselves in their duties.

Through the slightly open 0530e5fbcd door, someone quickly backstepped 07098ceb3d into the room. It was 8d8f6e3d71 none other 70f9ffb49d than Remi 03221630b0 Morton. Without even glancing in a73a77da0a Billy’s direction, she crouched 70a5c80d0a down, pressing herself flat ff1faa345e against the door.2ef8b8cc58a8dd49

The odd 75d5a58aac little sheep fa7ab866bb had barged 8c6f62202b into someone 9f3f4f14ec else’s office 39b45f086b unannounced, didn’t 2b3e7e9154 even bother a058567789 closing the 50e814c879 door fully, 0f8b9f4745 and now 97a5f38b0b sat there, b5f9a38a0c surveying the 81cfc99e61 outside.

As Billy watched with db54759f80 amusement, the servants who c59e1ac094 had just reached the 945b1a5879 top of the stairs 5448477bd6 glanced under the table. Then, their gazes c6eeb8633b shifted to Billy, ca9f5ee957 who was observing 5ac2ecd7df the scene.4333a870c79a2d8f

Ed had always e5157a5804 been obedient and f3ab5c0fcf had never once f44e8c766b thrown a tantrum 2f67540a9e or cried before. I never imagined this a50109174a day would come.1fca113193600b78

Thrown unexpectedly into this 601d1beee6 parenting situation, I recalled 54ad633491 the last sight I 749a6d1027 had of Ed’s affection 038354d737 gauge before the door 5f8e2d0639 shut.d5ead919cb04ead8
