Chapter 5

Before he arrived, the driver called Jessica, “Ma’am, Mr. Ferguson went to the Mid-Autumn Gala as per the invite. He told me to drive you to the old manor first.”

Jessica tapped on the phone screen as a sign to express her acknowledgment. She then carried Winson in her arms. On the couch was the gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival which she had prepared for the elders in the family. Miss Susan helped her to take the gift down.

The driver stood beside the car, but when Jessica came out, he did not even welcome her or open the door for her. Miss Susan glared at him before she put the gift in the car.

The driver was a veteran driver for the Fergusons, and he was good at choosing sides. He knew that Jessica barely had any power in the family. Although he might call her ‘Madam’, he never treated her as Mrs. Ferguson.

Jessica never liked to cause trouble, so she tended to be less calculative.

The driver started the car and reached the old Fergusons’ manor in 20 minutes.

Jessica got out of the car. The servants from the manor came out to welcome the young master while she brought the gift in.

The Ferguson family was huge. Every festive season, there was no lack of people visiting the manor, including their extended relatives. However, ever since Old Master Ferguson fell ill and had to rest, the family stopped guests from visiting.

Due to that reason, the upper-class socialites and businessmen had been asking the Fergusons out for gatherings or dinner since they could not visit.

The large Ferguson manor felt extremely empty without the cherry crowd. The garden was blanketed with flowers, and the trees were lush, yet it felt a little lonely because of the lack of human presence.

After shuttling through the front garden, Jessica reached the manor. In the living room, only Robert and his wife were there. Despite being a respectable family in Beijing, the manor was pitifully empty and quiet.

Lady Cecilia, Robert’s legitimate wife and Blake’s mother, was sitting on the couch while playing with her grandson.
