Chapter 218 - Invitation Arrives

The western wing of the Morningstar Family Estate basked in the soft, golden glow of the afternoon sun. Rays streamed through the tall, arched windows, spilling light into the spacious living room and highlighting the rich velvet curtains as they shimmered against glistening gold accents. The air was gentle with the comforting scents of tea and sandalwood, wrapping the space in a warm and tranquil vibe — a serene ambiance that often hints at the unfolding of something important. Felix lounged casually on the central couch, at ease but radiating a sense of authority, with a teacup balanced lightly between his fingers. The atmosphere was calm, punctuated only by the delicate clinking of porcelain and the low hum of conversation. To his right, Gwendolyn sat as poised as ever, her posture straight and her gaze steady. Opposite her, Nixie sprawled lazily on another couch, her hands moving expressively as she bemoaned her "tragic" loneliness.
