Xander's mood had already eased considerably by the time he arrived home.
The moment he stepped inside the mansion, Butler Rupert greeted him respectfully.
"Welcome home, Master."
Xander gave the old man a polite nod, but his eyes instinctively wandered upstairs as though searching for someone.
Even he didn't seem to realize why.
Butler Rupert noticed immediately.
"Are you looking for Madam?" he asked knowingly after catching Xander glance toward the second floor again.
Since Leo was currently staying at the Old Emerson Residence, Butler Rupert highly doubted the young master was searching for anyone else.
Xander paused briefly before clearing his throat lightly.
"Hm."
The response came in the form of a low hum, neither confirming nor denying it.
Still, that alone was enough to make Butler Rupert smile.
"Madam is in her room," he informed him warmly.
Xander simply nodded once more before calmly heading upstairs.
