Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 463

Upon seeing her enter, Charles felt that if he did not go in, he was not manly enough. After taking a deep breath, he shivered and followed Sonia into the old manor. As the old manor had not been inhabited for a long time, it was completely covered with cobwebs and dust while looking exactly like a haunted mansion in movies. Thus, it was no wonder that he had wondered about ghosts.

It was after Sonia wiped a handful of dust off the table that she thought of something.

"Baby." His voice sounded behind her.

She patted the dust off her hands, then asked, "What's wrong?"

"Where are your grandfather's notes?" He was holding a broom that he found from somewhere and waved it while asking.

While pointing in the direction of the study, she answered, "It's over there, but it's way too dirty here. Let's clean this place up first before searching for the notes later."

"Yeah, we should do some cleaning; otherwise, there's no way to stay here tonight." Charles nodded in agreement.

Thus, Sonia opened her suitcase and took out from it a few towels that she brought. "Let's get started then."

"Okay, you wipe the tables and chairs while I’ll remove the cobwebs and sweep the floor," he said as he stopped waving the broom.

"Sounds like a plan," she concurred. "I'll go to the well to get some water."

Upon saying that, she took the towel and went to the backyard where there was an old well full of water all year round.

Soon, the two began to work for hours on end; it wasn’t until 4:00PM that they were done with cleaning the large place. They were now bone-tired and lay on the

respective benches to rest.

Charles gasped, "Baby, t-this is the first time I’ve done so much cleaning in my life. I’m exhausted."

"Sorry Charles. You did well, so I will make some delicious treats for you later." Sonia was also drained and couldn’t stop panting.

He nodded as his eyes brightened. "Okay. I want to eat fish, though. Is there any fish here?"

"Yes." She sat up straight and rubbed her sore back. "There is a village nearby, and there’s also fish at the village head's house. A few years ago, I even went to buy some from there, so I’ll just head there later to buy it."

"That would be great." He happily clapped his hands.

Then, Sonia stood up. "Charles, why don’t you make the bed first? I’ll head to Grandpa's study to look for the notes."

"Sure." Charles looked at the room she pointed at. It seemed that tonight, he would stay in that room. "So, baby, which room will you sleep in?"

He turned to look at her and offered, "I'll make your bed as well."

As she thought his offer sounded alright, she pointed to the room opposite his. "That's the one. That's the room I used to sleep in."

"Okay then." Charles clapped his hands before he carried his suitcase over.
