"The reason why I came to Landry Mansion so early is to find Luna, of course," replied Malcolm calmly despite having been thrown such a sharp question by Jim. "I haven't been feeling well these few days, and I only found out about what happened to Mrs. Landry this morning."
With that, he lifted his head to glance at Luna. "Luna has been so close with Mrs. Landry ever since she returned to the Landry family, and now that something like this has happened to her...I was worried that Luna would be upset, so I came here immediately to check on her."
Suddenly, his tone changed as he glanced at Luna and Jim. "However, as soon as I arrived, I realized that Luna wasn't home. I thought she had probably spent the night in the hospital, so I asked my servant to take me away."
With that, he sighed and shot Jim a somewhat displeased look. "That was what happened. Do you have any other questions, Master Landry?"
Jim sneered. "Is that really what happened?"
Malcolm chuckled and replied, "Well, what else could've happened? Are you suggesting that I slept over here last night?" "Had all of you been away the entire night? What are you yapping about so early in the morning?" Just as the three of them were disputing about this, Heather's voice rang out from behind them.
She came downstairs dressed in her pajamas, yawning at the same time.
When she caught sight of Malcolm, Heather paused and curled her lips into a smirk. "Have you come here so early to find Luna? What a faithful fiance you are, Master Quinn.”
With that, she plopped down on the sofa, picked up the bowl of fruit on the table, and started munching o n them. She glanced at the three of them standing next to the door and asked, "Luna, Jim, aren't you going to invite our guest into the house?"
"There's no need for that." Malcolm sneered and said contemptuously, "I came all the way to visit Luna so early in the morning, but they all thought I had spent the night here. I don't even dare to imagine the consequences if I were to overstay my welcome."
With that, he scoffed and ordered, "Let's go, Sam."
The servant named Sam quickly wheeled Malcolm away.
