Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Before Mavis could give her answer, Joey passed away. Nicole continued staying in Prince Allen's mansion and refused to come home. So Harper asked the steward to tell Nicole the Joey's death and things that had happened in the mansion.

"Harper is a nice person," Casey said and took an orange peeled by her maid. "She actually sent someone to inform you of what happened in the mansion."

Nicole nodded. "She is a good girl."

"Oh, what kind of person is she?"

"She is clever and kind-hearted. Although people speak ill of her, her character is truly different from what the rumors say." Nicole caressed her lower abdomen. Recently, her flat abdomen had begun to swell slightly from all the nutritious food she had been eating. "If it weren't for her, I would have lost my baby."

"When are you going back then?" Casey was a bit concerned about Nicole. There was no telling what could happen with Nicole far away from her household. The quicker Nicole came back, the less chances anyone with evil thoughts could have.

"When my husband picks me up in person," Nicole said resolutely. "If he doesn't come and continues to feel sorry for his daughter, then I'll make his daughter's life a living hell."

Joey had passed away while Nicole was away from the Chu Clan mansion. As the appointed head of the household, Harper had to hold the funeral. After Joey was buried, Mavis finally showed up.

"Grandma." Harper took Alexandra with her to pay their respects to Mavis. The young boy was decked out in mourning clothes.

Mavis looked at Alexandra standing beside Harper and sighed, "Since he's a boy, his name doesn't suit

th kids around his age. But he really liked Harper.

"Harper."

"Don't cry, you are a man. You can bleed but can't cry. Remember that, little man." Harper wiped the tears on Alexander's face. "I'll give you pocket money every month. Don't worry about money. I'll find a suitable servant boy and send him to accompany you. You have no family to depend on there, so you should learn to take care of yourself. Don't just read books. Exercise your body to keep healthy, too. Understand?"

"Okay, Harper."

"Well, don't cry anymore. It's time to go." Harper pushed Alexander away and told him to go with the masked man. After a few steps, Alexander turned and ran back to Harper.

"Harper, wait for me. When I come back, I will protect you!" He was only eight years old but he already wanted to protect her. Harper wanted to laugh but she choked on her emotions. Tears started forming in her eyes, a sob trying to come out. She covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out. It was the first time that somebody vowed to protect her after he grew up. Although it came from a child, she was still deeply touched.

"I can protect myself. You just need to protect yourself." Harper turned away. "Just go now. It's snowing. It wouldn't be easy to walk later."

The masked man grabbed Alexander's arm, and the boy didn't fight his hold at all. "Harper, I will write to you. I'll miss you."

Standing in the corridor, Harper kept waving her hand. Even though they were nowhere to be seen, she didn't stop. Nina came out quietly and handed a handkerchief to Harper. "My Lady, Mister Alexander has left. It's cold. Please come in."
