“Lianca, how did you find my room?”

“Orson, don’t ask that question. Just let me in first.”

Hearing the other party say that, Orson reluctantly stepped aside, and then Lianca walked into Orson’s room.

Looking at her slightly flushed face, and the faint, almost imperceptible smell of alcohol on her, Orson didn’t need to think twice to know that Lianca had probably been drinking.

“Lianca, did you drink tonight?”

“Mm, a noble gathering, I had a little to drink, but it’s alright. I’m very clear-headed now,” Saying this, Lianca sat on the sofa in Orson’s room, turned her head, and looked at Orson.

“Orson, close the door.”

“Mm,” Orson nodded, and closed the door.

“Oh, right,” Orson remembered at this moment. “Lianca, is Olivia not with you?”

“Sister said she wasn’t feeling well, so she didn’t go to the gathering,” Lianca shook her head.

“Then why didn’t you just go back to your sister’s room? Why did you come here instead?”

“I...” Lianca was startled upon hearing this, then spoke, “There are some things I wanted to ask you, Orson.”

“Then just say it here,” Orson looked at Lianca’s state and shook his head internally.

This little girl was good in every way, but her mind seemed a little slow.

He was already prepared. If Lianca was just here to act drunk or say strange things, he would immediately go upstairs and call Olivia.

“Orson, come here.”

Lianca said this, patting the table beside her, gesturing for Orson to sit opposite her.

Orson did as he was told.

“Here, Orson, do you dislike Sister?”

“Huh?” Orson was startled upon hearing this. “Why would you say that?”

He hadn’t noticed it at the door just now, but at this moment, with Lianca sitting opposite him, Orson felt it.

“I feel like Sister has been very unhappy for a while at home. When I asked, Sister also said she was fine.”

“Sister clearly used to hide nothing from me, so I suspected it was because of you, Orson...”

Saying this, Lianca looked at Orson.

“Is it because you made Sister angry, Orson?”

Orson felt a wave of self-reproach upon hearing Lianca say this.

Olivia was clearly dedicated to being a good supportive wife, always silently supporting him, and basically never prying into his private affairs.

“It is indeed so,” Lianca saw that Orson didn’t answer immediately and knew that her guess was mostly correct.

“When you were talking alone with Sister, did you properly resolve that matter?”

“I guess... sort of.”

“...” Lianca stared at Orson’s eyes for a long time, then sighed.

“I hope you didn’t lie to me.” After saying this, Lianca stood up.

“Orson, if you had to choose between me and Sister now, which one would you choose?”

“Olivia,” Orson’s answer this time was without hesitation.

“Then why did you make Sister unhappy?” She said this, coming to Orson’s side.

“Here, Orson, is it that Sister alone makes you feel a little unsatisfied?”

Before Lianca could finish speaking, Orson directly grabbed the back of Lianca’s collar and lifted her up.

“You’ve had too much to drink,” he said coldly, then carried Lianca out of the room, took her upstairs, and knocked on Olivia’s door.

“Hmm?” Olivia looked at Orson, and at Lianca, who was struggling in his arms, and was startled.

“Orson, let go of me! I told you I’m not drunk!” Lianca flailed her small hands, trying to break free from Orson, but it was futile.

At this moment, Lianca heard Olivia’s voice.

“Lianca? Why did Orson bring you back?” Her tone carried a hint of confusion, but Lianca could clearly hear a hint of anger within it.

“Um... Sister... I...” Lianca wilted completely upon seeing Olivia.

“Lianca drank too much at the noble gathering tonight, and then came to my door knocking.”

“A noble gathering?” Olivia heard this and was startled, then her face immediately darkened.

“Lianca, didn’t you tell Sister that you wanted to go out and read alone today? You went to a bar?”

Then, she directly took Lianca from Orson’s arms.

“Apologies, Orson. I didn’t discipline Lianca well myself. It’s so late, and I let her disturb you. I am truly sorry...” She said this, while glaring fiercely at Lianca.

“It’s alright, it’s alright,” Orson quickly waved his hand.

“By the way, Lianca didn’t say anything strange to you, did she?”

“Strange things?” Orson heard this and was startled, then shook his head. “No, nothing like that. I mainly brought her up quickly because I saw Lianca was drunk.”

Speaking of strange things, Lianca had indeed said some, but considering that they would meet again in the future, and that if Olivia heard this, it might damage the relationship between the sisters, Orson did not say anything.

But Lianca was truly... She clearly seemed to dislike him so much, yet when she was drunk, she chose to run to him.

Was it because she felt that he didn’t like her either, so he wouldn’t act against her?

Afterward, Orson exchanged a few more pleasantries with Olivia and then left, leaving the remaining time to the two sisters.

...

Inside the room, Olivia and Lianca sat opposite each other.

“Lianca, what did you say to Orson?”

“I... I don’t quite remember, but it shouldn’t have been anything too outrageous, right?” Lianca shivered, trying to bluff her way through.

“Lianca, you haven’t lied to Sister,” Olivia still used that incredibly unfair line of questioning that only worked on Lianca.

As expected, Lianca’s eyes immediately wavered upon hearing this sentence.

“I... I’m sorry, Sister. I wanted to make you happy, so I went and asked Orson if he really liked you...”

“After all, after all, for a while there, you were always shutting yourself alone in your room and wouldn’t come out to see me and Father. Both of us were very worried about you...”

Hearing Lianca say this, Olivia managed a slight smile, then hugged her.

“Lianca, you fool. Even if you were going to ask, it should have been me, Sister, who asked personally. You acting on your own and helping me will only make Orson think I am a hypocritical person. Wouldn’t this have the opposite effect?” Saying this, Olivia gently stroked Lianca’s hair.

“Don’t worry. Sister was just quietly contemplating some things during that time. See? Sister has figured things out now~”

Olivia was right. During that time, she had indeed been feeling down for a while due to various suspicions, but now she had truly figured things out.

She had figured out how to treat Orson.
