Chapter 425 Chapter 425 Susurrate

"Crystal, please make sure Tiffany gets this back. And perhaps convey my gratitude for the delightful conversation we had earlier," Nexus instructed.

Nora, realizing the importance of mending the strained relationship, took a step forward and expressed her genuine apology to Nexus. "Nexus, I want to apologize for my behavior earlier. It was inappropriate, and I'm sorry if it caused any discomfort."

Nexus, appreciating Nora's humility, nodded. "I appreciate your apology, Nora. Let's focus on moving forward positively."

Encouraged by Nexus's response, Nora saw an opportunity to make amends not just with Nexus but also with Tiffany. "Thank you, Nexus. If it's okay, I'd like to apologize to Tiffany as well. I don't want any animosity between us," she requested.

Nexus, recognizing Nora's genuine effort to rectify the situation, agreed. "Certainly, Nora. Crystal, please give the cloak to Nora. And Nora, take your time to make amends with Tiffany. I believe positive connections are important for everyone in the family," Nexus advised.

Crystal, carrying out Nexus's instructions, handed the cloak to Nora, who now felt a renewed sense of purpose. She nodded in gratitude and headed towards direction Tiffany left, determined to bridge the gap and foster a more harmonious atmosphere within the Russell family.

Nora approached Nexus with Tiffany's cloak in her hands, a visible sincerity in her eyes. "Nexus, I'm sorry for my earlier behavior. It was wrong, and I want to make things right."

Nexus, noting Nora's genuine remorse, responded calmly, "I appreciate your honesty, Nora. I'm not angry, but I just want to avoid unnecessary conflicts. That's why I prefer Crystal to return the cloak. Let's keep things peaceful."

Nora nodded, acknowledging Nexus's preference. "I understand, Nexus. "

The night air is cool as Tiffany steps into her awaiting carriage. The polished wood creaks slightly under her weight as she settles into the comfortable seat. Her maid, a young woman with a disapproving frown, joins her.

Enjoying the moment Mary continued, adding more fuel to the fire. "You know, my lady, Nexus is a man of high standing. He needs someone who can match his status. Someone like you, not a common girl like Nora."

Tiffany's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sighed. "Mary, that's enough. I appreciate your loyalty, but there's no need to degrade others. Nexus and I don't share a connection beyond societal expectations."

Mary chuckled mischievously, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Of course, my lady. True love knows no bounds, they say."

Tiffany, attempting to shift the conversation, asked Mary about her plans for the upcoming days. Mary, however, wasn't ready to let go of the topic.

"But, my lady, imagine the scandal if Nexus ends up with someone like Nora. It could tarnish your family's reputation. You're not just any lady; you're from the prestigious James family."

Tiffany, growing weary of the conversation, tried to steer it towards a more neutral territory. "Mary, let's not dwell on hypothetical scenarios. Relationships are complex, and we cannot control every aspect."

Suddenly, the maid exclaimed, and Tiffany couldn't help but stare at her for her forgetful look.

"What's the matter, Mary?" Tiffany asked, her curiosity piqued.

Mary's eyes widened with realization. "Oh, my lady, I forgot to remove your cloak from the Russells' residence! It's still hanging on the hanger by the door."

Tiffany's brows furrowed in mild frustration. The cloak was merely a piece of fabric why will her maid give such reaction; though it may symbolized her status and dignity. In the rigid social circles of Castra City, appearances mattered, and a lady's attire was a reflection of her family's standing but Tiffany doesn't care about that.

"How could I forget such a crucial thing?" Mary voice held a hint of irritation, but Tiffany quickly caution her with a sigh. "It's alright, Mary. We can always send someone to retrieve it tomorrow. No need to worry too much."

Mary, feeling guilty, stammered out an apology. "I'm sorry, my lady. I got carried away with our conversation, and I forgot about the cloak."

Tiffany nodded, understanding that Mary's distraction might have been fueled by the earlier encounter with Nora.
