Sumr Fairmont had no reaction to Artie Vaughn revealing her whereabouts to everyone.
Artie loved to talk, and even if Sumr heard it, she remained detached, as if it was none of her business.
She just wasn’t used to talking about it with others; it didn’t an she thought it was so big secret.
"I’m leaving." After tidying up the kitchen and putting all the dishes into the dishwasher, Sumr greeted Artie and headed straight out.
Sumr saw through Artie’s little sches better than anyone.
The guy Artie liked now was soone she had specifically returned ho to help her win over.
Although Sumr didn’t like the way Sean Lowell looked at her, after drinking 96-degree Water of Life, Sumr almost forgot about that uncomfortable feeling.
With Artie’s family background and figure, the worst that could happen when she liked soone was being deceived out of money or love.
This ti, the guy Artie liked showed no signs of money or love deception when Sumr scrutinized him with her perceptive gaze.
Even though the car accident instigator would make Sumr feel inexplicably uneasy when talking about his sister and his past.
But if Artie liked the person.
As long as Artie didn’t feel uncomfortable while being with him, it was okay.
That’s also why, when Sumr found out Sean Lowell had gone to Islay, she imdiately took a photo and sent it to Artie.
Now that they had t, Sumr believed she could step back.
"Ah, Sumr, wait a mont." Artie tightly embraced Sumr’s arm, turned to Leo Vaughn, and said, "Ah, brother, Sumr is leaving now. Can you help escort her? The old castle where the Brunschwig Distillery is located is as dilapidated as the haunted house I visited when I was little. Sumr would definitely be scared."
Cupid’s efforts were comndable.
She had already managed to bring Master Sean Lowell to Islay; getting a romantic partner shouldn’t take long.
She must solve her brother’s personal issues while getting herself a partner.
As a sister, she couldn’t enjoy alone.
"Not scared." Sumr withdrew her arm.
She wasn’t Artie; even if it were a real haunted house, Sumr wouldn’t need an escort, let alone a place like Brunschwig Distillery she had visited just yesterday, which was far from a real haunted house.
"Sumr, are you going to the Brunschwig Distillery? Gordon Sterling and I can take you."
Another car accident scene.
Usually quiet in crowds, Sean Lowell talked so much today that he hardly seed like The Jilted who avoided worldly matters.
Sumr glanced at Sean Lowell, said nothing, but her rejection was evident.
Even though she didn’t mind Artie revealing her upcoming whereabouts, she didn’t feel the need to explain to Sean where she wanted, or didn’t want, to go.
There was no way she’d let Sean and Gordon take her there.
Why not just be a proper tourist?
Soone unfamiliar would take her back to the Brunschwig Distillery?
This logic was truly bizarre.
The awkwardness of the scene was off the charts.
Going back to the Brunschwig Distillery wouldn’t be a pleasant experience for Sumr.
Just the day before, she had a breakdown in the distillery, drinking whiskey all night to calm down a bit.
Sumr had decided to go back and tidy up, to see if she had left anything behind at the distillery.
Docunts like wills and legal files, Sumr planned to pack them up and return to the lawyer who had previously co over to let her inherit Hieronymus’ estate.
"Return" precisely expressed Sumr’s truest feelings at the mont.
She never felt that what Hieronymus left behind should be hers.
Besides, inheriting a will required paying a hefty inheritance tax, which she couldn’t possibly gather in six months.
Rather than bearing the shackles of the entire Brunschwig family, Sumr preferred to exercise her right to renounce the inheritance.
Sumr didn’t want any ties to her unbearable childhood that she never wanted to rember.
Sumr ignored Sean Lowell’s suggestion, walking straight to the hall entrance to change her shoes.
She had already refused Artie’s suggestion for Leo to take her back, so how could she accept Sean’s and Gordon’s "escort"?
Anyone with even a little sense wouldn’t pursue her after Sumr’s clearly dismissive look.
