By the time he left the Osborne Family's mansion, it was already 10 p.m.
Irene Clarins had already gone to bed, and Anna Ainsworth went to the shoe cabinet to change her shoes and get ready to return when Connor Osborne hurriedly ran down from upstairs.
"Anna, can you stay?" Connor, followed by Snowy, saw her and immediately circled around her feet, biting at the leg of her trouser and whimpering.
Anna bent down, picked up Snowy, and looked at Connor, "I have work tomorrow, and given our current relationship, it's not appropriate for me to stay at your house."
"But... grandmother wants you to come back and live here," Connor, having no other choice to make her stay, had to resort to mentioning his grandmother.
"This isn't my home," Anna stated plainly, then added, "I've been coming over to keep grandmother company after work recently, but I definitely won't stay overnight."
