Flossie headed to the kitchen to convey Edmund’s order to the servant.


    While the servant was preparing the soup, Flossie seized the moment to inquire about Edmund’s food preferences and life.


    She asked, “What does Mr.


    Hanson enjoy eating?”


    This marked the first instance of a guest visiting Edmund’s residence.


    Observing Edmund’s friendly demeanor toward Flossie, the servant willingly shared information about his culinary preferences.


    The servant remarked, “Mr.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Hanson isn’t particr about food; he leans toward lighter vors.


    ”


    Keeping that in mind, Flossie continued to ask, “Does Mr.


    Hanson have a busy work schedule? What are his daily work hours?”


    She was a little embarrassed to ask those questions, but since she had promised Edmund to ept him as her father slowly, she also wanted to know more about him and do something for him.


    The servant ced the soup on the tray and responded vaguely, “Mr.


    Hanson resides in Seamarsh for only one month annually; his presence here is infrequent.


    Our knowledge regarding his work is limited.


    ”


    Flossie found the response unexpected and felt a tinge of curiosity.


    Wasn’t this Edmund’s residence in Seamarsh? If he was seldom here, where did he reside?


    However, based on Benny’s information about Edmund’s predominantly overseas business, Flossie inferred that Edmund likely had a hectic schedule.


    This rationale seemed usible.


    Flossie posed several additional inquiries about Edmund, yet the servant consistently responded, “I’m not sure.


    ”


    Unable to obtain further information, Flossie chose not to press the servant further and exited the kitchen with the soup.


    Upon her return to the living room’s door, Flossie steadied the tray in her hand and proceeded to push the door open.


    She could hear the voices of Edmund and Benny emanating from inside.


    The tone in their voices carried a hint of seriousness, w


    hich seemed different from when they were in her presence.


    Furthermore, she caught a vague hint of their discussion about heavy weapons.


    Realizing that they were still in the midst of their conversation, she decided to wait outside for a while before entering the room.


    However, as she turned, she caught the mention of Matthew’s name.


    Flossie halted, her mind buzzing with thoughts.


    Just as she was about to continue eavesdropping, the servant’s voice interrupted her from behind.


    “Miss, would you like assistance in opening the door? Is it inconvenient for you?”


    The servant initially opposed Flossie bringing the soup alone, but Flossie insisted, leading to the servant’s concession.


    However, fearing Edmund’s possible reprimand, the servant decided to apany Flossie.


    Flossie felt a sudden surge of nervousness upon hearing the servant’s voice.


    Worried about being perceived as intentionally eavesdropping, she spoke up Louder, requesting assistance with a casual tone.


    “Could you lend me a hand?”
