When they arrived at the Jarvis estate, Old Wade was already waiting for them at the main gate.
"Old Mr. Wade!" Estelle walked over briskly. "I'm back!"
"Ah, wonderful!" Old Wade beamed at Estelle, his eyes filled with joy and delight.
Jonathan walked up, greeted Old Wade, and they went inside together.

Estelle had a feeling that after meeting Evelyn, Gia had be more invested in the test, as if she were eager to sever all ties
with her.
It seemed the rift between them was indeed deep.
"In that case," Old Mr. Jarvis began slowly, "we should all go over tomorrow as well. This is a major event for the Quintin family; we
should be there."
Gabriel, who was also keen to know the result, added, "Then we'll go to J City with Estelle and Jonathan tomorrow."
"Good," Old Mr. Jarvis nodded.
And so the matter was settled for the tbeing.
After the meal, just like old times, Jonathan and Gabriel chatted while Estelle joined Old Mr. Quintin by the pond for sfishing
and a gof chess.

"Of course you can! We should keep the good traditions and get rid of the outdated ones," Old Mr. Jarvis laughed. "lI was planning
on having you eat the fish | catch for dinner tonight!"
