Chapter 260 Revisiting Prunella’s Room
Isolde suddenly felt an urge to go through Prunella’s belongings.
Finished
She knew that after Prunella got married, her room had been unoccupied, While the important items had been
packed away, the less significant ones were still left in the room.
She wondered if those things could reveal what her mother had been thinking before she married.
Oliver seemed to read her thoughts. He looked at her and said, “Let's go. Let’s visit your mother’s room.”
The two were in perfect agreement.
They sneaked out quietly, Oliver naturally holding her hand as they walked, his smile stretching from ear to ear,
radiating pure joy.
The room where Prunella had lived before her marriage had remained empty. After she married, she occasionally
returned to her family but never stayed in that room. Instead, she chose another room. There was a reason for
this, though no one knew exactly what it was.
Isolde guessed that her mother might have wanted to preserve the innocence of her pre-married self.
The courtyard was overgrown with vines that clung to the walls. A few roses bloomed extravagantly in the
corners. Aside from the vines, the other plants in the courtyard were well-maintained. Chrysanthemums
flourished in one corner, their fragrance filling the air.
The courtyard hadn't been maintained for a long time. The paint had faded, and the sunlight filtering through the
yellowing leaves cast dappled shadows, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
There was no one in the courtyard. Moss had begun to grow on the bluestone path. Isolde held Oliver's hand as
they walked along the path. She could almost see a young woman walking lightly ahead of them.
That person was no longer around, but she had once lived vividly in this courtyard.
Perhaps she wore a green dress or a red satin skirt, her embroidered shoes adorned with pearls that pecked. out
from under her hem as she walked.
Perhaps she laughed among the flowers, gazed at the sky from the corridor, or even climbed onto the glazed tile
roof to sit and look out at the distant lake.
Her laughter might have been like silver bells. She might have rested her hands behind her head, gazing at the
sky, her heart touched by a fleeting melancholy of youth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had loved someone, and there were people she didn’t like, but hatred had never existed in her young heart.
Back then, she didn’t know what fate had in store for her. She was confident, believing that life would go on as
she had imagined, that she would grow old hand in hand with the person she loved
However, it was hard to predict what would happen tomorrow, let alone the future.
As Isolde walked through the courtyard, these thoughts inexplicably flooded her mind.
And she was certain that these had been her mother’s thoughts back then.

There was once a beautiful girl living here.
Passing through the main room, they entered the bedroom.
A large desk stood by the south window, covered with books that had been eaten by insects. Isolde walked over
and wiped the surface with her hand. The dust was thick, indicating that the cleaners likely hadn't entered this
area.
Yes, to the servants, this was not the young lady’s room, but the room of a dead person.
Who knew if the spirit of the deceased might return to guard this place?
The desk had drawers. Isolde opened them and found them neatly organized, filled with letters and two poetry
books.
She picked up the letters and glanced through them. They weren't all from the sperson. There was a thick
stack from the man Prunella had loved.
As for the other scattered letters, she checked the signatures and was surprised to find that they were from
Doug, Pablo, and even Douglas Valois.
Oliver felt a bit awkward and turned away, pretending not to see.
Douglas, Pablo, Doug, and Geoffrey-these four had all been trusted subordinates of Garrett 1 back then. It was
natural that they had developed feelings for Prunella.
Back then, Douglas hadn't married yet, but later, his marriage was a happy one, and his wife was deeply
devoted to him.
Everyone had their own destiny.
Geoffrey finally got Prunella, but he made Prunella leave with hatred.
Did Prunella hate him before she died? Isolde thought.
Perhaps not. Prunella was a strong and independent woman. She would only blherself for not being cautious
enough. At that time, Geoffrey was on the battlefield, and she was likely more concerned about how the war was
going and whether he would return victorious.
e letters
Isolde did not say anything. She quietly sat in the chair Prunella had once used, readin exchanged between the
two. These were letters from before Prunella’s marriage, filled with affection and tenderness, their love evident in
every word.
From the letters, she could almost see a young girl waiting eagerly and a young man striving hard to achieve
military merits, hoping to earn the right to marry her.
“Why are her letters here too? Shouldn't they have been sent to your father?” Oliver asked curiously.

However, in Prunella’s reply, she was almost overjoyed. She used many excited words, repeatedly praising his
bravery. She was happier than anyone else.
In all the letters, Isolde found that Prunella had never encouraged him.
She only said that she would always wait for him.
She was even afraid that a single word of encouragement might put pressure on him.
She truly loved him deeply.
What did she see in him?

Perhaps, Prunella felt that this was a down-to-earth person. She only wanted to find someone steady to live a
stable life with. She never expected him to achieve great things.
After reading the letters, she found many portraits-sof her mother and sof him.
Prunella’s portraits were probably drawn by a professional artist. The style was very stiff and formal.
As for his portraits, the signatures at the bottom read “Prunella.”
Perhaps her mother had drawn these when she missed him.
In the paintings, he was a handsyoung man, graceful and gentle, his features soft and delicate-quite
different from the man Isolde knew.
Since returning from the village, the father she had seen was always stern, with deep lines on his face, his brows
perpetually furrowed, serious and cold.
She hadn’t thought that he would have such a warm smile.
