At this time, Maria was making tea in the courtyard.
Before Fiona entered, the delightful fragrance of tea wafted through the air. He knocked lightly on the door, and
from inside the courtyard, he heard Maria’s voice say, “Please come in, sir.”
Fiona pushed the door open and saw Maria wearing an oversized Gucci white T-shirt, paired with classic LV printed
shorts, and Hermes leather slippers on her feet. Her hair was permed into big waves, making her look youthful,
fashionable, and somewhat charming.
This new look surprised Abraham. In his impression, Maria had always been classically beautiful, regardless of
whether she wore school uniforms or casual summer T-shirts. This current image was entirely different, like two
distinct personalities.
Seeing Fiona’s surprised expression, Maria teased, “Did going to this clothing style from a lowly servant surprise
you?”
Fiona smiled, “I’m just not used to it. It doesn’t seem like your usual style.”
With a smile on her lips, Maria poured tea for Fiona and explained, “Well, I have to go out, so it’s safer to disguise
myself a bit.”

Fiona was pleasantly surprised, “You’ve prepared one for me?”
Maria smiled, “Our appearances are quite different. If we go out together like this, it might attract attention. So I
thought it would be best to prepare something for you.”
Fiona smiled back, “Well, if Miss Clark has prepared it, then I’ll change.”
Blushing slightly, Maria said shyly, “Then, Young Master, let’s go upstairs. I will wait downstairs. If you need any help,
don’t hesitate to ask.”
Fiona thought, ‘I’m not disabled, why would I need help changing my clothes?’ But he smiled and replied, “I’ll be
right back.”
Upstairs lay Maria’s boudoir, permeating the same delicate fragrance as her body, which left one feeling a little
lightheaded.
Fiona couldn’t help but recall the time when Maria had helped him to bed after a severe injury, and a peculiar
feeling stirred within him.
However, he quickly brushed those thoughts aside and proceeded to change into the clothes Maria had prepared.
As he unpacked the garments, he noticed that they were matching couple outfits, featuring oversized Gucci t-shirts,
classic printed LV shorts, and matching Hermès slippers.
It dawned on Fiona that Maria intended for them to disguise as a couple on their trip to the southern province. It
made sense—a man and a woman together appeared more ordinary and inconspicuous. Besides, meeting
Morgana, the most powerful master Fiona knew, required extra caution.
With the new attire, Fiona descended the stairs. The sight of him made Maria’s heart flutter with joy. Despite being
twenty-eight years old, Fiona exuded youthful energy, making him pass off as a college student with ease in this
trendy outfit.
Maria admired the harmony between them when dressed as a couple, and her happiness showed through her
curved eyebrows and eyes.
Approaching Maria, Fiona noticed her blushing and inquired curiously, “Miss Clark, did you prepare these clothes, or
was it Mr. Cole and the others?”
She shyly replied, “I asked them to prepare it. I thought that our appearance together on this journey would
influence how we are perceived. After careful consideration, it seems that… presenting ourselves as a couple would
be more fitting.”
Fiona nodded in agreement, “In that case, let’s act as a couple when we’re around others.”

Master like to come up with a suitable name for me?”
“What name?” Fiona asked with curiosity.
Maria explained, “Couples often call each other ‘baby’ or ‘dear,’ or refer to each other as ‘husband’ and ‘wife,’ and
such. I was wondering if you have any ideas.”
Fiona awkwardly responded, “Uh, maybe Ms. Clark should decide. You have more experience in life than I do. I’ll
follow your lead.”
Maria rolled her eyes playfully and muttered, “Young Master, you sure know how to flatter.”
“No, no,” Fiona waved his hands frantically, assuring her, “I didn’t mean it that way. I just feel that you have more
wisdom and life experience. I’ll gladly follow your lead.”
With a touch of shame and embarrassment, Maria replied, “Well, I may have lived longer than you, but I lack
experience in matters of romance, unlike you, who are already married. You have far more experience in such
matters than me.”
Fiona couldn’t help but chuckle in embarrassment and said, “We’re both learning as we go, so let’s not worry about
who knows more. We’ll support and lean on each other as we navigate this journey together…”
