The aunt coming back from buying groceries caught her before she could sneak out.
"Hey, Miss Lynch is back?"
"Why are you staying outside? It's so hot. Come in, come in."
"..."
Thea Lynch stepped back a few paces, "I'm heading to the Cheney Family's place for some urgent work. I'll be back later."
Hearing that she had work to do, the aunt didn't try to stop her. Thea, in her heels, hurried off to the Cheney Family's place. By the time her aunt heard the commotion and came out, only the aunt with the groceries was left at the door.
"Was it Thea? I heard her talking just now, where is she?"
"Miss Lynch said she had urgent work and went to find the young master of the Cheney Family."

Recently, Mr. Cheney's health hasn't been good, so Silas Cheney has been spending most of his time here. With Mr. Cheney resting, Thea and Silas were having tea in the living room.
