Inside the carriage, Vivian marveled at her surroundings. It was her first time riding in one.

Although some modern tourist attractions offered carriage rides, this experience felt entirely different.

The carriage was incredibly well-equipped for its size. She could even have lemon tea inside.

The seat cushions were made from soft and warm animal fur, adding comfort.

"For me, it's been only a month or two, but it's been more than two years for you? No wonder you're so different now," Vivian said, still in a bit of awe.

At first, there had been a sense of unfamiliarity. But after they briefly explained their situations to each other, that familiar feeling returned.

Upon hearing Vivian's explanation, Manfred felt the self-doubt and insecurity that had been lingering in his heart vanish. She hadn't avoided him because of disdain.

It turned out that while two years had passed for him, it had only been one or two months for her, and she never gave up on coming to find him.

A smile spread across Manfred's face as he asked, "Have I gotten ugly?"

Vivian immediately shook her head. "No, you've only gotten more handsome!" He truly looked as if he could compare to Joe in looks.

Manfred's eyes sparkled with more than just a smile. "You haven't changed at all."

She was still the same as she had been over two years ago. It was as if, with just her presence, she could effortlessly make him happy.

Vivian pulled back the curtain and looked outside. The streets were bustling with crowds.

She suddenly felt the urge to get out and walk around.

The streets gave her a sense of familiarity, as though Joe and Skylar had left their mark on this place.

"Can we get down and walk for a bit?"

Manfred had wanted nothing more than to spend time alone with Vivian. Every time she stayed, it felt too short, and he feared that

everything before him might bel.no

nothing more than a fleeting dream. Still, he wanted her to enjoy herself.

"Alright."

He signaled for the carriage to stop, then immediately helped Vivian_ down. The coachman, Baz Obrien, and Kemp, who had been watching from the side, were both stunned.

They couldn't see Vivian, but they saw Manfred helping someone down. He then turned to them and said, "You two can head to the Atkinson residence."

Kemp and Baz exchanged puzzled glances. They opened their mouths, wanting to clarify something, but felt it was inappropriate to speak openly in public.

They both had the same thought. Manfred seemed a bit off.

Manfred kept glancing at a space beside him, wearing a smile they hadn't seen before. Occasionally, it looked like he was speaking to someone, though they couldn't hear what was being said.

They couldn't help but feel something was off about Manfred.

After a brief pause, Kemp turned to Baz. "You head back first. I'll take care of a few things here."

"Understood," Baz replied.

Kemp then turned and headed back to see Glen.

Meanwhile, Manfred and Vivian leisurely strolled through the streets after getting off the carriage.

Everything Vivian saw filled her with wonder. Her only experiences of the past had come from films, television, books, and old paintings.

Now, she was living it firsthand, truly witnessing how people from ancient times lived—a completely new and fascinating experience.

It was the most authentic display of life and bustling streets she had ever seen.

As they walked, Vivian kept glancing at the storefronts, searching for any familiar traces left behind by her parents.
