Chapter 1384.
Whoo~
Accompanied by a loud whistle, the steam train stopped at the platform outside Frye Town. Ronan got off the train with Audrey, who helped carry the luggage, and walked out of the humble station with this beautiful young lady.
At this time a carriage drove over and stopped in front of the two people, the coachman dressed as a cowboy nimbly jumped down to the ground and respectfully saluted Audrey, “Miss.”
Audrey nodded, then smiled faintly at Luo Nan and said, “Do you need a ride?”
“Thanks, no need.”
Luo Nan handed the suitcase in his hand to the car driver and replied, “My house is very close.”
Audrey gave him a deep look, “Then, see you again sometime.”
“Farewell.”
Luo Nan watched the carriage disappear from sight.
He had a good chat with Audrey Norton on the way, and the latter had a good chat with Audrey Norton. The latter was beautiful and innocent, but also educated, and her words and mannerisms showed the qualities of a lady of the world.
Such an outstanding young lady can never be cultivated by an ordinary small noble family!
Moreover, she was also a Transcendent.
Of course, Luo Nan did not have much thoughts about Audrey Norton. Of course, Ronan didn’t have too many thoughts about Audrey Norton, he just felt that the other party was very suitable to be his leader into the transcendental world.
Originally, this role was best played by Abe Austin. Originally, this role would have been best played by Abe Austin, but the Night’s Watch captain had gone back to his hometown.
Ronan withdrew his gaze and carried his small suitcase in the direction of Raymond Manor.
Frye was a very prosperous town with a population of tens of thousands, and the land around it was very rich, producing a large amount of grain, wood, and meat to supply Rande City every year.
Raymond Manor was only two or three miles away from the town, so Luo Nan didn’t look for another means of transportation.
He traveled along the gravel-paved road, leaving the town behind.
On both sides of the road, many farmers were busy in the fields, and from time to time there were egrets flying over to forage for food, a charming summer field scenery.
In the distance, the mountains were rolling, and the forest was dense.
Not long after, a suburban manor with a white color as its main tone appeared in Luo Nan’s line of sight.
Raymond Manor, the home where the original body had lived for more than ten years!
At this moment, Luo Nan was able to feel a flutter from the deepest part of his divine soul.
It was a trace of the original body’s residual intent.
He subconsciously quickened his pace.
When he arrived at the entrance of the manor, an ox cart full of cow dung was passing by, and the white-haired old cart driver scrutinized Luo Nan with curious eyes.
Luo Nan smiled and greeted, “Grandpa Jim, long time no see.”
The other party was a hired farmer in the manor, and had served the Raymond family for generations.
“Young Master Luo Nan?”
Old Jim’s eyes widened in surprise, “Haven’t seen you for a few years, you’ve grown so big!”
Three years ago, the sixteen-year-old Luo Nan was sent to Rande City by Malcolm Raymond. Three years ago, sixteen-year-old Luo Nan was sent to a school in Rande City by Malcolm Raymond, and paid the tuition fee for three years in one go, breaking the father-son relationship between the two.
During that time, Ronan had been working and studying in the city and had never returned.
So this old hired farmer, who had worked for the Raymond family for his whole life, had not seen him for three years!
Old Jim was really very surprised.
Because the Luo Nan in his memory was thin and introverted, clumsy in speech, giving people the feeling of being very ordinary and common.
And now he saw Luo Nan, sunny and handsome, upright posture, temperament tough and mature.
He was like a different person from before!
Fortunately, Luo Nan’s facial features and appearance had not changed much, so Old Jim still recognized him and said indistinctly, “You’re here to attend Miss Jenny’s engagement ceremony, right?”
“Yes.”
Luo Nan laughed, “I’ll go in first, we’ll talk again sometime.”
Although Old Jim was an estate hired farmer, his status was not very low, as he was not only an expert in cultivating crops, but he was also good at feeding livestock, and possessed quite a high reputation among a group of hired farmers.
Not to mention a bastard like Ronan, even Malcolm. Even Baron Malcolm Raymond looked at old Jim with a different eye.
The old hired farmer watched Luo Nan walking towards the villa in front with his hand luggage, and softly chanted, “It’s really different, too different.”
Raymond Manor owns thousands of acres of fertile and good land, as well as a large area of mountain forests and pastures, and is considered to be of considerable scale and strength in the area around Frye Town.
The manor’s hired farmers and servants added up to nearly two hundred people, in addition to butlers, guards, cooks, florists, tailors…
It could be described as a thriving population.
Luo Nan’s arrival also caught the attention of many servants who were working in the manor.
When they recognized Luo Nan, they were even more surprised than Old Jim!
A well-dressed old man stood at the main entrance of the villa, gazing at Luo Nan, who had come to him, with a prudent gaze.
Ronan bowed slightly, “Greetings, Mr. Connelly.”
This old man was none other than the Raymond family’s butler, Connery. Kidd, who was already in his fifties this year, and although his hair was already gray, his eyes were still filled with an awe-inspiring glare.
In Ronan’s memory, the person that the predecessor feared the most was not his father Malcolm. Raymond.
Rather, it was the old butler in front of him.
Because if the predecessor usually made any mistakes, it was this butler who was responsible for teaching him.
Including but not limited to the teaching of corporal punishment!
Connery meticulously returned a bow, “Greetings, Mr. Ronan.”
As the common son of the Raymond family, Luo Nan, who had already reached adulthood, ceased to be a part of this family three years ago, so there was no problem with this butler addressing Luo Nan.
He straightened his back again and said, “Master and Madam are waiting for you in the study.”
Luo Nan nodded, “Okay.”
He walked up and stepped onto the steps, and was facing Connery. Kidd, without the slightest intention of avoiding him.
Once upon a time, Ronan was as afraid of this old butler as a tiger.
Now Ronan had only the most basic courtesy.
Connery hesitated for a moment, then silently stepped aside to make way.
He had already realized that Luo Nan, who had returned again after three years away from home, was no longer the timid teenager from back then!
Luo Nan stepped into the villa’s hall with his head held high.
A little girl who was sitting on the sofa reading a book raised her head and cast a puzzled gaze at him.
Luo Nan put down the suitcase in his hand and smiled, “Ani, long time no see.”
This teenage-looking little girl was his sister Alice . Raymond – a half-sister by blood.
Ani was her nickname.
Out of all the siblings of the predecessor, the one who had the best relationship with him was this little sister.
“Ah!”
Alice immediately dropped her books and jumped up, jumping into Luo Nan’s arms as fast as she could, “Brother Luo Nan!”
Luo Nan smiled and picked her up.
In the original body’s memories, this innocent and cute little sister was one of the few warmths in his life before the age of sixteen.
