Ana's POV
I'd been away from Collin Mansion for a while. During this time, I hadn't contacted anyone from the Collin family. The day I left, I'd wiped away every trace of my existence there.

When Hughes came home from school that day, he seemed unusually distracted. It felt like ages since he'd last seen Ana.
The maid asked if he was hungry. Without thinking, he replied, "Fix me a bowl of hearty porridge."
He remembered how Ana used to prepare hearty porridge for him, and he'd gotten the kitchen staff to learn the recipe. The maid nodded and went off to make it.
Hughes then started rummaging through the snack cabinet. The living room had a snack cabinet built into the wall, stocked with treats just for him.
Before, Ana would bake goodies and stock them there, so Hughes could grab whatever he wanted.
But since that fight between Ana and Ridley over the divorce, nobody had refilled the snacks.
