To have someone enter Ares' mansion, they must first receive permission from Ares. Normally, the security guard at the front would call Liam whenever someone comes to visit. Even Aries' aunt has to notify him as well. However, Madame Linsey, Aries' mother, had already called Liam to inform him that if Madame Luna came to the mansion, he should let her in, which surprised Liam quite a bit. Nevertheless, he did not oppose the order, as Madame Linsey's commands are also considered authoritative. Liam stepped out to wait for Madame Luna, who is Aries' aunt. When the other party's car arrived and parked, Liam saw Madame Luna getting out of the car with a young woman.

"Hello, Madame Luna. Is there something you need?" Liam asked to start the conversation.

"Can't I come to see my nephew?" Ares' aunt replied.

"You can if the boss permits it," Liam responded with a smile.

"But if Madame is here to see the boss, I must sincerely apologize. The boss is not here," Liam informed her, which made Madame Luna frown immediately.

"What do you mean? I heard that Ares just returned today, didn't he?" Madame Luna questioned.

"Yes, but the boss went out to the office," Liam replied straightforwardly.

"Why work so hard? Instead of resting, he should be taking it easy. Well, he'll probably come back after work, right? I and the young lady will wait here," Madame Luna responded. Since it was already afternoon, they would wait a few more hours for Ares to return. Those who know Ares well would understand that his schedule is unpredictable; he might come back to the mansion or not, depending on the situation. However, it was good luck for Madame Luna that she decided to wait for Ares today because he was bound to come back to see Tharn. But Madame Luna was unaware of this.

"Isn't Mr Ares going to mind, auntie?" Rea asked with a tone of concern, but her eyes sparkled as she looked around at the luxurious and grand mansion before her. Liam observed with a calm expression.

"No, if he knew that you were coming, he would have rushed back quickly, Rea." Madame Luna said, trying to please the young woman, which made Rea blush slightly.

"If Madame confirms that you will wait for the boss here, then please come inside," Liam invited before leading the two women to the reception room and asking the housekeeper to bring drinks and snacks.

"If you need anything, just call our housekeeper," Liam mentioned, but he didn't go far, still lingering nearby to watch the two women from a distance.

"Does Mr Ares live here alone?" Rea asked Madame Luna while admiring the luxurious furniture with interest.

"Yes, his parents are at another place. If you're ever feeling lonely, you can come visit him," Madame Luna encouraged. Liam heard this and subtly shook his head because there was no way Ares would allow Rea to visit him here alone without Madame Luna. If it displeased Ares, Madame Luna might not step foot here again, unlike Tharn, whom Ares brought himself. Thinking of Tharn, Liam recalled that he was here today, too. Although Tharn was resting, it was uncertain whether he would come down to meet these two.

"Liam, I'm going to take Rea to tour Ares' house for a bit," Madame Luna said.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible," Liam replied immediately, causing Madame Luna to frown in response.

"Why not? I'm Ares's aunt, this is my nephew's house!" Madame Luna exclaimed a bit.

"Even Madame Linsey, the boss's mother, has to ask the boss first," Liam mentioned, causing Madame Luna to pause slightly. If even the boss's mother had to ask, what did that mean for her?

"Tch, so picky," Madame Luna complained, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"It's okay, Auntie Luna. We can just wait for Mr Ares here," the young woman said sweetly. Liam then turned on the TV for both of them to watch while they waited. If either of them needed to go to the restroom, the housekeeper would follow them to ensure they didn't wander off elsewhere.
