Okuman Chouja ni Miserarete

Esme believed she had left her past behind until Jack's arrival stirred it all up again. When she spotted him, she was unable to speak. Jack had come to view the manor where she had grown up, now for sale. He was the son of the manor’s former cook and had become a wealthy businessman. Ten years earlier, Esme had comforted Jack after he was rejected by her older sister. The following day, she left home. Now, after many years apart, their paths have crossed again, and Esme is keeping a secret she hopes Jack will never discover.
