Nathan seized the moment to grab Lily's hand, his tone suddenly gentler, almost strange in its softness. "Just apologize to Melissa and we can put this behind us."

Lily lowered her eyes and smiled.

Melissa, standing off to the side, stammered, "Brother, that's not necessary. I could never accept an apology from my sister-in-law."

Lily looked up at Nathan. "She just said it isn't necessary. I'll respect that."

Nathan opened his mouth, then said nothing.

Lily patted his arm. "Go get the car. Toby

    The sleeping boy still trembled every so often.Adrian stepped away from the bed.Crossed to the balcony.Looked out over the grounds below.He rubbed his temples. Tomorrow's going to be another battle, clearly.He could handle negotiations and boardrooms with equal ease.Business, family politics he was good at all of it.Comforting a crying child, apparently, was the one thing that genuinely stumped him.He let out a breath.Tucked the blanket back around Milo and left the room.He'd barely reached his own doorWhen Prescott's voice called after him."Master Adrian."He stopped, turning toward the older man.Prescott approached, smiling. "The old master's asked me to find a proper nanny and tutor for young Milo."Adrian answered with a cool hum.One sentence, and suddenly the old man's playing the gracious grandfather?A thin, cold smile tugged at his mouth.Prescott caught it and sighed quietly to himself. "You know how he's always been. If he genuinely didn't want the boy, he woul

    The Ferris wheel came to a stop.Adrian carried Milo in his arms, Lily trailing behind, and the three of them left the park.They made it to the parking lot.Adrian glanced at Lily and set Milo down on his feet.She knelt in front of him.Met him right at eye level.She rested both hands gently on his small, soft shoulders. "Milo, you're going to be a big kid in school soon. Eat well, no picking at your vegetables."Milo just looked at her, utterly confused.His dark eyes wide, fixed on her blankly.She moved her hands from his shoulders to cup his small face, smoothing over it again and again, then reached down and zipped his jacket all the way up to his chin."And you need to sleep well, too. Lights out by nine, every night. Remember the little alarm clock Mom got you? That's what it's for it'll remind you.""Remember that."He nodded, obedient.Lily drew a breath.Felt it rising fast, and turned her face away.Forced the tears back down.She smiled at him, gentle. "Brush your teeth

    The amusement park.The moment they walked in, Milo made a beeline for the carousel.Eyes bright, he looked up at the two adults flanking him. "The three-seater's for a family of three!"A family of three.Something tightened in Lily's chest.Nathan had always been lukewarm around Milo at best, his attention purely a performance for show.Just managing to coexist peacefully had always counted as a win.He certainly wasn't the type to drop his work and his life to spend a day at an amusement park.It had always just been Lily and Milo.Both of them with hearing aids, in a world that wasn't built for it.So many rides had turned them away over the years.And every time, Milo had been the one comforting her telling her he didn't even like rides that much, that they were silly anyway.But nowLooking at the sheer hope and joy on his face, how could she possibly refuse him anything?She nodded, firm. "Okay. Mom's riding with you."Milo turned hopeful eyes on Adrian.Adrian said nothing.Wh

    "Come get me at the train station.""On my way!"Lily was already grabbing her shoes, phone in hand. "Grandma, I'm heading to the station Robin's here."Eleanor shot up, startled. "Robin's actually here?"Lily nodded, already halfway into her shoes. "Watch Milo and keep an eye on the pot for me.""Go on, go on," Eleanor waved her off. "Drive safe."When Lily reached the pickup area, she found Robin juggling a baby in one arm and dragging a suitcase with the other.A taxi driver beside her kept tugging at her sleeve. "Miss, where you headed? I'll give you a deal, let's go, let's go."He had a hand on her suitcase too.Robin's patience had already run out.She let out a string of curses.It didn't faze the driver it startled the baby instead, who started up a thin, wavering cry.Lily rushed forward. "Robin!"She sprinted the last stretch.Grabbed the suitcase handle right out of the driver's grip. "Let's go."The driver watched the two of them disappear.Grunted.And finally climbed bac

    The white-haired shareholder smiled. "What's there to doubt? If Edmund were alive, of course he'd inherit he's the eldest.""But fate's cruel sometimes. He died young. Which left Nathan as the only one in this family capable of carrying it forward. We're only here, as elders of this company, to make sure that even once the seal changes hands, Nathan continues treating you exactly as he always has.""If he ever shows you a hint of disrespect, we'll be the first in line to object. For the good of the Pierce name, Mrs. Pierce it's time to let a little power go."Beatrice sighed.She lifted a hand, theatrical, pressing her knuckles to the corner of one eye. "Yes. If only my Edmund were still alive. Would all of this have fallen into an illegitimate son's hands instead?"Nathan's eyes narrowed.Something felt off.Beatrice wasn't behaving like herself today.As much as she'd always looked down on his standing as the illegitimate son, both of them had long understood the arrangement between

    Lily agreed without a second thought.Adrian wasn't just Milo's uncle he'd bailed her out more times than she could easily count.Even setting all debts of gratitude asideShe'd have taken care of him regardless.Through the night, Adrian's fever kept breaking and climbing back, and Lily barely closed her eyes.The moment his temperature spiked, she was back with the ice pack.She checked him every five minutes, and the second it refused to drop, she went straight for the nurse.By four in the morningThe fever had finally broken for good.Lily had just curled up on the sofa near the bed and drifted into a shallow doze.The eastern sky had just started to pale, the first thread of dawn cutting through the last of the dark.Adrian opened his eyes.He found Lily curled across from him on the sofa, asleep but restless, her brow faintly creased. A few strands of hair clung to her cheek, her lashes still, her lips pressed into a small, pursed shape.He lifted an arm.The movement pulled sh
