    **Chapter 327**


    My jaw dropped in sheer disbelief. The revtion was nothing short of astonishing, a beautifully woven deception that seemed entirely usible considering the nuances of what Alexander knew about my connection with Lilith.


    “You and E are… were… rted?” Alexander murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, as if the weight of the truth was too heavy to bear.


    Lilith offered a curt nod, her demeanor steady yet tinged with an underlying tension. “When my half-sister passed away, I made a promise to myself to keep an eye on her child for as long as I had breath in my body. I often observed E from a distance, and when she wed you, I took the opportunity to apply for a position in your household. I apologize for not revealing this sooner, but I couldn’t bring myself to share it with anyone. Not even with E.”


    “Why would you keep something like that a secret?” Alexander’s brow furrowed, a mixture of confusion and concern etched across his face.


    “My reasons are my own,” Lilith replied, her voice calm and measured.


    For a long, tense moment, Alexander scrutinized Lilith, his gaze sweeping over her features as if he were trying to decipher aplex puzzle. Finally, he broke the silence, “I never had the chance to meet Henrietta Eden, E’s mother—she was gone long before E and I crossed paths. But I’ve seen photographs, and there’s no denying the resemnce.”


    “I’m aware of that,” Lilith said, lifting her chin defiantly, a flicker of pride in her eyes.


    “But you could have confided in me after E’s death,” Alexander pressed on, his tone softening. “I would have dly assisted you in uncovering more about your family.”


    “I didn’t want to burden you with my familial turmoil,” Lilith replied, a casual shrug betraying the gravity of her words. “You already have enough on your te with the wedding and all the other chaos surrounding it. I thought it best for Ste to investigate quietly.”


    “So that’s why you ventured to Stormhollow,” Alexander remarked, his expression shifting to one of understanding as he turned back to me, a gentler look softening his features. “Their archives would surely contain moreprehensive family records.”


    I nodded, unable to trust my voice to respond, my heart racing in my chest. Meanwhile, Lucien, blissfully ignorant of the heavy conversation, giggled and blew yet another bubble, the sound light and carefree in stark contrast to the tension in the air.


    “I can assist you in reconnecting with E’s family,” Alexander offered to Lilith, his tone earnest. “Margaret and Richard may not be the most weing individuals, but they might be open to—”


    “No!” Lilith’s sharp retort sliced through the air, cutting him off abruptly. Instantly, she seemed to regret her outburst, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. “I mean… thank you for your kind offer, but I don’t believe I can face them. Richard was never kind to my half-sister, and it has always troubled me how quickly he moved on after her passing.”


    At that, Alexander stiffened, his entire body going rigid as if struck by a sudden realization. I could see the wheels turning in his mind, drawing parallels between his own circumstances and the situation Lilith described.


    “I understand,” he finally said, his voice softer now,ced with empathy. “But the offer remains open should you ever reconsider.”


    “Thank you,” Lilith replied, her smile tight yet sincere. “Your kindness means a great deal to me.”


    An ufortable silence enveloped us, stretching out like a taut string. Alexander ran a hand through his tousled hair, exhaling a heavy sigh that seemed to carry the weight of the world.


    “I’m sorry,” he said, turning to me with a look of genuine remorse. “I shouldn’t have confronted you like that. I was already on edge from an encounter I hadst night, and I took my frustration out on you.”


    “Who did you run into?” I asked, curiosity piqued despite the heaviness of the moment.


    “I encountered Margaret Eden at the library,” he replied, his voice thick with irritation. “E’s stepmother. She and Richard never showed up for E’s funeral, and seeing her in person ignited a fury within me.”


    I blinked, taken aback by the revtion. So she had been there at the same time as Alexander?


    Without thinking, I blurted out, “What kind of book did she check out?”


    Alexander opened his mouth, then hesitated, a frown creasing his brow as he considered my question. “Why does that matter?” he asked, then shook his head dismissively. “I don’t know. Just some romance novels.”


    Romance novels. From the restricted section. The thought was puzzling and raised numerous questions in my mind.


    “Oh,” I replied, trying to mask my intrigue. “I was just curious.”


    Clearly too fatigued to delve deeper into the topic, Alexander began to walk toward the gate but paused, turning back to us. “If either of you needs assistance with anything else, please don’t hesitate to ask. I realize I’ve been somewhat distracted with everything happening, but you both hold significant importance in this household.”


    Once he left, I pulled Lucien close to my chest, exhaling a shaky breath. That had felt perilously close to unraveling.


    “Thank you,” I whispered to Lilith, my voice barely above a murmur. “I truly don’t know how I would have managed if you hadn’t intervened.”


    “I’m sure we’ll face the repercussions of that lie eventually,” Lilith said, settling down beside me, her expression contemtive.


    I sighed, hoping she was mistaken. But knowing her as I did, I had little doubt that she was spot on.


    She shot me a knowing sidelong nce. “Did you happen to see Margaret at the library as well?”


    “That obvious, huh?” I mumbled, my gaze dropping to the floor, acutely aware of how my face must have paled at the mere mention of her name. I decided it was best to share everything I had witnessed the previous night.


    By the time I finished recounting my tale, Lilith’s expression was one of deep concern. “Hmm. That’s quite peculiar. I wonder what her intentions might be for visiting the restricted section of the pack library?”


    “I have no clue. But it seems she may have taken some mundane books with her to avoid raising any suspicions, which… only raises my own suspicions,” I replied, my mind racing.


    Suddenly, Lilith sprang to her feet, her determination palpable as she made her way toward the exit. “I think I need to investigate this further.”


    “How do you n to do that?” I asked, my eyes wide with curiosity and concern.


    Lilith paused, ncing over her shoulder with a mischievous wink. “Don’t fret about that, dear. I have my connections.”Conclusion

Lilith’s secret, once a looming shadow, now stood exposed, binding her to E in a way that transcended mere familial ties.
