It was <b>already </bte.
Lillian stared at Susan, almost dazed. “Mom. Ethan just said… we shouldn’t see each other for the next few days.<b>” </b>
Susan’s face froze.
Then she quickly tried to exin it <b>away</b>. “Didn’t I tell you? The Keene family has a big deal in the works right now. He’s probably just busy.
“No… it’s not just <b>that</b>. He never bought Verdant Vi either<b>.</b>”
A whole week <b>had </b>passed.
And in that entire week… he hadn’t <b>done </b>anything?
Susan’s face stiffened. “He didn’t buy it? But didn’t he say he did? Didn’t he say he was even changing the curtains to the kind you like
Lillian didn’t respond.
<b>Yeah</b>, he had said that. Said the curtains would be exactly the kind she liked.
So what the hell <b>was </b>he talking about earlier?
After a night of chaos
While the Keene and Reed families were scrambling. Ste slept like <b>a </b>baby.
She got up early, originally nning to head <b>to </b><b>her </b>studio.
But Abraham brought her to the hospital instead.
Ste looked confused. “Why <b>does </b>Madam Alice want to see me?”
Madam Alice.
<b>She </b>was the elegant older woman who’de to the <b>hospital </b>before to help Abraham. Last night, she’d called <b>and </b><b>said </b>she really wanted to see Ste.
So this morning. Abraham had brought her over
“Probably because she likes you” <b>Abraham </b>said.
“Huh! But we’ve only niet twice. Don’t tell me she has a grandson?”
That was usually the reason olderdies wanted to see a girl again.
Abraham fucked
He reached over <b>and </b>gently pinched her cheek. “If that were the case, you <b>think </b>I’d bring you here?”

The thought made her nce over at him.
The car pulled to a stop
Abiel will go with you, Abraham <b>said</b>.

She’d already noticed an extra driver in the car this morning. She figured Abel had something else on his schedule Didn’t expect it was to escort
Abel got <b>out </b>and politely opencil her door.
Ste looked at <b>Abraham</b>. “I’m going
She <b>had </b>just turned to step out when he called her back, his voice low and deep, with a hint of… something unspoken.
Ste turned “What is it?”
Abraham pulled her gently back in.
Her back pressed against the car door, and his hand came toward her chest.
The sudden motion <b>made </b>every muscle in her body tighten up.
Her face flushed red on the spot.
Her voice trembled. She wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Her heart was practically leaping out of her throat.
Then she felt him tug at the fabric over her chest.
She looked down–and saw his hand, slow and steady, fastening the undone button on her shirt.
He even double–checked it after, muttering. “The buttonhole’s too loose. Don’t wear this againTM
Her face turned even redder

She turned <b>to </b>get out of the car.
<b>But </b>the moment she did, he caught her wrist.
With a gentle pull, she tumbled straight into his arms.
“Abraham-” she started.
But he just chuckled low above her.
“You really <b>have </b>grown up, he murmured near her ear. “You even <b>know </b>how to get shy now”
“Stop it
He punched her <b>cheek</b>, not letting her go. “Come on, tell me what exactly did you think I was going to do?”
