Lily George looked at him and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Ms. Carter is back,” the butler replied.
“Shirley?” Lily raised an eyebrow.
The butler nodded just as two women walked in.
Shirley Carter entered with Catherine Blair at her side, stopping in front of Lily.
“Mom,” Shirley greeted.
Catherine chimed in right after, “Grandma.”
Then she glanced over at Adelina Lane and added, “Hi, Adelina.”
Adelina replied with a gentle smile.
Lily’s gaze landed on Shirley, her brow furrowing. “What brings you by today?”
Shirley flopped onto the couch with a dramatic sigh. “What, I can’t come visit my own mother unless something’s wrong? You sound like you can’t stand me.”
Lily shot her a look. “Why would I be tired of you?”
Then her eyes shifted to Catherine, who stood quietly nearby. “Catherine, is that you? It’s been ages.”
Catherine nodded politely. “Yes, Grandma, it’s me. Adelina told me you’ve been under the weather lately, so I thought I’d tag along and visit you.”
Lily nodded, her tone warm but reserved. “That’s thoughtful of you. Have a seat.”
Catherine smiled. “Thanks, Grandma.”
The whole time, Shirley barely glanced at Adelina. Instead, her attention flickered to the young woman sitting beside Lily—Olivia Bennett. She hesitated for a second, confusion flickering across her face.
“And who’s this? I don’t think we’ve met.”
