She tactfully gave the father and daughter their space.
After a few minutes, Lily trotted over to her, looking incredibly serious. It was obvious the little girl had something on her mind.
"What are you thinking about, sweetie?" Raelynn probed gently.
Lily remained a vault, completely immune to her mother's sweetness. "It's a secret."
Raelynn sighed.
Begrudgingly, she took Lily's hand to guide her toward her friends.
On the way, she overheard a conversation nearby.
It was Julian and his sister, Sierra.
Julian was looking at Sierra with a distinct lack of warmth. "Why are you here?"
Sierra, clearly intimidated by her brother, nervously twisted the hem of her dress. "Professor Ortiz invited me. I'm her student."
Julian frowned at the explanation.
Seeking to defend herself, Sierra added, "Professor Ortiz is really nice to me. We get along great, so..."
Julian didn't care about her excuses.
He was about to snap at her.
When Quentin called.
"I'll be there with Sylvia in about half an hour," Quentin announced. "She wasn't feeling well, so I took her to the hospital first. We'll head over together."
Julian's face darkened.
Bringing Sylvia? Knowing they suspected Raelynn was the true heiress, he was still parading Sylvia around?
Julian wanted to scream.
His expression turned so thunderous that Sierra shrank back in terror.
The only thing that diffused Julian's rage was the sight of Raelynn and Lily walking past. The storm clouds in his eyes vanished instantly. "Raelynn. Lily."
Lily remembered him.
He was the man who had bought her a mountain of toys.
"Hi, Mister."
Hearing her call him that twisted a knife in Julian's gut. Knowing there was a very real chance this woman was his sister and this little girl was his niece, he was desperate to hear her call him "Uncle."
Before Julian could say anything.
Sierra's eyes lit up at the sight of Lily. She eagerly stepped forward, reaching out to pinch the little girl's chubby cheeks.
But the gesture triggered an explosive reaction from Julian.

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
