Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1134

Back outside, Miles sat in his sports car, sipping the stolen coffee. It tasted surprisingly good. A smug smile danced in his eyes.

Running into Lillian today had been far easier than he anticipated.

Though, even if they hadn't 'accidentally' bumped into each other, he had fully intended to march straight into Lillionix to find her.

Striking first was the name of the game, and he wasn't about to miss his window.

Satisfied, he revved the engine and sped away.

Upstairs, Lillian didn't give the encounter a second thought.

The Winthrop family was back in Northwyn to build their empire. Their paths were bound to cross. A random run-in meant nothing.

Of course, the thought that it was a calculated ambush never even crossed her mind.

That evening, Sebastian's private jet touched down on the helipad of his suburban estate.

Unlike the brief spark of excitement he showed when first seeing his father, Noah now looked utterly deflated, staring sullenly out the window.

Lester Ross noticed the boy's mood as he greeted them. "Is the Young Master exhausted from the flight? Should I take him to his room to rest?"

Noah's face lit up, and he looked at Lester hopefully. But before he could get a word out, Sebastian crushed the idea.

"No time for rest. We're heading straight to Halfridge Villas. Noah doesn't want to delay seeing his mother any longer than he has to."

The light instantly died in Noah's eyes.

Didn't want to delay?

He didn't want to see her at all. His dad was the one dragging him there against his will.

Noah kept his head down, not daring to argue.

The impending reunion filled him with a gnawing dread.

Lester picked up on the heavy tension but knew better than to pry.

Securing a meeting with Lillian was priority number one.
