Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 259

And even if he did have an opinion, who would listen to him?

So, even if he went to talk to Sebastian now, it wouldn’t lead to anything.

Still, Brandon sent Sebastian a message.

[Sebastian, you promised you would take care of Lillian. You will look after her, won’t you? Lillian might not have much time left. You are the love of her life. If you abandon her too, she might lose all courage to go on.]

After sending the message, Brandon wasn’t in a hurry for a reply.

Making Sebastian responsible for Lillian was like planting a seed in his mind.

It was a duty assigned to him. As long as he agreed to take care of her, things would be manageable.

Sebastian happened to be zoning out in his office when he received the message.

His gaze fell on the phrase “love of her life.”

Yes, he was the love of Lillian’s life.

Lillian loved him deeply, hopelessly.

She had been that way since they were young, and he knew it well.

He shouldn’t be second-guessing her love for him.

How could she not love him?

A woman like her seemed born for romance.

She was a pampered heiress, yet she’d chased him through college and even graduate school.

Though the Mercer family’s money had certainly helped, it couldn’t have been easy for someone like her.

For Lillian to do all that, she must have been madly in love with him.

Whether he loved her back or not, Sebastian had enjoyed the feeling of being so adored.

All these years, we thought Lillian was a mess, that she never did anything right.

But now it seems she had good judgment after all. The man she chose is leagues above anyone else.

She spotted Sebastian’s potential right from the start.

It’s just a shame… if their marriage wasn’t just for show, things might be completely different.”

They had been high school sweethearts who married young and went through the hardship of starting a business together. They should have been a deeply devoted couple.

If that had been the case, Sebastian would have invested more energy and capital into the Mercer family.

What a pity…

“Brandon, if that’s the case, we don’t need to worry about Lillian anymore.

Let’s worry about ourselves. We have more pressing issues to deal with.”
