The man’s words made the people around them burst into laughter. Merrick pointed at Sebastian and said, “You rascal, you’re dishonest! You want to take Lilian home, yet you found such a grand excuse and dragged me into it! I bet this is exactly how you managed to trick my Lilian into falling for you.”
Sebastian put his arm around Lilian’s shoulder and said seriously, “Grandfather, do you truly think Lilian is so easily tricked? This young woman is sharp. If I hadn’t spent a long time using the ‘boiling the frog‘ strategy, do you think she would have let me into her heart?”
Lilian gave the man an affectionate glare. “You are the frog!”
Merrick looked at the two of them, satisfied. “Alright, I know you two are close, but let me be clear up front: if you ever let Lilian suffer any grievance, I will definitely take her away, and you will never see her again.

“A painting?” the man asked, puzzled.
Lilian’s voice was low. “Yes, I found it in the house Mom left me. It was a portrait of Grandfather and Grandmother. I went to the house Mom gave me today. It turns out that house was meant to be the place where she and would live together, but she never got the chance. And in the letter Mom left me, she revealed that her memory had begun to return just before she died. That’s why she painted Grandfather and Grandmother’s likenesses. But she passed away before she could even remember the way home. You can’t imagine how much hatred I felt when I read her words asking me to tell the elders in the painting that she
