Lilian was about to protest, but a woman’s voice cut through the air. “You two finally made it. Your grandfather has been staring at the door so long I thought he’d bore a hole through it.” Uriel approached them, her smile radiating genuine warmth.

Lilian felt a flush of shyness. “I’m sorry to keep everyone waiting.” Even though they’d met in the middle of the chaos at the gala, this formal introduction felt entirely different. The weight of it made her pulse quicken.

“We’ve been waiting since breakfast for Sebastian to bring you over,” Uriel said, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “I was actually worried you hadn’t forgiven him yet. Seeing you two walk in together is a huge weight off my mind.”

Lilian winced as she remembered her outburst at the ballroom. “I’m so sorry about yesterday. I shouldn’t have let my emotions get the better of me like that, especially with family watching.”

“Nonsense,” Uriel said, her voice light and elegant. “I knew you were only angry because you care about him so much. He was completely in the wrong! Hiding things from you and letting those headlines run? If I were in your shoes, I would have been even more furious. You had every right to be mad. I gave him a piece of my mind after we got home, so I’m sure he won’t be making the same mistake twice.”

Lilian offered a small, appreciative smile. “Thank you. I know he meant well by shielding me, but I don’t want to be kept in a bubble. I want to be able to stand by him when things get tough, not just when it’s easy.”

Uriel looked at her with newfound respect. “I hear you. And believe me, Sebastian is starting to understand how lucky he is to have someone like you.”

Sebastian watched the two of them, a soft look in his eyes. “Mom, Lilian hasn’t eaten yet. Let her get some food in her before you two start a marathon chat.”

“Oh, look at me!” Uriel laughed, patting her cheek. “I got so caught up in talking to Lilian that I forgot your grandfather is inside waiting for his future granddaughter–in–law. We told him everything when we got back last night, and he’s asked me about a hundred times this morning when you’d be here. Come on, let’s get inside.”

They followed Uriel through a series of long, arched corridors before entering a sun–drenched lounge. An elderly man with a kind, sharp face sat near the window, locked in a game of chess with Derrick.

“Dad, look who’s here,” Uriel announced.

Bran looked up, and the moment his eyes landed on Lilian, he froze. “The resemblance… it’s uncanny.”

Lilian shot a confused glance at Sebastian, wondering what the old man meant.

Derrick looked up from the chessboard, equally puzzled. “Dad? What are you talking about?”

Bran chuckled, though his eyes remained fixed on Lilian. “This girl is a Philips through and through. When I was younger, I met Merrick’s wife a few times. This little one is the spitting image of her. She has seventy or eighty percent of her grandmother’s features.”

Lilian smiled. “You knew my grandmother?”

“Of course,” Bran said, his voice nostalgic. “Your grandparents were icons in Murica back in the day. I saw them at plenty of galax It’s a tragedy what happened later, and I know Merrick withdrew from the world after the fallout. But seeing you back with the Philips family… I’m sure it’s brought him a lot of peace.”
