"Who you marry is your own business, but she's still a child. If you're going to get married, do it on your own time. Don't use the kid to score points with someone else."
Dominic frowned. His lips parted, but he said nothing.
"I don't care about whatever is going on between you two," Seraphina continued. "But she is your daughter. Can you figure out how to manage the relationship between her and your woman? Either keep people from provoking the child, or stop putting on an act in front of her."
With that, she took Lily's hand and turned to leave.
As they reached the courtyard gate, Cynthia called out from behind.
"Seraphina."
Seraphina paused and glanced back at her.
Cynthia stood on the porch with a faint smile on her face.
She glanced indifferently at the pouting Lily, then met Seraphina's gaze.
"At The Lockwood Group's celebration banquet next week, Dominic is going to propose to me. The company's clients and the Lockwood relatives will all be there. You'll come too, won't you?"
"After all, it's been six years, and you've never gotten to witness a scene like that."
The faint smile never left her face.
Seraphina raised an eyebrow. "And?"
Cynthia's smile held steady.
"I actually wanted to thank you. Not only did you step aside to give me such a wonderful man like Dominic, but more importantly, your tech proposal helped The Lockwood Group make a killing on this deal. If you hadn't helped them earn so much money, Dominic probably wouldn't have thought to throw such a grand engagement party."
The curve of her lips deepened slightly.
"In the end, you could say you're the hero who made my marriage to Dominic possible."
