The Queen Returns—And She’s Unforgiving novel Chapter 282

Bill remembered clearly that Brandon had also been present at the birthday banquet the Miller family hosted. Though thinking about it, there was a good chance he and Evelyn hadn't interacted.

Still, with the right introduction, maybe the two of them could get talking. It wouldn't be anything formal. They could start as just friends. Whatever happened after that was up to fate.
