Chapter 157 George Makes His Entrance
The morning started lively for Milly as she was roused by the sounds from downstairs.
Heading down, she spotted Stephanie, whom she’d thought would be busy on set, now in the living room, having a blast and playfully clinging to Philip’s arm. Their laughter filled the room, with Philip looking notably more spirited.
Jonathan and Anthony were barely out of bed, hair all over the place, standing in their pyjamas, yet strikingly ready for action.
On the couch, Jordan was calmly going through some papers, with Xavier by his side, looking like he’d pulled an all–nighter, shadows under his eyes.
Milly was intrigued.
Could she possibly resist Xavier’s allure, appearing so exhausted and weary, his eyes shadowed with grey? It looked as if he hadn’t managed to get any sleep at all.
Despite her youthful appearance, her heart was that of a doctor’s.
Choosing to keep her secret for now, she didn’t want to pile on to his stress.
Stephanie was the first to see Milly on the stairs, greeting her with a big wave and a bright smile. “Milly. you’re finally awake. Come join us for breakfast, she said with a hint of mischief.
Milly rolled her eyes, not in the mood for early–morning theatrics.
Stephanie’s playful words quickly turned Philip’s warmth into a frown.
He tapped his cane with a decisive sound and reprimanded, “What’s the time? Back in our day, we’d have already finished chores by now.”
Observing her grandfather’s irritation, Stephanie responded with a gleaming smile. She gently nudged his arm, coaxing him, “Come on, Grandpa, no need to get upset. Milly’s probably just really tired, which is why she slept in. Unlike me, who had a minor role and wasn’t as worn out, I managed to get up early.”
But Philip was having none of it. His mood soured further as he directed Milly, “You young ones are too relaxed. Join the others and stand at attention for an hour before breakfast!”
Stephanie’s grin grew, and there was satisfaction in her eyes as she looked at Milly.
