Chapter 221 In a quiet corner of the living room, Billie sat at a small table by the window, meticulously preparing coffee.

She had no desire to confront Elizabeth directly—it would only lead to discomfort for both of them.

Nor did she wish to act the part of a gracious, affectionate mother-in-law in the presence of others.

Shawn observed her deft movements as she poured the coffee and casually praised her.

“Among the James family, your coffee is unmatched.”

Billie returned his compliment with a poised smile.

“Shawn, I’m glad you appreciate it, but too much coffee this late isn’t wise.

“Billie, make coffee for me and Elizabeth as well.”

Before she finished brewing the coffee, Melany arrived, accompanied by Elizabeth and Elijah.
