“Rose, if you had been honest with me earlier, maybe all of this could have been avoided, Lily said with at weary sigh. “But what’s done is done. If you truly love him, then you can have him.”

He felt a wave of relief washing over him. Earlier, when Lily had addressed him as “Mr. Miller, he had nearly given
