“The owner isn’t selling. I’ll find you somewhere else.”

As far as Verdant Villa went, Ethan had given up.

He hadn’t told Lillian that Stella was living there, and that the house’s owner was the man behind Stella now.

But what was really on her mind was the bet she’d made with Stella–and Stella’s smugness back then-

So now Ethan was telling her she’d never be moving in there? Lillian felt like she couldn’t breathe.

“I’ve got something I need to deal with. I’ll call you later,” Ethan said quickly.

Right now, meeting with the Luke family’s representative was the priority.
