She made her way downstairs, hearing the sound of a girl bidding her farewells.

From the staircase, Lila saw the girl, dressed in a white sweater and a long black skirt, walking toward the entrance.

"The Clemence family is inviting us to their daughter's welcome banquet," Kieran replied.

"Us?" Lila raised an eyebrow.

He chuckled and set the cup she had just sipped from on the table.

"Mrs. Morgan," he said, his tone lifting with a playful smile.

Lila flinched at the title, feeling a flush of awkwardness.

Kieran raised a brow. "Attend as Mrs. Morgan."
