Chapter 407

Kieran gently gathered Lila's long hair, tying it into a neat ponytail with light, careful movements.

Lila turned to look at him, seriously considering what he had just said before responding, "I like everyone in the Morgan family."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she hopped out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and headed toward the bathroom.

"We need to hurry. Aunt Nicole always wakes up early, and I overslept today. Why didn't you wake me up?"

The moment she said it, she realized her words sounded a little too accusatory.

Popping her head back out of the bathroom, she quickly added, "It's mostly my fault, my sleep schedule is all over the place."

Kieran's smile was soft, and his voice was warm and reassuring as he said, "No rush. If we don't get everything done this morning, we can finish the rest after picking up Aunt Jasmine and Bryce this afternoon."

"That works, but it's better to get the main things now and come back to double- check later," Lila agreed.

She didn't waste any more time, quickly brushing her teeth and washing her face.

Kieran joined her at the sink, and Lila glanced at him with a teasing smile. "Uncle Kieran, I'll have to trouble you to wait here a little longer while I go change."

When she finished getting dressed and opened the door, she found Kieran waiting patiently just there.
