Chapter 35

Mila had no idea what Conrad and Lysander discussed in the study. After they finished their conversation and Felicity had rested enough, the family of five gathered in the dining room for dinner.

Lysander's younger brother, Eugene, was still absent.

At the long dining table, Conrad and Felicity sat at the head. Lysander and his son, Adrian, were seated on the same side as Conrad. Unlike before, Mila chose not to sit beside Lysander; instead, she took a seat closer to Felicity.

Everyone's eyes fell on Mila.

Before Felicity could say anything, Mila served a dish Felicity loved into her bowl and smiled, "I haven't been around much lately. I'd like to spend more time with you, Mom."

In truth, Mila wished to avoid sitting next to Lysander.

Felicity seemed pleased and didn't insist she join Lysander. Lysander, however, frowned slightly but remained silent.

The meal proceeded with a semblance of warmth and peace.

Before their visit, they had agreed to leave from the family home for the Lockwoods' gathering the next day. That night, the three of them stayed at the family residence.
