"Did she whine aboutto you again?" Xavier questioned.
Shane instantly felt something was amiss when the former said the word "again." He stated, She wasn't
complaining to me. | was the one who asked her about it."
Xavier's lips curled into a sneer, and a disinterested look crept onto his face. "Don't bother covering up for her."
"I'm not covering up for her. Xavier, a man should be concerned about his wife-"
"You should keep yourself company for a bit. I'm going to speak with Mom," Xavier interrupted.
The bright lighting in the massive living room shined onto the father-son duo, who clearly had clashing interests
in their conversation.
Shane had retired since Xavier took over the Fulton family's businesses. While Shane gradually grew out of sync
with work, Xavier buried his head in work all day. Because of that, the two seldom communicated with each
other.
Their disconnection grew, especially when Xavier moved out after getting married. At that point, Xavier only
visited Fulton Manor on Saturdays every week if he wasn't busy. Even when he did cover, he spent most of
his tdiscussing work with Tamara. Sometimes, when Xavier was too busy, he wouldn't even show up. That
led to even less. communication between him and Shane.
Shane dumped the chess pieces aside and fell into deep thought as he watched Xavier go upstairs. He
murmured, "I only retired because | wanted to spend more twith my wife. It wasn't because | intended to
start trouble for Xavier's family." At the conservatory, Lily plucked a few dwarf sunflowers and trimmed their
stems.
Edith sat on the chair aside and smiled at the former. "What other flowers do you like? I'll grow them here."
The starry sky was visible from the conservatory at night, and the fragrance of lush floral blooms filled the space.

pluck sother flowers, make them into an arrangement, and place them in your room?"
"Sure." Edith felt more pleased to see Lily happy. Those lilies will bloom in a few days. By then, we'll turn them
into dry flowers and place them in Glenview Villa."

That specific bedroom wasn't in Lily and Xavier's current home..
The Fulton family owned many houses. To demonstrate their respect toward Lily, their daughter-in-law, they
purchased another house, Glenview Villa, as a wedding gift for her and Xavier before the wedding. Because
Glenview Villa had just been built and was still unfurnished, Xavier and Lily hadn't moved in.
Lilly was bitter at the mention of Glenview Villa. She had designed Glenview Villa's interiors based on her
personal preferences. Lily was busy decorating the interior every day for the three months before her wedding-
She didn't reference the latest interior styles. Instead, she designed every last
detail to ensure
it was one of a kind. Glenview Villa was the hshe once fantasized about living in and decorated with her
bare hands. Yet, she never got the chance to live in it. Even so, she still agreed with Edith's suggestion. "Okay."
Lily trimmed the stems of the sunflowers and a couple of other flowers. Then, she accompanied Edith to place
the floral arrangement in Edith's room. About half an hour passed before dinner was ready.
Lily, Edith, and Shane had long been seated at the dining table. Meanwhile, Tamara and Xavier were so busy
chatting about work that they were late.
Xavier pulled the chair beside Lily and
sat on it. He took in her side profite

whl Lily and Edith had chatted
about because Lily was all smiles.
He scoffed in his heart while coldly narrowing his eyes. He wondered if he was a poor judge of character or if Lily
was just too good at concealing herself.
Lily had tested his patience several times recently. Yet, she managed to win over everyone in the Fulton family.
Even Tamara, who was stern, bore a slight smile upon seeing Lily.
