They were lead in to the house by the butler in the entrance
The living room was decorated magnificent as ever given off their richness with a touch of elegance in it
The family pictures were hang on the painted white wall
The interior of the sitting room was royal blue with a golden furniture's and some expensive collections
As they walked in, lily has been quite and glance around, she recalled a distance memory
[Flashback]
A young lily was running around her mother with a older boy
"Stop running you may fall down "Elizabeth lily mother warned
Lily roll her eyes and said innocently
"It is Edward, mama "
The boy was speechless by her claim and explained his reason
"Aunt, she took my toy"
"Lil,I told you don't take what is not yours.
Hand over the toy to me "Elizabeth gently corrected her and the girl returned the toy
But little Edward generously give her the toy and that cause Elizabeth to smile and rub both their hair lovingly
It was her last visit to Lewis family then.
Though the house was decorated was a little different,but the structure was the same it was a lewis family generation residence
[Flashback ended]

She was both genuine and a kind woman
Lucy was first to let go of the hug reluctantly
"How have you been baby girl "she asked sweetly with a genuine concern tone
Lily look at the older woman and felt rushed of emotion in heart and felt a little glad that a person care about her wellbeing
So instead of being rigid like her usual she chose to replied honestly with a sincerity
