Chapter - 92
Jacob smiled as he watched Lily's wide eyes take in the luxurious surroundings of Althea's mansion. From the ornate bannisters to the crystal chandeliers, everything about the place exuded wealth and refinement. But what touched him more was Lily's genuine wonder, her innocence shining brightly even in a place designed to impress.
"And Miss Althea," Lily continued with a dreamy sigh. "She's so kind! She said I could visit whenever I wanted and even had one of her servants show me a room. She said they'd decorate it just for me, and it'll be my room whenever I decide to stay the night. Can you believe that? A room of my own, in a place like this!"
Lily's excitement made Jacob chuckle softly. Without thinking, he reached out and rested his hand on her head, ruffling her hair gently. Lily turned to him as they reached the bottom of the stairs.
