Brandon had also received Bella’s invitation in advance.
Everyone in the family had.
Last night, the two brothers had moved from the hotel back into the Mercer family estate.

In the morning, Sabrina instructed the kitchen to make a large breakfast, and thankfully, the brothers were gracious enough to eat at home.
