Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 344

Feeling particularly exhausted, Lillian decided not to return to the Mercer family home that evening.

In her heart, she no longer considered it her home. It wasn't a safe harbor where she could rest when she was weary.

So, after finishing her work, Lillian instructed her driver to take her to Halfridge Villas.

She called the landline at the Mercer estate to inform the staff that she wouldn't be coming back for the night.

When she didn't appear at the dinner table, the Mercer men showed a rare moment of concern.

The maid briefly explained, then served the food.

"Isn't Lillian unwell? Since she's moved back home, why is she always out and about?"

Brandon was especially annoyed with his father today. With Sabrina and Bella also absent from the dinner table, there was no one to divert the conversation.

The three men were clearly on edge, and they used Lillian as a pretext to take passive-aggressive jabs at each other.

Brandon said, "Lillian has more than just herself to worry about. She has Grandma and Mom to think of. She has to take care of them, right?

If you're so concerned, Dad, why don't you spend a few million dollars to renovate the house, like they did at Halfridge Villas, and bring Grandma and Mom back to live here?"

Colin, who had been looking grim, suddenly burst out laughing.
