In the middle night of the party, my eyes caught Romina standing beside Lilith, conversing with each other. They looked perfectly at ease with each other, looking like their bond as future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Lilith's smile was demure, her posture flawless. She really knew how to please others and looked elegant, which easily charmed Romina's heart.
My throat tightened. Romina, Redmund's mother. And Lilith, her future daughter-in-law...
If only the wound of betrayal were still fresh, I would definitely be depressed that Romina seemed like Lilith, even though she wasn't even Redmund's mate. I would even wish that I were in Lilith's position, talking to Romina.
I snapped back to my thoughts when Redmund approached them, approaching his mother as he kissed her on her cheek.
