Before Matilda could say anything, Miles's voice drifted in from behind. "Why would my sister-in-law even like you?"
Lillian flinched, her body completely stiff.
Both Matilda and Walter turned, surprised to hear Miles-he'd just called Leslie "sister-in-law."
That was a first.
Before, he always sounded reluctant, like he was forced into it by Broderick. But now?
That tone wasn't quite right.
Matilda's face fell a little. "Miles, is that any way to talk to Lillian? You know what that Leslie girl's like-arrogant and spoiled. Lillian used to be perfectly fine, and ever since Leslie showed up, how many times has she cried?"
Miles let out a laugh, his expression unreadable. "Guess throwing a fit really pays off, huh?"
Lillian's face turned pale.
