Lily "I should be able to say no, right?" I muttered, placing my phone down, a picture of my hand bearing the Frost signet ring displayed on there. The actual ring was now locked up in a vault back in Glanbury, but it didn't make it any less mine, to use as I saw fit or to protect the family. And by family, it meant the Frosts. I wasn't even part of it! You are Asher's mother. My mind gladly supplied, making me blow out a breath. "You should," Derby agreed, sipping on her orange juice. "But I just don't know if you can. I mean, you already said you've never been able to say no to a gift from Wallace." "This is not a gift," I grumbled, jabbing a finger on my phone's screen. "I'll say. It's definitely more than a gift." Isabella scooted to my side, draping her arm over my shoulders.
