Madeline's POV
We had to break our conversation as Lilith entered, her eyes immediately finding us by the staircase. She smiled in a way that made me feel so loved. It was as if she wanted to protect me from the world...or maybe it was all just in my head.
"Look at you both," she said, her tone amused but laced with a slight teasing tone that she usually carried. "I never knew my son could be jealous."
And I swear that I heard Joyce chuckle.
Heat flushed across my cheeks, and I was almost glad that Joyce's mum, Candy, called him to help her with something.
To my surprise, Sebastian walked in behind her. Where did he come from?
His tall frame made a soft shadow on the marble floor below. Dressed in a classic black suit, he looked as though he'd aged backwards, handsome, polished and even elite.
It was never easy to guess Sebastian's age; there was something mysterious about him, the way he carried himself.
