Lily Shaw leaned against the door, her head bowed, eyes dull as she stared at the floor, lost in thought about the past, about Miles Morgan, and her mood sank.
Before her mother had fallen out with Justin Shaw, Lily always felt she was the happiest person in the world, she had so much.
A beautiful and kind mother, a handsome and considerate father, Lady Lowell who doted on her like a pearl, Uncle Raymond Lowell who treated her as his own, and so many others who spoiled and protected her.
But after her mother discovered Crystal Shaw existed, she could no longer endure Justin Shaw's betrayal and asked for a divorce.
After signing the divorce papers with Justin, her mother took her to Aethel, where they spent a time that could hardly be called happy.
That was the first time Lily realized she was not the happiest person after all.
It was the first setback she ever faced.
