Earlier that evening, the villa adjacent to Blissfield Villa blazed with opulent lighting, every corner screaming wealth and privilege.
Lillian had barely settled in, craving nothing more than an undisturbed night's rest, when Heidi appeared at her doorstep with Carry trailing behind.
The moment Lillian cracked open the door, Carry launched herself forward, tiny arms wrapping around Lillian's legs like a koala. "Grandma Lillian, please can I sleep over tonight?" she chirped, bouncing with excitement.
Zain had phoned Carry earlier, explaining that he and Miss Joanna would be tied up with business obligations until late, instructing her to retire early.
But sleep eluded the restless child, and she figured maybe Lillian's presence would chase away her restlessness.
She'd practically begged Heidi to smuggle her over to the neighboring villa without a fuss.
