The next morning, Loretta came downstairs expecting to find the dining room quiet.
Instead, Julian was already seated at the breakfast table, casually eating as though he had been staying at the Goodman estate for years.
Kevin sat at the head of the table, looking as composed as ever.
Loretta blinked. Given how Kevin did not even allow his family members to enter the estate without his permission, she thought Julian would leave after the movie the previous night.
"Good morning," she greeted as she stepped into the dining room.
Both men looked up.
"Good morning," Julian replied cheerfully.
Kevin gave a brief nod.
Loretta walked over and took her usual seat. She glanced at Julian.
"I thought you were leaving last night?"
"Why? Are you chasing me?" Julian asked as he reached for another piece of toast.
Loretta immediately waved her hands to mean no.
