Lyndon fixed his gaze on Ellis, his tone even and controlled.

Lyndon, catching the tension, casually draped his arm around Filda and engaged warmly with his grandparents, drawing her close as if to shield her from the family storm. Their affection was palpable, radiating genuine warmth.
Scarlet's fingers tensed as she watched them, her eyes darting suspiciously.
She pondered whether Lyndon's heart truly belonged to Tilda or if he maintained a facade, given his enduring feelings for his late love, Rosanna. She thought Lyndon would never remarry.
