Chapter 318

By the time they wrapped everything up, it was pushing eleven. Elizabeth and Amanda took the day off to drive Lily back home. Lily had actually taken the bus by herself, which threw Elizabeth for a loop.

On the drive, Elizabeth couldn’t help but say, “Lily, don’t go out alone like that again, especially without anyone with you. It’s really dangerous.” The Tudor family had a big name, and Lily was a big deal in society. If some creep decided to mess with her, it could spell trouble for the whole Tudor clan.

“Yeah, I used to have you around, but now I don’t,” Lily pouted from the back seat, tapping away on her phone.

Elizabeth glanced back and sighed, “Lily, you have a butler.”

“What good is a butler? He’s not family,” Lily huffed, putting her phone away and crossing her arms.

Elizabeth was quiet for a few seconds. “Seriously, just don’t go out alone anymore, okay?”

Lily just stared at Elizabeth. Elizabeth looked back while waiting at a red light and asked, “Okay?” Lily didn’t answer, which meant she’d probably still do her own thing.

“Lily, if you don’t listen, I’m not gonna look out for you anymore,” Elizabeth had to lay down the law.

Lily finally gave in, “Alright, fine. I won’t go out by myself anymore.”

Elizabeth nodded and smiled. “Good.” They pulled up to the Tudor Mansion soon after. Lily lived there with Elara and Blake. The place was massive.

As soon as Elizabeth’s car rolled up, the villa’s door swung open, and Timothy Reed came rushing out, grinning, “Welcome back, Mrs. Lily Tudor.”

Elizabeth was helping Lily out of the car and nodded at Timothy. “Timothy, long time no see.” Timothy nodded and followed them inside.

Elizabeth gave Timothy a heads-up, “Lily’s not in the best shape, so don’t let her go out alone from now on.”

Timothy threw up his hands, looking helpless. Lily never listened to him anyway!

“Don’t blame him,” Lily said, pouring herself a glass of water.

Elizabeth sighed, “Alright.”

“Did you get all the groceries I asked for?” Lily asked Timothy.

Timothy nodded right away. “Yes, Mrs. Lily Tudor, got everything.”

“Great,” Lily said. “I wanna have lunch with Elizabeth. You guys can take a break.” Lily waved them off.

Elizabeth walked into the living room. The mansion was decked out, surrounded by greenery, with huge windows showing off the beautiful outdoors.

“Lily, what do you wanna eat? I’ll cook,” Elizabeth said, heading into the kitchen, washing her hands, and rummaging through the fridge. Lily trailed behind her. Elizabeth still knew her way around the place.

Elizabeth turned to see Lily leaning against the door, looking all sad. “Elizabeth, I really don’t want you to leave.”

Elizabeth chuckled, “You say that again.”

“Since you can’t decide, I’ll just whip something up,” Elizabeth started pulling out ingredients. Everything was fresh and ready to go.

“You must’ve seen the news this morning,” Lily sighed. “It’s so frustrating.”

Elizabeth didn’t say anything, just kept prepping the food. Seeing Elizabeth stay quiet, Lily felt like she couldn’t get the words out. Elizabeth was a pro in the kitchen, so she was quick.

In less than half an hour, she had four dishes ready. Lily tried to help but got shooed out by Elizabeth. Elizabeth set the last dish on the table.

“Lily, come sit,” Elizabeth called out.

Lily sighed, “Elizabeth, about Esme proposing to Alexander…”

“Lily, I think you should just let them be. Alexander really loves Esme,” Elizabeth’s voice came from the kitchen, a bit louder.
