Chapter 179

• When Pedro arrived back at his mansion, he was greeted by an unexpected sight. The entire estate was adorned with an elaborate array of lights and flowers, creating a magical ambiance. From the grand gates to every corner of the sprawling mansion, decorations radiated splendor. Vibrant flowers in a rainbow of colors were carefully arranged, lending the place a festive charm.
• The bodyguards stood in a disciplined line, their heads bowed in respect, while Uncle Noel waited by the grand entrance, a wide smile lighting up his face.
• Taking in the sight, Pedro was momentarily unsure whether to laugh or cry. This extravagant welcome was meant to celebrate the arrival of the "Queen," but she wasn’t with him. He hadn’t brought Lily back. Torn between disappointment and a strange sense of contentment, he wondered: Should he mourn the fact that Lily wasn’t by his side, or should he cherish the precious moments they had shared, fleeting yet meaningful?
