Chapter 92

• The tension between Morgan and Casey was strong throughout the evening, but Taylor and Lily chose to ignore it entirely, focusing instead on enjoying their dinner. The subtle exchanges and sharp glances between the couple didn’t go unnoticed, but neither sibling made any comment. Instead, they kept the mood light, pretending everything was perfectly normal.
• Morgan, desperate to steer the conversation in a more neutral direction, brought up an upcoming business project. However, both Taylor and Lily responded with little enthusiasm, their half-hearted answers doing nothing to mask their disinterest. Frustrated, Morgan clenched his fists under the table, masking his annoyance with a strained smile.
• When the meal finally concluded, Lily rose gracefully and offered a bright smile. “This one’s on me,” she said, heading to the counter to settle the bill. Once outside the restaurant, she stopped abruptly, turning to her parents with an enigmatic expression.
