Master of his heart

Chapter 25
Bricite took a deep breath, the tension in the room palpable-like she'd crashed a

daughter. Belle's next words rooted her to the spot.
Cameron, isn't it time to make things official with Lillian? I saw you two hugging
three years ago. Surely, you haven't let her slip away, have you?”
Cameron was taken aback. Brielle was the last person he expected to bring this
up. After Lall, Lisa had made it clear that the idea of her best friend becoming her

itice mood around the table shifted. Miranda's face lit up as she gaped in
disbelief. Lillian was such a wonderful person, entirely deserving of her son. If
they got married, Lillian would officially be part of the Haywood fold.
