CHAPTER 52 The Proposal

　　~Lillian's Pov~

　　I went out of the courtroom to meet Heckim and his men, he was seated at the lounge downstairs.

　　Mom was beside him, and she was offering him a glass of wine which he refused to accept.

　　I folded my hands beneath my breast and ambled towards them when I came down from the stairs.

　　What made him come here? What sort of mischief was he up to this time?

　　"Lillian, you are here," Mom announced when I approached them. She had a small smile on her face. I was glad that when I returned home she was able to get out of bed and share a few words with me.

　　She must've come downstairs when she heard Heckim was here.

　　Heckim jerked up from the chair he was sitting on. He quickly grabbed the bouquet that he kept neatly at the hand of the chair and stretched it towards me.

　　"What is the meaning of this?"

　　Mom came to my side and tugged my arm to accept the flowers, I rolled my eyes and reluctantly took the flowers and tossed them at Mom.
