When Xavier returned after finishing his call, he found that Lily had already finished her meal and gone upstairs. Lily hadn't eaten nach. Most of the dishes on the table were untouched.
Xavier's Lips were pressed tightly together. He had lost his appetite, perhaps because he had grown used to Lily's cooking "Clear the table," he instructed Emmun Emma complied, tidying up as she spoke. "Mr. Fulton, I'll be heading htonight, so I won't disturb you two
"I'll cback early tomorrow morning to prepare breakfast If you'd like anything, just letknow in advance,"
