By the time Lilia and Jean arrived back at the Lakeside Villa, it was nearly seven in the evening.
Lilia had been following the commercial shooting for an hour in the cold weather. She was worried that she might actually catch a cold, so she rushed to the bathroom as soon as she entered the house.
After taking a bath in hot water for 20 minutes, the steam dyed Lilia's face red. When she returned to her bedroom, the heater was on. Jean must have prepared it so that the bedroom would warm up by the time she finished showering.
Lilia casually dried her hair before ponying it up. Then she wore a sky blue nightgown with a skirt that reached her knees.
When she came down to find Jean, she unexpectedly saw Mellisa in the living room. Her sister was sitting on the sofa with her legs tilted, a cigarette rested between the tips of her slender fingers. Mellisa looked relaxed, as if she was in her own house.
