Billy's words successfully caught Esther's attention. She reluctantly opened the car door and sat in the back seat, avoiding engaging in conversation with him.

Glancing at Esther through the rearview mirror, Billy noticed how different she looked from her mother, Faye. Perhaps it was because Esther resembled her biological father more. Billy believed that he had fulfilled his duty over the years, treating Esther neither well nor poorly.

However, when conflicts arose between Esther and Liliane, Billy prioritized Liliane's protection.

The two of them sat in a quiet cafe. In front of them, a girl dressed in a formal gown sat at a black piano, her slender fingers gracefully dancing on the black and white keys, producing enchanting melodies that filled the serene space.

"Blue Mountain," Billy said.

The waiter politely asked, "And for the lady?"
