"Eh?" Liana's eyes widened. She looked at Gloria, who also looked up from her book in mild surprise.
"Did we do something wrong?" Gloria asked, adjusting her glasses as her mind raced through possible offenses.
"Nya? No! But it's important, nya! Lianaaa! Let's go! Or Mother-in-law will be mad at me!" Mimi tugged at Liana's sleeve, her eyes wide and pleading, her tail swishing anxiously behind her.
Liana exhaled softly, smoothing her dress and offering a faint, reassuring smile. "Alright… let's go. We wouldn't want to keep Lady Francesca waiting." She stood gracefully, her movements calm despite the sudden summons.
"Mimi?" Javier asked, a hint of concern in his voice. "Why is my mother suddenly calling all of you?"
"Nya? Secret~ Tehehe." Mimi gave him a playful wink before bouncing toward the door.
Liana walked over to Javier and planted a soft, lingering kiss on his cheek. "Young Master, we'll be going."
