“Let me introduce someone important,” Cameron said, his voice full of pride. “This is our daughter, Lydia.”
Benjamin stood there, stunned and speechless. He couldn’t even get a single word out.
Mabel just rolled her eyes. “Stop being an eyesore there. Go check in at the police station.”
That’s when it finally clicked for Benjamin. The reason their plan fell apart was simple. They had never really figure Lydia out at all.
Once Benjamin was gone, everyone returned to the main hall. Suddenly, Mr. Robinson’s excited voice rang out. “Wait, is this… Is this an painting by Owen?”
Mrs. Robinson’s face lit up. “It is! And it’s a brand new piece. Look, the date says it was painted just yesterday. That’s incredible!”
William walked in and asked, “Is this really a painting by Owen?”
Mrs. Robinson nodded, looking thrilled. “Yes. Your dad’s been obsessed with Owen’s work these past few years, but Owen is so mysterious. They almost never appear in public, and it’s impossible to get them to take commissions. I can’t believe Kylie and Cameron brought not one, but two of their paintings today.”
Kylie and Cameron looked at each other, confused. “We didn’t bring any paintings by Owen.”
Everyone immediately turned to look at Blake and Elliot.
They both shook their heads. “Not us.”
Owen’s paintings definitely weren’t in their stack of gifts either.
So now, every eye in the room landed on Lydia.
Lydia stayed calm and said, “Grandpa, I’m glad you like them.”
Mr. Robinson looked surprised. “Lydia, do you know Owen?”
Lydia blinked. “Well… Connor knows them. Yesterday, I asked Connor to take me to visit.”
