Gilbert knocked at the door. A maid opened the door, smiling at him "I'm here to see Lillian Chester Gilbert spoke, The maid let Gilbert in, guiding him towards the room she was in. The maid parted from Gilbert before the door as the raven haired boy lingered there for a moment. He could already hear her voice as she was speaking to her father.

"Gilbert!" Lillian called out, smiling widely, She walked over to him hugging him tight. Gilbert touched her back with one hand to acknowledge her hug as he then stepped back.

I didn't except you here, Did I miss that we were going somewhere?" Lily spoke, smiling at her father briefly. Gilbert shook his head with a clearing of his throat.

"No... I actually wanted to speak to you... in private..." Gilbert said in a soft voice, looking at her father then.

If I may?" – her father nodded, getting up from his chair. – "I have to be somewhere anyway." – he joked out.
