ผู้เขียน: Good Night
"She hit Mason?" Cynthia's gaze wavered slightly.

"It was just a bit of a couple's quarrel," Kyle quickly corrected himself.

Cynthia lowered her gaze and nodded. After that, she turned around and said to the owner, "Sir, I'll order exactly what she did. Just give me exactly the same things!"

In high society, there was a lot of overlap between families and their social circles. If both she and Summer were giving out things that were exactly the same, then the one who sent them later would be embarrassed.

However, Cynthia never expected the owner to smile sheepishly and say, "I'm sorry, but the Hartford family placed the order in advance. These are all top-grade items, and we only have one set each. We won't be able to restock them before the New Year, either."

Cynthia's brows furrowed so slightly that it was barely noticeable. "Then, I'll check out some other shops and come back later."

After that, Cynthia turned around and left.

Phoebe was walking beside Summer, but the two of t

    "Got it!" Summer hugged Kristen. "Don't blame yourself, okay?""Okay." Kristen nodded.After that, Summer let go and happily went off to look for Phoebe.In dramas and novels, the first snowfall was always portrayed as romantic and poetic.This was Summer's first winter after being reborn. Those three years in the asylum, every winter had felt unbearable. The floor was freezing cold, and the thin, ripped blankets offered no warmth. The meals had been frozen like lumps of ice, so each bite was hard to swallow.Summer stared out the window, quietly looking forward to today's first snow.Phoebe muttered as she planned out what to buy, "Today is Mr. Hartford Senior's last day at work. Let's make something he likes tonight."Henry was a peculiar old man.He didn't care much for imported foods. Instead, he was obsessed with locally grown produce from farmers and fresh catch from the river.That was why Phoebe preferred going to the street market. While other wealthy households usu

    "I know," Mason said as he pulled Cynthia's hand away. "I'm not angry at you. I just want to give you some space to think about things.""I won't get angry anymore. Why don't you just stay and have lunch with me?" Cynthia asked in a hurry."Next time," Mason rejected without any hesitation.Even if it wasn't for Summer's sake, he needed to let Cynthia know that he wouldn't be swayed by her emotions.Cynthia watched as Mason left.He'd changed…He wasn't like that back at the rehab center.It must have been Summer. Summer must have forced Mason to act like this.Cynthia was incredibly frustrated.There was a mirror in the room, and she accidentally caught a glimpse of herself in it—that face of hers that was nearly identical to Xena's.Cynthia muttered through gritted teeth. "He said he never loved you, Xena. Then, what's the point of me having this face?"Mason didn't love Xena. So even if she became Xena's substitute, what was the point?Cynthia grabbed a porcelain ornamen

    Mason's words clearly showed his intent to stand up for Summer.Cynthia's expression soured slightly. "I understand. Mason, I'm in an awkward position. If I stood in her shoes, I would definitely not want my boyfriend to be so close to his ex-fiancée's sister. On top of that, I'm relying on you financially right now. That's why I apologized to her."After a pause, Cynthia added, "I never thought there'd still be such a firm line between the two of you."Mason looked up at Cynthia. "Firm line?""She said it herself. You are you, and she is her. You don't interfere in each other's matters," Cynthia said.Mason's gaze lingered on Cynthia for a moment. "That's true for now. I haven't done enough for her yet to feel that we're past that point. I'm still working on it."Cynthia's eyes wavered slightly.What did he mean by that? Did he think he wasn't worthy of Summer?"Mason, Royal Financial Group is leagues ahead of Hartford Group. How could she possibly think you're not good enough

    After thinking it over, Summer ultimately decided not to hide how she felt about the situation.Because if she decided to hide it, and Cynthia truly harbored ill intentions toward her, then this forced tolerance would eventually be used as a weapon to drive a wedge between her and Mason."I know." Mason nodded gently."You don't need to tolerate anything for my sake, Summer. I want you to feel even freer when you're with me than when you're alone," he said earnestly. He walked over to her and tightly grasped her hand.Summer looked at him and finally smiled. "So I'm allowed to bully her, too?"Mason held her hand tightly. "When have you been the kind to mistreat others for no reason? I know you. If people mess with you, you never do anything to them."Summer felt her heart grow warm.Honestly, ever since she first met Cynthia, she hadn't been as calm as she outwardly seemed. She had been quite unsettled.After Mason said all of that, Summer finally calmed down."Mason, aren't

    Summer didn't even bother putting on an act."She hates me, doesn't she?" Cynthia asked Kyle tearfully.Kyle hurriedly explained, "Ms. Turner, Ms. Hartford is just a straightforward person. She didn't mean anything bad by it. It's just that she doesn't like people apologizing to her or thanking her. That's one of her pet peeves. You just accidentally did it to her. That's all."Cynthia didn't reply as she silently walked away.…That evening, Summer and Mason had already made plans to have dinner together.As soon as Mason finished up at work, he went straight to meet her. To prevent any trouble, he even booked out an entire restaurant.When they met, the two of them shared a long embrace.Just as they were about to sit down and talk, Mason's phone rang.Out of the corner of her eye, Summer could see that it was Cynthia calling. She silently got up and returned to her seat.Mason answered the call. "Cynthia, what's going on?""Mason, where are you? I want to see you," Cynthi

    "Didn't he get a few million dollars?" Summer frowned."He hasn't even been back to the village yet. He went off gambling with some shady friends instead. I heard he lost everything in just half a month!" Phoebe huffed.Summer shook her head. "So what's Bailey planning to do now?""This time, what happened with Paul finally woke her up. She'd been bullied by that family her whole life, and she's had enough. She talked to her sons and daughter-in-law about it, and they're planning on moving to the capital to open a supermarket," Phoebe explained.She added, "As for Ruddy, they're completely done with him.""Good for her!" Summer gave a thumbs-up.Honestly, even if Bailey had decided to take care of Ruddy, Summer wasn't in the position to say anything. After all, everyone had their own life to live, and it wasn't her place to interfere.But she was happy that Bailey could finally escape that mess.Bailey was only in her early 50s. She still had many good years ahead. If she went
