Before Cordy could speak, Zoe was already excited and asked, "Is John impotent?"Cordy was speechless.Did Zoe really just ask John's ex—right in front of John's current girlfriend—about how he was in bed?!She thought to herself then that Jay had really been pampering Zoe to no end."Shouldn't you ask Wendy about that instead?" she asked.Zoe came to her senses and turned toward Wendy."Of course we are compatible." Wendy smiled gingerly. "I mean… John is such a stud."Zoe was actually a little embarrassed just then.The young really did not watch their language these days, did they?She then turned to find Cordy looking perfectly calm."Sorry, I need the ladies' room." Wendy excused herself right then, worried that the topic was spiraling out of control.After she left, Zoe kept staring at Cordy.Cordy was speechless again. "What are you staring at me for?""No, I wasn't." Zoe denied it. "I just thought it's nice being young."Cordy knew that Zoe was deliberately messin

"Okay."Cordy picked up her knife and fork and started eating slowly.She was going to argue but noticed upon a closer look that the food really were all her favorites. "You didn't have to make my favorites exclusively," she said, seemingly offhandedly. "I'm not picky with food…""I feel guilty imposing on you today, so take this as a token of gratitude."Cordy said nothing else at that and treated it as an actual polite gesture."By the way, didn't Wendy say she was coming? Why isn't she here?" Richard asked.Cordy looked up at Richard just then—her son really liked Wendy, did he not?"She always sleeps in. Leave her be—don't disturb her now," John said flatly.Cordy somehow thought she heard a tinge of tenderness in his tone."Okay." Richard nodded. "What about the afternoon?""That depends if she has other arrangements. She'll be here if there aren't any.""Okay."And with that, they finished brunch, with Richard and John conversing intermittently, while Cordy remained

Understanding that she should be grateful, Cordy moved to stand next to John.Wendy raised the smartphone again and said, "Three, two, one, smile!"She even took several more after that."Alright!" Wendy exclaimed when she was done, and she passed Richard his phone back. "Check it out. Are they good?"Richard scrolled through them and quickly said, "It's great, Wendy. Thank you.""Oh, it's nothing," Wendy replied.Things were perfectly harmonious, and Cordy felt like she was not a part of it.However, Richard would always reach out to her, always paying attention to her mood like he did now."Mommy, can I film a video of you and Daddy working together?"Cordy was going to say no, but John agreed to it right away. "Sure."Cordy glanced between John and Wendy, the latter who shrugged nonchalantly. "Of course—anything that makes you happy, Dicky.""You're the best, Wendy.""Of course," Wendy said smugly. "And I'll treat you the same even after I have a soccer team with your da

Wendy continued, "Oh, stop teasing me. John is handsome and great in every way, and I'm lucky to have him, but I can't help it, y'know? My preference for freshness and excitement is inborn. There's no stopping me."Oh, don't give me that crap. I'll try to slip out later—I won't miss out on such a stud."Wendy kept chatting for a while, laughing mischievously from time to time.Cordy avoided her in turn and headed out to the back garden, where she found John and Richard setting up the barbecue set.The back garden had also been decorated elaborately to look romantic and homely. Richard eagerly called out to her, "Mommy! You're finished with work? Daddy and I have prepared dinner—it's almost done now. I was just going to get you.""Yeah, I'm finished with work," Cordy replied and walked up to them.John was focused on preparing the food, while Cordy could not resist sliding several glances at him.Richard laughed just then. "Mommy, why are you staring at Daddy? Do you find him h

Richard saw Cordy and quickly put a finger on his lips so she would stay quiet.He certainly looked upset and was reluctant to have John woken up.Cordy pursed her lips and said softly, "We can't let your daddy sleep on the couch the whole night…""I'll ask him to sleep in one of the rooms," Richard quickly said."No, what I mean is, shouldn't we ask Wendy to get him? He's drunk, and he needs someone to take care of him when it's this late.""Can't I do it?" Richard asked, a little disappointed. "You're still a child.""Can't you do it?""That's inappropriate considering our current relationship," Cordy said seriously.Richard was unhappy about it, but he nodded tamely regardless.Cordy texted Wendy, since they exchanged numbers earlier.However, Wendy did not answer, so Cordy called her.It took a while for Wendy to answer, and it was very noisy on the other end for a while before things finally quieted down."What is it, Cordy?" Wendy asked."John got drunk and fell as
