"It's alright." John smiled. "Just having her near is fine."Cordy looked on, watching him smile with such tenderness and contentment…She could hardly describe how she felt just then.It turned out that John loved her with all his heart, while she thought he was dating Wendy.The scene then changed to Richard, John, and Wendy discussing how to take a family photo.They talked for a while until Cordy arrived, and they took the family with just Cordy, John, and Richard.She could not help glancing at John, noticing that he was nervously raising his hand and lowering it repeatedly, refraining from putting it on her shoulder.The scene changed again to the afternoon when John was baking a cake.Richard was hurrying him, saying, "Mommy's coming downstairs. Wendy, get clingy with Daddy."Then, as Wendy snuggled up against John as he worked, Cordy remembered that it was exactly what she saw when she arrived at the kitchen at the time.So it was all just an act.As she watched the

John returned to their room after finishing his bath and saw that Cordy was not done with hers, just as he had expected.He did not hurry her and sat against the headboard instead, scrolling aimlessly through his phone as he waited for Cordy.He was clearly distracted, tensing up whenever he sensed movement from the bathroom.However, it was until after over ten minutes that Cordy finally opened the bathroom door, dressed in a pink bathrobe while having her wet hair wrapped in a towel, clearly having washed it.The bathrobe was a couple's set with the other being blue. John could not wear it since it was already in the bathroom after Cordy got in, so he wore a white one that was kept next door.He stared at Cordy, whose cheeks were still flushed after her bath, and her skin crystal fair under the lights.John could not help licking his dry lips—Cordy looked really appetizing at that very moment.Still, he did not give in to excitement and jump on her right away—instead, he walke

Zoe promptly hung up, while Cordy turned toward John and said, "Zoe and Jay have both returned to Levine Manor. Let's join them—Dicky's there too."John nodded, since they would not not get any sleep in peace.They got out of bed and started washing up.John then entered the bathroom first, telling Cordy, "Your clothes are in the closet room."Cordy headed over, and found the closet room so huge it could match their bedroom.She opened one of the closets to find rows of women's clothing arranged neatly, outnumbering John's clothes by a ton.Naturally, every piece of clothing was her size—John certainly made considerable effort preparing this house.As such, she wondered again how traumatizing it would be if she had rejected his proposal.Still, she did not mull for too long—the dust had settled, and everything was going to be better now.She picked a set of rather formal clothes and put on light makeup while John put on a suit.They got in the car together, with Cordy admirin

Zoe turned toward her gift envelope, expecting not even ten percent of Jay's, and opened it right in front of Nancy.However, Zoe found nothing inside her envelope and could blow up right then.What the hell…Nancy really knew how to upset her!Still, Nancy could tell what Zoe was thinking from the latter's reaction. "Keep looking.""For what?!" Zoe snapped, speechless. "Lint?!"She then felt something small inside—could Nancy insult her any further?!It had been years, but she was still so petty!"Just take out what's inside already!" Nancy snapped sternly then.She was not worried that Zoe would misunderstand, but she was really afraid that Zoe would be so pig-headed she would throw the envelope away. Zoe was certainly reluctant, but she had been obedient to Nancy for years and did as she was told.And when she did, she was stunned to find that it was not a lint but an emerald ring instead.It also looked so familiar she had the feeling that she had seen it before…"You

"But she's Grandma," Yelena said seriously."I look old, don't I?" Nancy asked a little grumpily—it would be upsetting whether she was addressed as grandma or otherwise."No." Yelena shook her head and explained seriously, "You are Mommy's mommy, so that means you're Grandma."Nancy was speechless for a moment, and she snapped, "Eat."She was certainly not bothered to waste her breath with a four-year-old brat, and she carried Yelena to another chair, bringing over a child's fork and spoon to feed her."I don't like cucumbers, Grandma," Yelena huffed. "I want meat.""Your hair will turn gray if you don't eat your greens.""Would that look bad?" Yelena asked."Yes.""But your hair is gray, Grandma," Yelena said, pointing at Nancy's hair.While Nancy was left speechless, Yelena demanded, "I want meat, Grandma."Nancy had no choice but to cut a slice of cod and put it on her plate.After she ate, Yelena said, "I want soup, Grandma. I'm thirsty."Nancy brought her a small bowl
