"Pretending to be ignorant?" Colin suddenly used his fingers to poke at the sole of her foot under the table.Eranthe, dressed in a slim-fitting skirt, found it awkward to sit cross-legged. Instead, she knelt down, occasionally stretching her tender feet.When Colin poked her, she immediately shot him a glare, "Mr. Rodriguez, please maintain a normal social distance."Colin seemed contemplative, "I prefer negative-distance socializing."For some reason, the word "socializing" gained a certain meaning between his lips.Eranthe really didn't want to understand it instantly, but she couldn't help but grasp the implied meaning in Colin's words, "Are you always like this in your daily life, pretending?"Colin's choice of words with Zora was likely deliberate, ensuring that her metaphorical filters remained intact. It’s interesting.Colin remained noncommittal to her words, calmly enjoying his meal. It wasn't evident before that he enjoyed eating this much. Now, he was savoring each bite."

But, obeying, being sensible, and listening were the three things he wouldn't compromise on.She had to assert herself as the owner of the house.Just as she was thinking about it, the sobering tea was ready. She subconsciously carried two cups out.The bathroom door opened. Colin, bare-chested, was drying his hair with her towel, and his lower body was wrapped in her bath towel.Eranthe's heart skipped a beat. "Why are you using my towel to wrap yourself up?! How can I use it now?"Colin raised an eyebrow. "It's fine. Then I get rid of it."He pretended to peel it off, and Eranthe immediately waved her hand, "No need! Keep it on, consider it a gift from me!"Colin looked at the hangover tea on the table, "So polite?"Eranthe rolled her eyes, "Both of these cups are mine.""Drinking too much, aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep?" Colin dried his hair, and water droplets followed his movements, a few sliding down along the texture of his muscles.Eranthe cleared her throat, "I

Zora continued scrolling through her phone screen, examining the people Eranthe was connected with. Apart from Dylan, who was currently in prison, only one other person, Scarlett, caught Zora's attention.She found Scarlett, who seemed to have a contentious relationship with Eranthe. With a sly smile, Zora saved Scarlett's phone number. Regardless of whether the woman tonight was truly the secretary or not, Zora was determined to make Eranthe pay for the frustration she caused her.Because of Zora's call, Eranthe and Colin had another tumultuous night. When Eranthe woke up the next day, she was disturbed by the commotion outside.Sitting up in bed, she checked her phone and was relieved to see that it was still early.After getting dressed, she went out and found Colin already sitting at the dining table, with a black suitcase by the door.Eranthe's heart skipped a beat. Colin said, "Get ready if you're awake."She pointed at the suitcase, "Are you going on a business trip?"Colin lif

Eranthe frowned, "Even if I withdraw the complaint, Dylan won't be released. The things he did behind my back, hiding them from me during and after our relationship, even if I don't pursue them, I can't make decisions on whether he should be released.""Miss. Taylor, as long as you have the intention, you can plead with Colin. As long as Colin helps, Dylan will definitely get a reduced sentence. He can come out earlier. His life has just begun. He's only in his twenties; it can't end like this."As soon as Eranthe heard Colin's name, her gaze turned cold, "Mrs. Miller, I can't control Colin, and besides, whatever Dylan did behind my back and got caught for is not something Colin can frame. Dylan is an adult; he should know that actions have consequences. Instead of focusing on this, you should think about how to move forward."Seeing that Eranthe didn't agree, Alice knelt down abruptly, startling Eranthe, who stood up abruptly, "Mrs. Miller, please get up quickly. I really can't make

Jayden glanced up slightly, and Susan exclaimed, "Really none? Then I need to help you find one. This girl, the twenties are the best time, not being in a relationship is not acceptable."Urania laughed, "Young people nowadays have different thoughts. They think being single is good. If Eranthe hasn't found a good match, I won't force her to find one."Eranthe escaped to the kitchen and started washing the fruit. Someone followed her, and Eranthe thought it was Urania. She turned and said, "Aunt, did your business trip go smoothly this time?"Jayden walked up beside her. "Need help?"Eranthe was startled. "Why didn't you make a sound? I thought it was my aunt."With this distraction, the awkwardness between them diminished a bit. Jayden took the apples from her plate. "Do I scare you?""No." Eranthe replied casually. "Do you have a girlfriend?"Jayden glanced at her. "No.""Really? Back in school, all those girls used to chase after you. I thought you would have had several girlfriend
