In the evening, Jennifer treated Quincy to dinner, and they went to the place where Quincy often bought yarn.Because Quincy came from a poor family, she knitted her sweaters which saved her a lot of money.After browsing the store, Jennifer bought some beautiful gray wool yarn at Quincy's suggestion.After they left the store, Quincy asked, "When do you plan to finish knitting?""Of course, the sooner the better." After some thought, Jennifer suggested, "It's the weekend tomorrow. How about you come to my place to teach me?"Quincy quickly refused, "I don't want to! I... I get nervous around Maxwell. I'm actually quite scared of him.""I'll be there with you." Jennifer linked arms with her. "Besides, he's almost always at the company and rarely stays home. Please, Quincy!"Unable to resist Jennifer's persuasion, Quincy reluctantly agreed.To give Maxwell a surprise, Jennifer asked Quincy to take the yarn back and bring it over the next day.Jennifer drove Quincy back to her d

Jennifer smiled. "You'll be happy to live in a cabin if it's with the person you love."After entering the house, Martha warmly welcomed Quincy.Jennifer was eager to learn how to knit the scarf. She had Martha bring the snacks and tea into the bedroom, and she began to lean from Quincy."You're just starting, so I'll teach you the simplest knitting method." To make it clear to Jennifer, Quincy moved slowly as she knitted while explaining.Jennifer watched her carefully, but when it came to her turn, she still couldn't do it nicely.An hour later, Quincy looked at the crooked lines Jennifer knitted and sighed. "Jennifer, you're supposed to be a top student. And you're always skilled in your experiments. Why can't you learn this right? That's too crooked!"Jennifer rolled her eyes. "You just had to seize the chance to tease me. Fine, tease me all you want, but I won't let you go unless you're done teaching me!""How about this? I'll knit for you instead. At your speed, you won't

Jennifer knew what Maxwell was referring to.She pouted sadly. "The university assigned us internships. I didn't have anything to do with the choice! Who knew I would be assigned to Dr. Lowe's cardiovascular surgery department?""I can tell you're pretty happy about it." Maxwell muttered, "Are you planning to apply for his graduate program too? You haven't mentioned any of this to me."Jennifer hadn't made up her mind yet. After all, there were limited spots in Nathan's graduate program, and she had fierce competition with students from other schools. She wasn't confident that she could get in.So, she pulled his hand and pouted. "Don't take Quincy's words to heart. I haven't made up my mind yet."Maxwell couldn't stay mad at her when he saw her pouting. He picked her up and plopped her on his lap. "Feed me.""What?" Jennifer was surprised but quickly reacted.With a blush, she took a pastry and fed it to him.Maxwell only took a few bites before cuddling her. "You should rest.

Maxwell tiptoed back to the bedroom.Jennifer was already asleep, the lamp casting a peaceful light upon her face.As he approached, he noticed the half-finished scarf by her pillow.Maxwell's eyes softened as he picked up the unfinished scarf. He carefully examined it.He thought of her question yesterday—why he wasn't wearing a scarf, and her unusual behavior these past two days.So, she wanted to surprise him.A small smile tugged at the corner of Maxwell's mouth.For some reason, Jennifer always brought him happiness, the kind he never felt before.He pecked her forehead gently and tried to tuck her hand back under the covers.Just then, he noticed the red spots on her fingers, evidence of her attempts at knitting the scarf. Without a doubt, these were from her attempts at knitting for the first time.Thinking of the trouble with Rachel, Maxwell felt even worse for Jennifer. He looked at her wounded fingers and felt a mixture of emotions.Just then, Jennifer opened her e

Quincy was intimidated by Maxwell's presence and nodded nervously. "We agreed to have lunch together.""Today, you'd best not say a word about what you saw earlier." Maxwell's tone was stern. "Otherwise, not even Jennifer can protect you, understand?"Quincy nodded at his threat. But deep down, she felt angry for Jennifer. So, she summoned her courage and asked, "Mr. Lance, how long do you intend to hide this from Jennifer? Isn't this unfair to her? Jennifer loves you."Maxwell had been having a bad impression of Quincy since she had caused trouble for Jennifer before. But he didn't expect she would speak up for Jennifer.Maxwell wasn't one to explain himself, but he decided to confess. "I just haven't found the right time to tell her. But I don't want her to hear it from someone else."Quincy sighed. "I thought you loved Jennifer, especially considering how good you were to her.""I do love her." Maxwell didn't hide anything.But he reminded her, "I hope you won't reveal anythi
