"Is Daniel gay?""Sophie—"Sophia gasped. "What if all this time he’s actually been after you, not me? You, Albert!" She covered her mouth in disbelief, while Albert shot her a sharp, cold glare.Sophia then chuckled. "I’m just kidding. I’m sure Daniel wasn’t serious either."Albert smirked faintly. "How can you be so sure?"Sophia tilted her head to the side. What Daniel said earlier might have been true, but she wasn’t entirely sure. "Daniel has been in love before. And, according to Daniel, she was beautiful."Albert initially didn’t want to care, but after hearing his wife’s comment, he turned to face her.

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Sophia froze upon hearing Albert’s confession. So all this time, Albert had been cooking and ordering steak for their dinners together because she liked it? Not because he liked it himself?But when had she ever told him that she liked steak?“You don’t like steak?” Albert asked when Sophia remained silent, not uttering a word.“I-I do… like it,” Sophia replied, still in disbelief.Sophia had never given much thought to her favorite food. She liked anything that tasted good. The only thing she truly considered her favorite was tomatoes. As for steak… she wasn’t sure. She ate it because it was delicious.But no

The distinctive aroma was evident every time Sophia took a deep breath. The air felt cool and warm as it touched her skin. The rustling of leaves and breaking twigs could be heard alongside the chirping of birds calling to one another. Sophia climbed onto one of the lowest branches of the oak tree and sat there. The rough, moss-covered texture of the tree bark made her dress dirty, but Sophia didn’t mind at all.After returning from Albert's apartment, Sophia changed her clothes and was about to head out. But when she saw Jordy, Albert’s personal driver, waiting for her in the living room, she hesitated. Albert must have instructed Jordy to take her wherever she wanted to go. However, Sophia wanted to go alone, aiming for Richmond Park or Hyde Park, any place close to nature.She decided against leaving and found herself here, beneath the oak tree w

"Oh Dear, there’s no need to be embarrassed. What you did yesterday is something normal for couples to do. Why feel ashamed? You’re married, aren’t you? Believe me, I was young once, and I’ve been in love just like you two."Sophia choked on the tomato she had just bitten into. "I-in love?!" she exclaimed in a muffled voice.

After Albert left the Raymond residence, he didn't go straight home and decided to stop by a luxurious bar. He invited Maurice to join him for drinks, but his personal assistant declined and simply kept him company while working in the VIP room.Albert couldn't go home until his emotions settled. He was so angry with Millie and the wasted time agreeing to that meeting."Should I call her?" Albert muttered repeatedly, staring at the screen of his phone.Maurice, hearing this, responded briefly at first but stopped paying attention as his boss seemed to be getting drunk."You should go home, Sir.
