Quentin had been in a foul mood because of what happened that afternoon, and seeing the culprit again only made him more irritable.Quentin didn't respond to Talia, merely shifting his gaze away. But Evan took it upon himself to sit beside Talia.Evan didn't know what happened that afternoon. At that moment, he still wanted to create an opportunity for Quentin and Talia to spend time alone together. That was why he risked being scolded by Maeve and went over.Quentin wanted to tell Evan to leave, but when he realized that it was too late, he gave up. Evan turned to look at Quentin. "Quentin, come on, join us."Quentin felt helpless but still went over to them and took a seat.Talia handed him the menu. "Mr. Henderson, see what Evan would like to eat. I'm not sure of his preferences."Quentin took the menu but didn't respond. He flipped through it without really looking. He simply pointed at two pictures at random. "These two will do."After Talia made a note of it, she raised he

The next day was Monday. After Talia woke up, she called Christian.The call was answered quickly, but it was Nancy's voice that came through. "Hello, are you looking for Chris?"Talia didn't hang up. Instead, she said indifferently, "Yes, put him on."Nancy knew that it was Talia, but she didn't hang up either. It only took a few seconds for Nancy to walk the phone over. Talia could tell that they were near each other."Chris, your phone."Then the sound of running water came through the line. Talia guessed that Christian must have been showering while Nancy was in the room.Christian could be heard saying, "Got it. Nancy, grab me a pair of boxer briefs."Nancy replied, "Okay, I'll leave the phone on the counter. Remember to answer it."Talia heard the door close, followed by the sound of water shutting off. A moment later, Christian said, "I'll call you back later."Before the call disconnected, Talia seemed to hear Nancy's soft hum. "Chris, I haven't showered yet."She cou

Christian didn't want to guess if Talia was speaking the truth. He flicked his lighter. The moment the flame shot up, he released his hand again.At the same time, he looked at Talia, his tone calm and cold. "Given Grandpa's current condition, I can't divorce you right now."Talia laughed bitterly. "They're two separate things. Why do you have to conflate them?"Christian didn't listen to Talia's words. He continued on his own. "The matter of having a second child also needs to be put back on the agenda."In the Lane family, Franklin was the relative Christian was closest to. When he was young, his parents had been too busy with work to pay him much attention. It was Franklin who kept him company and played with him.Christian was a child raised by his grandfather, so naturally, he was closest to him. He didn't want to overthink things. He only hoped Franklin could leave this world without regrets.If holding another grandchild was Franklin's wish, then Christian was willing to f

Quentin refused firmly, "I'm not wiping myself down."He was just that petty. He thought her blanket smelled too good and too clean. He wanted his scent to cling to it.Talia tried to threaten him. "If you don't wipe yourself down, I won't let you sleep in this bed."Hearing this, Quentin grumbled reluctantly. "Fine, fine. I'll do it."Talia went to the bathroom to get hot water and wrung out a towel to hand to him. After taking it, Quentin carelessly wiped his face a couple of times.When he finished, he handed the towel back to Talia. "Done."Talia knew that he hadn't wiped himself properly, but she let it go. She put the towel back in the bathroom. When she returned, Quentin had suddenly turned off the overhead light, leaving only the bedside lamp on.Talia knew that she couldn't get rid of Quentin. After all, he was drunk. So she planned to grab a pillow from the bed and sleep on the couch instead.But just as she approached the bed, Quentin suddenly reached out and grabbed

Back in his room, Christian sent Talia a message. "Can we meet up to talk?"Talia replied, "If it's not about the divorce, I don't think there's any need for us to meet."Christian said, "It's related. Besides, Grandpa's in the hospital. Even if you don't see me today, you'll run into me at the hospital next time."Talia understood what Christian meant. He was implying that if she didn't proactively meet him, he'd go looking for her at her department. But by then, the nature of things might be different.In the end, Talia compromised. The two agreed on a time and place to meet.When Talia arrived at the coffee shop around noon, Christian had already finished one cup of coffee.After she took a seat, Christian got straight to the point. "Grandpa's still in the hospital. No matter what, we need to maintain the status quo for now."We'll even have to act affectionate occasionally. That will be good for his condition. Once Grandpa gets better, we can go to the courthouse to handle t
