"Okay."Cordy picked up her knife and fork and started eating slowly.She was going to argue but noticed upon a closer look that the food really were all her favorites. "You didn't have to make my favorites exclusively," she said, seemingly offhandedly. "I'm not picky with food…""I feel guilty imposing on you today, so take this as a token of gratitude."Cordy said nothing else at that and treated it as an actual polite gesture."By the way, didn't Wendy say she was coming? Why isn't she here?" Richard asked.Cordy looked up at Richard just then—her son really liked Wendy, did he not?"She always sleeps in. Leave her be—don't disturb her now," John said flatly.Cordy somehow thought she heard a tinge of tenderness in his tone."Okay." Richard nodded. "What about the afternoon?""That depends if she has other arrangements. She'll be here if there aren't any.""Okay."And with that, they finished brunch, with Richard and John conversing intermittently, while Cordy remained

Cordy quickly said, "No, it's not made for me."She could understand that Richard meant no harm since he was still a child.But with Wendy around, saying something like that was inevitably inappropriate."No, it really was made for you," Wendy said bluntly then. "I told Johnny to make it for you, since Dicky said you like it. Why don't you have a taste?"Cordy pursed her lips, surprised that Wendy was that magnanimous.In contrast, she felt petty.Nonetheless, she opened her mouth and ate the slice.It was much softer than those purchased, and its sweetness melted in her mouth right away.In fact, Cordy had not been feeling an appetite, but she was suddenly seized by an impulse to start gluttoning."It's good, right?" Wendy asked her expectantly."Yeah.""That's what I've been saying," Wendy said sweetly. "I'm so lucky to have met Johnny. He's rich, handsome, kind, and a good cook. He's just so perfect…"Cordy was going to tell her that she did not have to go that far just

Understanding that she should be grateful, Cordy moved to stand next to John.Wendy raised the smartphone again and said, "Three, two, one, smile!"She even took several more after that."Alright!" Wendy exclaimed when she was done, and she passed Richard his phone back. "Check it out. Are they good?"Richard scrolled through them and quickly said, "It's great, Wendy. Thank you.""Oh, it's nothing," Wendy replied.Things were perfectly harmonious, and Cordy felt like she was not a part of it.However, Richard would always reach out to her, always paying attention to her mood like he did now."Mommy, can I film a video of you and Daddy working together?"Cordy was going to say no, but John agreed to it right away. "Sure."Cordy glanced between John and Wendy, the latter who shrugged nonchalantly. "Of course—anything that makes you happy, Dicky.""You're the best, Wendy.""Of course," Wendy said smugly. "And I'll treat you the same even after I have a soccer team with your da

Stunned, their eyes met for seconds before Cordy quickly pushed John away and turned her back on him.They had been so close she spaced out for a moment, but she still felt John's hot breath becoming rushed.She could also feel her own heart racing wildly, while her cheeks burned.She took a deep breath to calm herself, deciding that she had been a little careless just then."That was great, Mommy! Do your best!" Richard quickly exclaimed just then, cheering her on as he noticed the awkwardness between his parents.Cordy slowly calmed down as well and seriously learned baking from John while quietly keeping his distance.Naturally, he did not step out of line either—in fact, he was paying considerable attention not to get too close since he felt her aversion.Soon, they finished making cookies, which were a little charred but tasted good.Cordy felt a strong sense of accomplishment, especially with Richard munching while flattering her."Wow, your cookies are wonderful, Mommy!

Wendy continued, "Oh, stop teasing me. John is handsome and great in every way, and I'm lucky to have him, but I can't help it, y'know? My preference for freshness and excitement is inborn. There's no stopping me."Oh, don't give me that crap. I'll try to slip out later—I won't miss out on such a stud."Wendy kept chatting for a while, laughing mischievously from time to time.Cordy avoided her in turn and headed out to the back garden, where she found John and Richard setting up the barbecue set.The back garden had also been decorated elaborately to look romantic and homely. Richard eagerly called out to her, "Mommy! You're finished with work? Daddy and I have prepared dinner—it's almost done now. I was just going to get you.""Yeah, I'm finished with work," Cordy replied and walked up to them.John was focused on preparing the food, while Cordy could not resist sliding several glances at him.Richard laughed just then. "Mommy, why are you staring at Daddy? Do you find him h

John rose to his feet nonetheless. "I'll walk you to the front gates, at least."He really was meticulous when it came to Wendy."Okay," she smiled sweetly in turn, before turning to Cordy and Richard, "I'm sorry. I have to leave since my friend's in trouble. Enjoy your meal."Cordy said nothing, while Richard nodded cheerfully. "Okay, Wendy. Come again next time.""Of course I will.""See you."Wendy gave him a pat on the head before leaving.When she was gone, Richard could not help sighing. "Wendy's so nice."Cordy felt a little miffed at that but thought to herself that she really was not jealous this time.She was just conflicted—should she expose Wendy here? It took John a while to return after walking Wendy to the gates, and Cordy presumed that they must have gotten a little frisky.They were still in the honeymoon period and were perhaps reluctant to be apart even for a second.Cordy looked at John, who felt her gaze and asked, "Do you have something to say?"She

Richard saw Cordy and quickly put a finger on his lips so she would stay quiet.He certainly looked upset and was reluctant to have John woken up.Cordy pursed her lips and said softly, "We can't let your daddy sleep on the couch the whole night…""I'll ask him to sleep in one of the rooms," Richard quickly said."No, what I mean is, shouldn't we ask Wendy to get him? He's drunk, and he needs someone to take care of him when it's this late.""Can't I do it?" Richard asked, a little disappointed. "You're still a child.""Can't you do it?""That's inappropriate considering our current relationship," Cordy said seriously.Richard was unhappy about it, but he nodded tamely regardless.Cordy texted Wendy, since they exchanged numbers earlier.However, Wendy did not answer, so Cordy called her.It took a while for Wendy to answer, and it was very noisy on the other end for a while before things finally quieted down."What is it, Cordy?" Wendy asked."John got drunk and fell as

It took Cordy and Richard great effort to finally move John to a room.Just as they put him on the bed, Richard suddenly exclaimed, "Whoops.""What's wrong?" Cordy asked, seeing the anxiety on his face just then."I have to submit the vlog tomorrow, but it's already very late and I haven't edited anything." Richard looked very worried."You can go do it now," Cordy told him."But Daddy is drunk. Someone needs to take care of him," Richard said, clearly in a dilemma.However, he was also obviously staring at Cordy, clearly wanting her to help.Cordy sighed—she had to spoil her own son."Yeah, I'll take care of him.""Thanks, Mommy. You're the best!" Richard exclaimed with visible joy.But as Cordy watched him leave, she sighed, somehow feeling like she had fallen for a trap.Still, she got up and helped John out of his jacket and socks, after which she went to the washroom and wet a hot towel for him, wiping his cheek bit by bit while complaining to herself inwardly—who was J
