John pursed his lips and said slowly, "I just wanted to check on you, see how you're recovering.""I'm doing well," Cordy replied. "I can be discharged tomorrow, if nothing else happens."Silence ensued after she answered, until Cordy asked again, "How are you doing?""I'm fine.""Nana isn't around today?""No.""I thought she's with you 24/7.""She went home. There seemed to be something back home.""So why are you here?" Cordy asked again.Her patience was almost used up, and she had kept trying to make John talk just to make him open up.However, he ultimately lost."I'm starting to regret it now…" John finally said, his voice exceedingly quiet.Cordy stared at him, unable to understand what he meant."Regret pushing you away," he added.Cordy laughed despite herself. She really was infuriated—what did John take her for, a door to open and close as he liked?"I'm sorry," John apologized. "I thought I could persevere until I resolved everything and return to your sid

John was silent; suddenly, he didn’t know how to explain himself."It should’ve been a while ago, no? At least, before we went to that beach,” Cordy said.She found it ironic as she recalled it now.To think she did so much to make him remember their past.She even prostrated herself, prepared a paternity test, and used his identity to make him take responsibility for Dicky.But in the end, he had always known.The entire time, she was just making a fool of himself. "I just—""I'm sorry, but I don't want your explanation," Cordy said, cutting him short. "It won't do anything aside from adding to my troubles."As John stared at Cordy, she continued, "To make myself clearer, I will cut ties with you no matter what you say now. I refuse to suffer emotional blackmail."There was a hint of misery in John's eyes, but he nodded silently.Yes; she would always be that rational, and nothing could change anything she decided on.He was the one who thought that he could still be with

To be honest, Patrick was ready for the worst-case scenario when he left with Sean.John did save Cordy with his life, and if he asked, there was every chance Cordy would break down and throw herself into his arms.Thus, Patrick was surprised Cordy was so determined to reject John. In fact, she refused to listen to any of John's explanations and remained determined to reject his advances even after he admitted that he had regained his memories. Did she not love him anymore? Or did she love him too much and was afraid to get hurt again?At the same time, Cordy wiped away her tears ever so subtly.There was just no controlling it when your heart hurt so much.However, she will slowly change that from now on, and slowly forget how she felt towards John Levine."I'm sorry," she suddenly told Patrick.Patrick's heart skipped an anxious beat.She obviously rejected John just now, but was she already regretting it?Did that mean his happiness only lasted for…minutes?He stared at

Patrick had more to say, but then Cordy deliberately provoked him, "So, you want John to have me instead? Is that it?"Patrick promptly snapped in agitation. "No! Of course not!"Cordy smiled—she certainly understood that.However, Patrick was just too good to her. He was always putting her first before all else, and was especially worried that she would be hurt."I want to be with you forever," Patrick said as he reached out, clearly unable to resist taking her hand. However, perhaps embarrassed for some reason or another, he couldn’t actually touch her. Cordy actually found that she couldn’t stand it. Was he embarrassed?Come to think of it, it was understandable since this was the first time he was dating a woman.As such, Cordy reached out to take his hand instead.Patrick looked at her in surprise; the next instant, he took her dainty hand firmly in his and didn’t let go, as if afraid someone would take her away.At that, Sean left quietly—he was a third wheel, anyway.

Sean had to wonder—should he trust John? What if this was all just a trap? There was no question that John had the strength to destroy the Cranstons!Nonetheless, John made his intentions clear right then and there. "Nana’s merely a chess piece. The Lynds would never consider themselves as one of them without her. If I wasn’t amongst them, I wouldn't have leverage for a partnership…"He trailed off for a moment as he saw Sean raising a brow, and said, "Fine. I'll admit, it didn’t cross my mind before that I should work with you. I was intent on destroying the Lynds as I did with the Stuarts with my own strength. However, I didn’t know that the Lynds were your enemies at first. To top it off, they were your relatives. I'd never have partnered with you under such circumstances, let alone make Cordy hate me because I messed with the Lynds.""So you're pleased that they moved against us," Sean said, appearing composed but ruffled inside.John was going to destroy the Lynds on his own

John said solemnly, "That has nothing to do with my motivation to protect Cordy."Sean pursed his lips, unable to say anything against that.John then added, "Take your time to consider…""There's no need," Sean said. "We're partners now."He didn’t need further reason either, since John was right.If John really wanted to work with the Lynds to destroy the Cranstons, the Cranstons wouldn’t remain unscathed. And Sean would never doubt John's strength. "Alright. I'll contact you when there's any new developments," John said."You mean, I shouldn't come to you?" Sean asked."Ideally, no.""Alright.""Also, I have a request," John added."Tell me.""Arrange for one of yours so that he can stay close to me," John said. "The Lynds are keeping a close eye on me, and Nana is as smart as she is sharp—she’d notice something if I'm unaware. As such, I need protection and someone who can pass information for me under the Lynds' noses.""Arranging for an insider in the Lynd family?

Jay said solemnly, "Playing with our daughter isn’t self-indulgent.”"But you're putting off work. If I remember correctly, that film you're going to direct was supposed to be next month," Zoe told him. "And I overheard you calling your assistant to delay it another month."While Jay was left speechless, Zoe muttered, "I just don't want to end up on the streets with you.""Well, even if I stop working right now, I'd still have enough wealth to last us several lifetimes," Jay replied.‘Bragging, are we?’ Zoe thought to herself.Zoe was rendered speechless for a moment, but then she quickly said, "You should always strive to be better instead of goofing off. You'd waste all the money you have if you gave in to self-indulgent tendencies.""I'm not. Also, the filming was delayed for a month only because the female lead will only be free in a month," John quickly explained, genuinely worried Zoe would find any reason to get sick of him."Mommy," Yelena couldn’t help but say. "Can’t y

Zoe got upset immediately. "Jay Parker! You kept telling me before that I'm not fat, but now, you're telling me to adhere to the strict discipline of an actress?!" Men!What they see is all they care about!"No, you just shouldn't eat too much sweet food, or you'd get cavities."Zoe was speechless. Was she a child to him?! He should be telling that to his daughter instead!Feeling petty, Zoe snatched her ice cream back from Jay, chomping down on it when she was just taking small, careful bites before.Although she was telling herself not to eat too much before, she liked rebelling against Jay more.Calling her fat? Did he know how terrible it was to be an actress?She had to restrain herself even though there was so much she wanted to eat, and would always feel guilty if she managed to encourage herself into taking one extra bite.But not only was he refusing to comfort her… He had to mock her, too!Nonetheless, Zoe winced immediately from brain freeze after she took a large
