Solomon's endearment, "baby," made Ines' flushed cheeks even redder. He only called her that during their most intimate moments before."I'll help you change clothes," Solomon said, picking up Ines and carrying her to the bedroom.Ines sat on the edge of the bed, watching Solomon open the wardrobe to pick out clothes for her. She pursed her lips and asked, "Do we really need to go to the hospital?""Yes! We must!" Solomon turned around, handing Ines a turtleneck sweater and a wool coat. "I'll help you change, or do you want to do it yourself?"Ines quickly took the clothes. "I'll do it myself."Wanting to change out of her pajamas, Ines noticed Solomon still standing there. She said, "You, out!""Haha." Solomon chuckled mischievously. "What's there to be embarrassed about? I've seen you without clothes before."No way!Ines glared at him. "Get out! Out! Out!"Amused, Solomon knew she was thin-skinned. He rubbed her head. "All right, no more teasing. Hurry up and change. I'
Ines usually have a strong immune system. The doctor saw that she was only running a slight fever at the moment, and her other symptoms were mild as well, so he suggested she take some medicine and observe.After getting the prescription, Solomon went back and forth to pay and pick up the medication.Due to the crowd, getting the medicine took almost half an hour.By the time they got back home, it was almost dark."What do you feel like eating tonight?"Ines sat on the couch, wiping her nose. "I want noodles. Do we still have the pork rib soup from lunch?""Yes, then I'll make you some pork rib noodles."After saying that, Solomon wanted to kiss her, but she dodged."Don't kiss me; viral colds can be contagious."Solomon pried open her hand and insisted on kissing her. "I'm healthy, not afraid!""Mm."Solomon cupped Ines' face and kissed her lips firmly.After the kiss, Solomon gently rubbed her head. "Rest for a bit; I'll go make the noodles.""Okay."Making noodles was
After some coaxing from Solomon, Ines decided to let him stay.Since Solomon had no spare clothes here, he called his assistant, Jonathan, and had him bring over the suitcase Ines had previously taken to South Garden Apartment.Jonathan was very efficient and quickly delivered the suitcase.Solomon cheerfully took the suitcase and said, "You've been through a lot lately. Take three days off and rest well."Jonathan nodded with a smile. "Thanks, Mr. Rowland."Once Jonathan left, Solomon took out his clothes and hung them in Ines' closet before showering.Ines had already finished showering and was lying in bed, looking at her phone and reading the news.Coming out of the shower, Solomon immediately switched the bedroom lights to sleep mode. "Stop looking at your phone. Rest early. Don't forget, you're still recovering.""It's only nine, still early."Having slept too much during the day, Ines was not sleepy at all."Sleep early so that you can wake up early."Before Solomon c
"Sweetheart, be good, close your eyes and sleep."Solomon gently stroked her head, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "You're still sick. I won't disturb you."Ines suppressed a smile, her hand slipping under the blanket to touch his chest. "It's just a little cold.""But that's not okay." Solomon caught Ines' restless hand. "Be a good girl and go to sleep."Ines looked at him. "Really? You don't want to?"Solomon gritted his teeth, gripping her hand tightly. "Darling, stop making me restless. Go to sleep!"He was an ordinary man. How could he not want to? However, he could not bear to make her more tired as she was still sick. If her cold got worse tomorrow, he would be the one worrying.Ines chuckled softly. "Okay then, goodnight.""Goodnight."Solomon turned off the projector, and the lights in the bedroom went out.In the middle of the night, Solomon woke up feeling warm. He touched Ines beside him and found her sweating profusely, even soaking through her pajamas.Remember
Goodman Residence.At this moment, Kyle was preparing a stew for Zoe.Zoe had not been feeling well these past few days, with little appetite and reluctance to eat. Kyle cooked every meal to ensure she got some nourishment each day, making different dishes she liked.When Solomon called, Kyle was chopping vegetables. He answered the call on speakerphone and asked casually, "What's up?""Can't I call just to chat?" Solomon heard the chopping sound and asked, "Busy?""Yeah, cooking for Zoe," Kyle replied, continuing to chop while asking, "What's on your mind?""I was just wondering; how did you learn to cook? Could you give me some tips? Ines caught a cold these past few days, and I want to make her some comforting food," Solomon said.Kyle frowned slightly and replied casually, "You need tips for that? Just search online, follow a few food bloggers, watch some videos, and you'll learn quickly."That was how Kyle learned, although the household chefs occasionally gave him pointer
It seemed easy to watch those videos; the methods they used looked simple.Solomon, unwilling to admit defeat, wanted to find another video to learn from. However, when he checked the time, it was almost noon.He had not even finished preparing a single dish.Frustrated, Solomon picked up his phone to send Ines a sad emoji.[What's wrong?] Ines replied promptly.Solomon sent, [I tried to make ribs for you but failed twice.]After sending the message, Solomon also sent a pleading emoji.As soon as he sent it, Ines called.Solomon answered the call, feigning dejection. "Sweetheart, I'm so bad at this. I can't even make ribs."On the other end of the phone, Ines could not help but laugh. "It's okay, there's always room for improvement."Ines continued, "I'll teach you this weekend. Soon, you’ll be making the best ribs ever.""Okay."Solomon asked, "Sweetheart, are you hungry? How about I pick you up when you get off work at noon, and we head out for lunch?"Since he could not
After lunch, Solomon drove Ines back to the TV station.Ines thought he would leave after dropping her off, but to her surprise, he got out of the car with her.Solomon walked up to Ines. "I'll walk you up."Ines looked at him. "No need. I'll remember to take my medicine. You should head back."Solomon took her bag and held her hand, insisting, "I'll walk you up."Unable to resist, Ines went along with him.Solomon had visited the TV station to see Ines in the past. However, this was the first time he openly held her hand like this.People around them, recalling Solomon's post on social media from yesterday, instantly understood they were now together. If Solomon had made it official on social media, it must be good news.Solomon held Ines's hand tightly as he escorted her to her office.He poured her a glass of water and handed her the medicine. "We still have some time. After you take your medicine, you can rest on the couch for a bit."Ines nodded, took the medicine, and
During his absence from Richworth, two vice presidents handled Solomon's company affairs. Although there were no major issues, when he returned, he decided to check on things himself.Upon arriving at the company, Solomon held a brief impromptu meeting. After it ended, he spent some time in his office dealing with paperwork.Just as he was getting busy, the office door pushed open.Solomon looked up to see his mother, Patricia, walking in."Mom, what brings you here?" Patricia smiled. "I was shopping nearby with a friend and thought of dropping by the office to rest for a bit."As she spoke, she glanced around the office, searching for something.Solomon chuckled, immediately understanding his mother's intentions. "Mom, what are you looking for?"Patricia sat on the couch. Still smiling, her gaze shifted towards the lounge area. "Oh, nothing. I'm just wondering if you're alone."Solomon walked and sat beside her, smiling. “Of course. Are you expecting someone else with me?”
