Previously, when shopping with Wendy, I had visited the Arc'teryx counter and experienced their service. I didn't disappoint their enthusiasm, quickly selecting two sets of clothes and shoes."Please wrap these up for me.""Miss, don't you want to try them on?"From entering the store to selecting the clothes and shoes, I had taken only a few minutes. My swift and decisive actions left the sales assistant at a loss. She glanced at Luke, who was sitting on a sofa, flipping through a magazine.Luke looked up. "The same size in sportswear should be a bit larger than your regular clothes. You might want to try them on.""Miss, your boyfriend is right. You need to try clothes on to know if they fit properly.""He's not my—""This white sports outfit looks nice," Luke said, standing up and pointing to an outfit on the display rack."Sir, you have a good eye. Your girlfriend has fair skin, and this simple, elegant sports outfit would suit her very well."I tried several times to expl

Joey's secret...While making coffee, I speculated about what kind of secret Stephen was referring to.By the time I brought the coffee to Luke's office, Stephen had already left."Mr. York left?"They finished talking so quickly?"She's not my responsibility. I don't need to do things I don't want to do for her sake."In other words, Luke had refused Stephen's request.Joey's behavior was outrageous, and I had a very poor impression of her. I wouldn't say a word about Luke not visiting her in the hospital.I put the coffee on Luke's desk. "Stephen, who's invincible in court, has actually stumbled over Joey.""That invincibility is just a shell he wears. After countless battles, that shell isn't as hard as it once was."I didn't quite understand Luke's words and didn't ask further. I left the office.At lunch, I received a call from Stephen. He asked to meet me at the cafe downstairs.I knew why he wanted to see me and was reluctant. But he had helped me win a lawsuit befor

For Luke, this was a thorny issue. Visiting Joey would encourage her bad behavior, but not seeing her might push her towards Felfast.Jon's talent was unparalleled. If he joined Felfast, Hanque's future would look bleak.Luke remained silent for a long time, then said, "No one has asked for Jon's opinion.""Would Jon be able to express his own opinion?"Jon's situation was special. Except for AI, he couldn't communicate normally with others.Joey was Jon's guardian and could decide who he cooperated with."One should always have some hope."Luke's words were partly to comfort me. I wanted to ask if he had decided not to see Joey, but feared adding to his pressure."Whatever decision Mr. Walker makes, I'll firmly support you!""Does your statement have an expiration date?" Luke looked up, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipating."For now, no. As for the future, I can't be certain yet."At least during my time as his assistant, these words would remain valid!"I'll wor

Joey's recent mood swings made Stephen cautious about approaching her. He called out softly, "Joey."Joey seemed not to hear, showing no reaction.Stephen tried to soften his voice further, "Joey, shall we go back to the hospital?""I'm sorry for worrying you all," Joey said, her voice hoarse and weak, apologizing voluntarily.Her calmness made Stephen even more concerned. "Joey, if you're upset, you can let it out.""I'm fine, just homesick. I wanted to stay at home for a while." Joey turned with a smile, her tone apologetic. "Sorry everyone, for making you come out so late."Joey reached out to move her wheelchair, and Stephen quickly stepped forward to help."Thank you," Joey said.Her ordinary words of thanks made Stephen look at her twice.Penelope tugged at my sleeve.I scrutinized Joey.Joey's eyes were lowered; I couldn't see the emotion in them."I'll go back to the hospital with Stephen now. You all should go rest. When I'm discharged, I'll treat everyone to a mea

I already knew that Grandpa Shaw’s memory decline was due to a severe shock, not Alzheimer's disease.Although his condition was irreversible, it was manageable. Luke had already arranged for Dr. Thompson to give Grandpa Shaw a comprehensive examination. After compiling all the test results, Dr. Thompson was now developing a treatment plan for Grandpa Shaw.My gaze was determined. "Grandpa will get better."At that moment, Annette brought over freshly made desserts and placed them in front of Penelope and Jon. "Eat while they're hot. See if you like them."“Your cooking always suits my taste. You've spoiled my palate," Penny said.Annette’s culinary skills were excellent. The rice pudding was sprinkled with raisins, looking especially tempting.She noticed me, and I greeted her."Next time you come here, Ms. Middleton, I'll make some for you too.""Thank you, Annette."Like Marianne, Annette was warm and loving towards the younger generation but knew her boundaries. Afraid of
