"That's right. At the time, the divorce happened so suddenly that even if I went back to my previous job, it would take a long time to start making money again. I had no resources to solve the immediate problem," I replied."Do you want to go back to your previous line of work?" Julian asked.Without even thinking, I shook my head. "Of course not. I have a job I enjoy more now, and it pays better. There's no reason to go back."Julian's smile widened.…When it was time for the lunch break, Joseph was already waiting in the café downstairs.Alice rushed over, and Joseph remarked sarcastically, "Look at you, all busy and important now. I waited for so long."Hearing that, Alice rolled her eyes at him. "Most companies have the same lunch hour. If you insist on coming this early, what do you expect me to do? Besides, I came straight here as soon as I got off work."Alice shot him a sideways glance. "That's already giving you enough respect. You'd better appreciate it."Joseph qui

Joseph wasn't dumb, so of course, he understood the hint in Alice's words. "They would have to live through tough times with me?"Alice nodded. "Yes."Joseph couldn't say a word. It was only then that he realized that he seemed to have been living as a giant baby under his father's protection.When he was at home, with his father being kind and loving, everyone was willing to pamper him.Now that things had soured, no one wanted to have anything to do with him anymore.Joseph suddenly felt a bit incredulous."Although most of your fair-weather friends can't be relied on, one thing's for sure—someone will always be sincere with you," Alice continued.Joseph seemed to understand something as he looked at Alice. "You called me out here just to hint that you're the one who's sincere with me?"Alice almost laughed out loud from anger. She had called Joseph out to set Avery up!If she involved herself, she would be losing big time.Alice took a deep breath. It was stupid of her to

"Why?" Joseph asked in confusion.Alice suddenly felt exhausted. When she communicated with smart people, it was always just to the point. But when talking to Joseph, she had to explain every word."Because she knows your current situation! No one can help you, and you can only come to me. And my salary is so low. I wouldn't want to spend money on you. But she's different. She doesn't earn that much, but she's very generous when it comes to spending money on you.""That's true." Joseph's eyes instantly lit up. Then, he frowned."But I don't think she's ever spent money on me."Alice crossed her arms. "That's because you haven't mentioned it. Otherwise, she would definitely spend money on you."Though Alice didn't have much interaction with Avery, she was sure Avery would spend some money as long as it made life difficult for Alice.Alice suddenly felt smart for being able to use Avery's personality traits to set a trap for her.She signaled for Joseph to call Avery. "If you don

Alice nodded. "Yes! Actually, you can talk to me about what she's done for you. Maybe from some small details, I can read her deep love for you."Confused, Joseph began telling Alice about everything that had happened between him and Avery.Each time Alice heard something, she would nod and say, "See? If she didn't love you, she wouldn't be willing to do those things for you!"The confusion on Joseph's face gradually turned into certainty.Seeing this, Alice smiled.Despite the complications along the way, her plan was about to succeed!Even though Avery might indeed have some special feelings for Joseph, Alice knew that Joseph's family had very high standards for a daughter-in-law.A woman like Avery—with no background—would definitely be bullied if she married into the family.At that point, it would be like the Wilson family was avenging Alice.The more Alice thought about it, the happier she got. However, she was also worried Joseph might reveal everything right away. "But

Joseph calculated his daily expenses. "I can eat something cheaper for breakfast and something slightly expensive for lunch. Then, I can skip dinner. Two thousand a month should be enough."When Alice heard that, she was thankful she hadn't ended up with him.He had no intention of working and just expected women to support him. That would drive his girlfriend insane.Although Alice hated Avery, she couldn't let Avery throw herself into misery either. "So, after you spend everything this month, what about next month? Are you just going to keep asking Avery for money?"Joseph really didn't know what he should do."Why don't you find a job to support yourself? Your father has already cut you off. You should at least start thinking about your future. You can't just freeload forever or rely on a woman to take care of you. You have working limbs, after all."Joseph fell silent, seriously considering Alice's words.Standing up, Alice said, "I'm going back to work. Think about it you

Joseph had originally been unsure whether Avery liked him or not.But Avery's words just now proved that Alice was right."What do you want to talk about?" Joseph asked."Before we talk, let's order two drinks first." Avery scanned the QR code in front of her with her phone and asked with a smile, "What do you want to drink? I know you're used to having expensive food and drink. I happen to have money in my hands right now, so just order whatever you want."Joseph was deeply moved.Alice had a salary and high bonuses, yet she was reluctant to buy him anything expensive.But Avery, who only had a fixed salary and no extra commissions, was willing to go all out to treat him.Not only that, but she even gave him money for his living expenses."I just ate; I'm not hungry right now," said Joseph."You don't need to be frugal on my behalf." Avery was patient with him. She wanted to make use of Joseph, so of course, she had to treat him well.Otherwise, if someone turned Joseph ag

If Avery agreed, a stranger would be moving into her house.She was a little conflicted.Just then, the food Joseph ordered arrived. He didn't push the issue of staying at Avery's place but simply lowered his head and focused on eating.Avery stared at Joseph, deep in thought.When Joseph finished his meal, he stood up confidently. "I'm going to look for a job now. Thank you for treating me. I'll return the favor once I start making money.""If you really have nowhere to stay right now, you can come to my place," Avery said, fully committed to messing with Alice.As she thought it over, she realized that Joseph moving into her house wasn't entirely a bad thing.At the very least, she could brainwash him all the time and make sure he kept pestering Alice.Once Avery figured it out, she smiled. "I mean it.""Then can I move in today?" Joseph asked."Sure."Avery pretended to be troubled. "But you like Alice. If she finds out you're staying at my place…""I knew it. She likes

Since they reached an agreement, we decided to have a meal together.The restaurant we chose was one that both kids liked.We ordered a set meal—a hamburger, fries, and pudding.After placing the order, the kids leaned over the counter, staring at the bunny-shaped pudding with their mouths wide open.Willow said in disbelief, "I didn't know such a cute pudding existed. How is it made?""Yeah, I didn't know either." Pamela was also shocked."But these chefs are amazing."Ximena and I sat beside them, both smiling at the scene.There was nothing more pleasant in the world than a life like this.Ximena poured me a cup of water. "I never thought that raising a child could make me happy.""Yeah," I agreed wholeheartedly. "Before getting to know Willow, I even thought that we had to shout and argue just to communicate with a kid. And everyone would be grumpy."It had always been like that with Zach.No matter what I did for him, he never listened. All he thought was that I was

Willow pouted but still compromised. She said, "Then we'll do our hair first. If we have spare time, can we go play?""Sure," I replied smilingly.Willow sat at the table, looking at the cute little pudding in front of her.Surprised, she turned the little pudding around. "This looks almost the same as the one on the counter!"Pamela immediately took off the little box around the pudding and grabbed a spoon to tap it.The little bunny pudding bounced."So cute," Pamela thought.She liked it even more and quickly shared it with Willow. "Look!""Wow!" Willow's mouth fell open in surprise."What's wrong?" Pamela asked."I don't want to eat it," Willow responded sadly.Pamela glanced at Willow, then at the pudding in front of her. "Me neither!"I rubbed Willow's head gently. "Then eat your hamburger and fries first.""Okay!" Willow and Pamela quickly started eating. But as they ate, their eyes kept staring at the pudding.I shook my head with a smile.I picked up the hamburg

Julian added the caption, "A happy day."He was usually aloof and almost never posted on social media. This was his first time.So, as soon as he posted it, everyone started leaving comments."Is the little girl in the photo your daughter, Mr. Hughes?"Julian replied, "Yes.""Is that beautiful woman your wife?"Julian glanced at me, then replied, "She will be in the future."Right now, I was only his girlfriend. But he was not satisfied with the idea of us staying in this kind of relationship forever.He was eager for our relationship to move forward.Most of the comments that followed were filled with amazement."I thought he was so focused on his career that he'd never get married.""I never expected this.""Mr. Hughes just hadn't met the right woman before."Julian glanced at me again, his eyes filled with soft joy.Among all the compliments, one comment stood out.It was from Shayne. "Did you get Aralyn's permission before posting her photo?"Julian didn't rush to r
