Leonard shot Harvey a glare.With no more reason to refuse, Leonard had no choice but to give in. "Alright. I'll come with you."After dinner, Anne caught Leonard just as he was about to sneak upstairs, asking him to join her for a walk. Harvey wanted to tag along, but Leonard made it clear that he'd back out if Harvey came.Harvey scoffed. "I wouldn't even waste my time if it weren't for keeping Anne company."The Parker residence sprawled across acres of woods and fields, offering an ideal setting for a walk. Anne had felt a bit on edge, but noticing that Leonard seemed even more wound up than she was helped ease her tension."How old were you when you took over the family business?" Anne asked, starting a conversation without much thought.Leonard's mind instantly drifted back to his younger days. "When I graduated from college, I had plans to go abroad, but then, my dad's health took a downturn, and I had to take over.""But what about Liam's grandfather, Dave?""Harvey did

The piano piece flowed gently, filling the room with a quiet, soothing warmth.Anne stepped closer and noticed Harvey was already lost in it, his eyes gentle and calm, like the surface of a quiet lake. As the final notes faded, he reached for her hand and guided her to sit beside him."What was that piece you just played?" she asked.Harvey paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. "I can't remember. I just played whatever came to mind.""Your dad said you weren't very good at the violin, but you play the piano pretty well.""I realized the violin wasn't for me, so I switched to the piano.""Is this your piano?"The instrument was covered in cartoon stickers, an unexpected touch that didn't match his usual style."This belongs to Andy's younger sister. Remember Andy? I told you about him."Anne nodded.The year Harvey ran away from home, he formed a close bond with three friends—Charles, Darren, and Andy. But Andy lost his life over a robbery gone wrong."Andy's

Zachery only let his pain show after stepping inside his house, clutching on his stomach. His irregular schedule and frequent drinking had likely triggered his gastritis again.If this had been before, Anne would have nagged him nonstop, refusing to let him ruin his health like this.There was no gastric medicine in the first aid kit, but in the kitchen drawer, there was a recipe she had left for making stomach-soothing soup."Anne, do you think I'll just die in pain without you? I can make the soup myself—how hard could it be?"He went into the kitchen, set up a pot, and followed the instructions on the paper. Thankfully, before she moved out, she had left behind all the necessary ingredients.However, even with everything prepared, it was still a hassle. He had to wash each ingredient, peel what needed peeling, and soak what needed soaking before putting everything into the pot.Once the water started boiling, he couldn't step away—he had to keep stirring constantly. With one h

"Mr. Marshall, I'm sorry. Let's do another take. I'll make sure to get the emotions right this time," Melanie apologized.Stanley was already fuming but didn't want to explode, so he waved his hand. "Take a break and reflect on your performance.""Understood."At that moment, Anne hurried over, pulling out a face towel to wipe Jenny's face. Her face was slightly purple—probably from holding her breath for too long.After being forced underwater again and again, anyone would struggle."I… I'm fine," Jenny said.Anne stood up and glared at Melanie. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"Melanie crossed her arms. "If that's what you think, then sure.""Then, let's go to Mr. Marshall right now and have him judge the situation. I hope you don't backtrack on your words!"Melanie's expression darkened, and she let out a cold laugh. "Look at you. Ever since you married into the Parker family, you've really changed. Enjoy your moment while it lasts, Anne—your time to cry will come some

"What do you want for dinner?""I want braised pork…""It's a bit noisy here. Can you say that again?""He said he wants braised pork trotters!" Amelie called out loudly."Who said I want pork trotters? Am I trying to kill myself? Stop framing me!" Leonard snapped at Amelie.Trying to hold back her laughter, Anne said, "I'll send you a meal plan later. Follow it for dinner tonight. "Also, we've scheduled a health checkup for Monday. Harvey will be back from his business trip by then, so you won't have any excuses.""I'm actually quite healthy," Leonard mumbled."Well, if all your test results come back fine, I'll treat you to something nice.""Can I have pork trotters?""Yes."Leonard's eyes lit up. "Alright. Monday it is."Amelie took the phone and smiled at Anne. "You're the only one who can handle him. Come home for dinner sometime.""Okay. By the way, Mr. Marshall called you, didn't he?""It's nothing major, not worth mentioning. Enjoy your time with your friend. The
