Alex walked toward them and lifted Callia into his arms.Callia stopped drinking her formula for a moment to greet her uncle. Alex placed a kiss on her cheek. He said, “I see you’re drinking your milk.”Callia paused again and lifted her bottle to Alex’s mouth. She stared at him with her big eyes, asking if he wanted some. She was generous enough to share her food with Uncle Alex.“I’m not drinking. You can have it all.”Callia continued drinking her formula after Alex refused her offer. She quickly finished the bottle as she was hungry and craving milk.After that, she handed the bottle to Alex, wanting him to wash it for her.He put her down and went to the bathroom to wash the bottle. By the time he was done, Grandma May already had Callia in her arms and was about to head downstairs.“Put Lil’ Pie down, Nana,” Alex called.Grandma May turned to look at him. She asked, “What’s the matter?”After putting the bottle back, Alex walked over and said in a serious tone, “

Kent remembered that Mary had brought him home. They even had a long conversation on the way back. They also talked about their families. Mary said they were meant to be together and told him to stop pining for Sheila.She also promised that if she were to marry him, she would stop giving money to her parents, like now.She would prioritize her new family and only give her parents some allowance during special occasions.Mary also advised him not to let his relatives take advantage of him anymore and to stop shouldering everything himself. She said his parents simply had too much pride and loved bragging.Kent had replied that he could not let Sheila go. He had loved her and waited for her for so many years. Now that he had finally confessed and was wooing her, how could he give up just because she rejected him several times?Some people did not give up even after their love interests rejected them countless times. In the end, their persistence touched their love interests, an

After Mary finished her food and was about to leave, Kent stopped her and transferred fifty thousand dollars to her through his phone. It amounted to a few months of Mary’s salary.“This is my compensation to you, Mary. I’m sorry. I was a bastard for taking advantage of you last night.”Mary saw the money coming in and said with an expressionless face, “I’m not a prostitute, Dr. Levitt. I won’t accept this money.”After speaking, she left and headed for Kent’s clinic first.Kent also went to the clinic afterward. However, he could not pay attention to work because of what happened last night. Luckily, there were not many patients that day.Night fell, and Sheila was about to get off work.Kent let his two nurses leave first. He had to close the clinic early and go to the hospital to wait for Sheila. After stepping out of the clinic, Mary’s colleague whispered to her, “Dr. Levitt is weird today. There seems to be something weighing on his mind. Do you think the clinic is in trou

“Oh, where’s Dr. Levitt? Is he not here yet?”“He’ll be here soon. You can go on with your errand, Alex. I’ll head inside to get a more secluded seat.”Alex wanted to follow her inside, but his reason told him it was not a suitable time to create a commotion. Therefore, he said, “Okay. I’ll head off first.”He left on his e-bike. After Alex left, Sheila entered the cafe. As soon as she chose a spot, Kent arrived. Kent walked inside and spotted Sheila sitting in the corner. He walked toward her and said, “You’re faster than me on your bike, Sheila.”“It’s only a given because it is more convenient, and I left earlier. Meanwhile, you drove a car and were stuck in traffic for a moment.”A waiter approached them and asked for their orders.Kent ordered a cup of coffee, while Sheila got fruit juice. “Are you drinking coffee at night, Kent? Won’t it affect your sleep? I’m pretty sensitive to caffeine. Half a cup is enough to keep me alert all day. Meanwhile, tea doesn’t have much

It tasted as bitter as his emotions at that moment.The words Sheila spoke before she left meant she had guessed what he and Mary had done the night before. She probably knew something through Mary as well. Kent did touch Mary. Although they did not cross the final line, he had touched and kissed her, taking full advantage.Sheila was particular about purity. Since he had touched other women, she would never accept him.Why did he have to drink alcohol?If he were not drunk, he would not have mistaken Mary for Sheila.Kent utterly regretted it.Sheila rode home.The Joneses’ family clinic shutters were almost fully closed. Only the doors in the middle were accessible. Light was pouring out of it, so Marvin was probably still on the first floor.There was a new e-bike parked outside. Sheila thought it looked familiar, like the one Alex had been riding earlier.As expected, she heard Alex’s voice inside.He was saying something, which made her aunt and uncle laugh merrily.S
