Kent said with a wry smirk, “Fair enough. What did you say about me? Was it that I’m a two-timer, or that I’m broke and powerless?” “I never said you were two-timing. I didn’t know who Ms. Hicks was to you. You aren’t exactly broke or powerless either.” Alex added, “You shouldn’t base love on money and power. Love should be untainted by these things. “Do you believe that my social standing gave me an edge? You are wrong. My family wasn’t the reason I beat you. You’re the problem.” Kent uttered, “You’re not Sheila’s boyfriend. Heck, you haven’t even let her know how you feel. What do you mean that you beat me? I have not lost.” “Yes, that’s true, but do you honestly think you have a chance of winning? “Dr. Levitt, you’re quite the catch. It’s impressive for ordinary people how you amass your wealth through your hard work. “Your family must be proud of you, but you shouldn’t be so wishy-washy in your love life. You should step away when it’s time. If you don’t love Ms. Hick

“It’s very comforting knowing that you’ve moved on from that guy.” Enid added, “You have no idea how worried we were when you got your heart broken. You were so down and losing weight day by day because you couldn’t eat.“Our worst fear was if you’d never find the spark again. Thank goodness, you did.” Sheila said apologetically, “I’m sorry for putting you through that, Aunt Enid. I had lost faith in love since then. I was afraid of meeting someone who’s just going to use me to climb up the ladder.“My friends and colleagues’ happy marriages restore my confidence in love.” Love was not the problem. It was the guy she dated. “We were never keen on your first boyfriend. So good riddance. The next one will be better. I trust that you’ll find someone better. The jerk can live with regret for all I care.” Word was that Sheila’s first boyfriend had a change of heart. Social climbing came with a huge price. Despite being married, he did not have feelings for his wife. All he was a

“Alex is a York heir. Even though the Yorks have great values and are open-minded, I can’t bring myself to indulge in fantasies about him falling for me.“I don’t want to flatter myself. It’s best if we stay friends. His cousins and brothers took wives from wealthy and powerful families, and we don’t belong in that category. Since the women were good matches, the Yorks have no reason to object. “Our family has some standing in society, but we don’t play in the big leagues. We aren’t compatible by any traditional standard. The social divide is too wide.“I need to keep my head clear and tell myself that Alex is only nice to me because I’ve been a great help to him when it comes to his home renovations. “We should just stay friends. I dare not think we could be more.” Enid said understandingly, “I get where you’re coming from. Didn’t you say that Alex’s parents were nice to you? His other family members welcomed you like you were their own. “Maybe his family is progressive in t

Sheila reached for the skincare set from Tania and handed it to Enid. Sheila said, “Alex’s aunt gave me this when we met. His mother gave me a duplicate set, too. “We can each have one, Aunt Enid. I can’t use the kits all on my own.” Enid declined. “They gave the products to you. You should keep them. I have plenty of my own. Besides, they probably picked out these products for your age.“I’m in the older lady category. I don’t use the same products as you.” Sheila insisted that Enid accept the set. Unable to refuse, Enid took the kit and said with a smile, “Well, don’t mind if I do. Thank you.” “We’re family. I think of us as mother and daughter. You spend more time looking after me than Mom. You hold a special place in my heart, just like Mom. It’s only right that I spoil you a little, too.” Besides, she could not go through that much skincare on her own. “Why do you think Dr. Levitt wanted to talk to Alex?” Enid said worriedly, “I hope Dr. Levitt isn’t picking on Al

“Kent.” Sheila politely greeted him and invited him to take a seat. Instead of sitting, Kent turned to Alex and said, “I’m here for Mr. York. I figured he might be here, and there he is.” Alex raised a brow, wondering why his rival wanted to meet. For all he knew, Kent could still be after Sheila’s heart. “Do you need anything, Dr. Levitt?” Keeping his bottom planted, Alex asked, “You can say it to me here.” Kent replied, “Mr. York, can we have a moment outside? We can go to the café further down the street.” With a look of resignation, Alex got up and told Sheila, “I’m afraid I won’t get to enjoy your tea tonight, Sheila. Maybe some other day. “Come on, Dr. Levitt. You’re buying me coffee.” Kent gave Enid a nod before taking one hard look at Sheila. He then trailed behind Alex. Since Kent took his own car, both men drove separately to the café around the corner. Enid and Sheila came out of the clinic and watched the cars pull away. Enid said to Sheila, “The worst

Alex and Sheila arrived at the Joneses’ clinic, and the door was closed. However, the light inside was on. Sheila said, “Uncle Marvin and Aunt Enid must be upstairs having dinner. They would usually reopen the clinic, but the evenings are pretty quiet.” The evenings were laid-back compared to the day rush. Sheila stepped out of the car and opened the door to the clinic with a key. Cocking her head back, she told Alex as the latter got out of the car, “It’s early. Come inside to have a drink.” “I was hoping you’d ask.” Alex grabbed the gifts from the seat to bring them in. Sheila pushed the entrance open for Alex. She led him to Marvin’s usual spot for a drink. She put the kettle on and made Alex a cup of tea. “It’s early. I hope a cup of tea won’t keep you up at night.” “No, I guess I built such a tolerance on tea and coffee that I could still fall asleep like a log.” Sheila chuckled. “A bit of tea would keep me wide awake in the past, but not anymore.” “Sheila,
