Monica and the tall, handsome man found a table and sat down too. The guy looked upset, like he was embarrassed to be here. If it weren’t for her beauty, he wouldn’t be caught dead here. He badly wanted to escape, and he badly wished he hadn’t recognized her. Both Scarlett and Lucas were experts at being oblivious to their surroundings while they ate the cheesecake in front of them without a care in the world, talking about normal things. As they chatted, they gave off such a pleasant feeling that even onlookers thought their cheesecake tasted better.Monica’s table was the only one with a gloomy atmosphere, and they both had expressions that looked like they had just stepped on shit. Lucas thought they were flies. And flies should be happy when they see shit. Their steaming hot cup of coffee and milk tea finally arrived. While the average person would have assumed Scarlett had ordered the coffee, surprisingly, it was Lucas who preferred coffee. Scarlett had ordered the milk tea i

What right did Scarlett have to be so happy when she was so embarrassed? The person who should be ashamed was clearly Scarlett. "Lucas, are you done? It's about time to go home." Scarlett looked at her watch; it was already past 5 pm. Lucas looked up at Scarlett dazedly, like a large shepherd dog. He looked so pitiful that she almost went up to give him a big kiss. At the same time, the attention surrounding them was giving her goosebumps, so she warned Lucas softly, “Baby, you did it on purpose, didn’t you? Do you really not want us to get home? Are you a peacock? Do you need to constantly show off your beauty like this? I’d still like to get home safely, thank you very much!” The fangirls, who had already calmed down, were now in a frenzy again as they fell for Lucas' adorable demeanor. They looked eager to give him hugs and kisses, while Scarlett could only shake her head in dismay. Suddenly, Lucas asked, "Mommy, how old are you? How did you manage to get cake on you

Lucas had already thought of it and rolled his eyes at Scarlett. “Haven’t I always taken into consideration the things you’ve never even thought of? Just relax and continue your work as a lawyer as usual. I’ll make you a competent governor.” Ignoring the first half of his answer, Scarlett felt reassured to hear he had a plan. She had complete trust in her son because he only made promises when he was confident.Scarlett was grateful and grabbed his face, giving him a big kiss. Lucas calmly wiped the saliva off his face, thoroughly expressing his disapproval.“Oh, right. Mommy, you need to be prepared. The case I have for you won't be easy to win. Even though Felix has lost to you before, he clearly has the advantage in this case, and I haven’t found any strong evidence yet. You need to be careful; he is quite skilled after all,” Lucas said solemnly. It seemed that he'd encountered a bottleneck, and Scarlett sensed that he was tense. Scarlett knew Lucas was worried she would under

What was going on? Scarlett froze. “Breakfast, lunch, and dinner in six months? Why is he acting like this? He purposefully came looking for trouble, didn’t he?” she lamented to herself. Scarlett forced a smile. “Hahahaha… Mr. Leonard, you're so funny.”“Mr. Leonard, I’ve jotted it down," his assistant said, not knowing it was the wrong thing to say at the wrong time. “Miss Langston, I look forward to having breakfast, lunch, and dinner with you in six months.” Jonathan smiled cheekily, acting completely out of character. Scarlett was rendered speechless, as was everyone else present. Being in the industry for so long, they knew what Mr. Leonard meant. He was announcing to everyone that he was interested in Scarlett, so no one else should try to get close to her or even think about her. And since it was Jonathan, nobody dared to fight him. Besides, Scarlett wasn't just an unbeatable lawyer; she was now also the governor. They wouldn’t dare offend her. Slowly, everyone took the

As soon as Macy stopped speaking, Lucas interrupted anxiously, his motions frantic as he attempted to salvage the dishes.Macy, who was still in a daze, snapped back to reality instantly and glanced at the dishes she was in charge of. They were really about to be overcooked. "Oh no, I've been so busy thinking about so many things that I almost forgot about the dishes. I haven't done this in so long—you really start losing your touch once you stop doing it often.""And I thought you'd become smarter; it turns out you're still as dumb as you used to be. You know that your brain doesn't work so well with multitasking, yet you still do it. Do you think you're as smart and talented as me? Don't think about it anymore; just take care of the dishes first." Lucas' arrogant, narcissistic, and belittling expression enraged Macy. She wanted nothing more than to slam a lid on his head."Can you be any less narcissistic?" She fired back when she could no longer stand his attitude."Can you be a
