Yuna continued, "Besides, I may not have to do this for long. Mr. Morgan will probably refuse my help after a few days. He may get bored of the food, you know."Carl took a deep breath. "You have a comeback for everything, don't you?"She smiled. "Well, that's that. He did us a favor, after all. It's good that I can repay him with this, or I'll keep thinking about it.""I'm the reason it happened. I should be the one returning his favor," Carl said solemnly."You don't have to be a stranger with me," she said casually, and her words stunned him. However, she continued, "You're not that particular with Cedric. You can treat me just the same."The light in Carl's eyes went out as he nodded. "Yeah, you're right. There's no need for formalities."Cedric was sitting beside them. He noticed the change in Carl's expression and looked at Yuna. For a moment there, he didn't know what to think.In the end, Carl and Cedric could only give in. They only hoped that "Stanley" wouldn't let Y

As Spencer spoke, he put on an exaggerated expression. Yuna was amused. "Alright. I can't say no after accepting your gift, can I? Where are the twins?"Spencer was still in an apron. "They're in their room, playing with the souvenirs I bought for them. Surra, I learned a new dish. I'll make it for you later.""Sure, go ahead. I'll try it when I'm back."Yuna was reminded of something else. She shouted, "Aunty Reina! Where are you?"Spencer was eager to know. "Why? Are you going out?""Yeah. I have some matters to attend to.""Hm?" He was puzzled.Yuna spotted Aunty Reina coming downstairs. Then, she led Spencer into the kitchen and told him everything. Things got busy in the kitchen again.After listening to her story, Spencer immediately volunteered. "Why don't I go instead? I'll be back right after.""You don't even know Mr. Morgan.""But–""Make the new dish you've learned. I'll try it later."…Yuna was late, so she chose to cycle to "Stanley's" manor. She called Te

Spencer immediately covered his mouth, erupting into a coughing fit. His free hand gestured toward Yuna, swaying back and forth. Seeing this, Natalie smirked while Nathaniel enjoyed the spectacle.Yuna continued eating her meal casually and asked, "Is that so?"Spencer quickly raised his head, pointing at both of them, "You two, I shouldn't have bothered worrying about you."Nathaniel retorted, "Uncle Spencer, what Nat said is true. If Mom doubts it, she can just look it up."Spencer responded, "There's nothing to look up. It's just a dish. No need for so much fuss."Looking at his reaction, Yuna knew there was more to it and teasingly asked, "Looks like you've met someone you like during the trip?""No."His swift denial made Yuna almost certain."Who is it?""Surra, really, no one."While Yuna pulled out her phone, she smiled, "You know how to keep a secret indeed. This is such great news. I have to tell Cedric. I'm sure he'll be thrilled.""Wait, wait, wait!" Spencer

After hearing Spencer's words, Yuna understood. If the two families severed ties, it meant canceling all collaboration projects. Carl, in his current state, was likely occupied with terminating all agreements with the Wycliffe family, keeping him extremely busy."In the end, it's because of me and Carl …""Even if it's not about you, Elizabeth bribed someone who once betrayed Carl. For him, it had crossed a line. He would still choose to cut ties with the Wycliffe family," Cedric interrupted her, offering reassurance.Despite this, Yuna couldn't shake the sense of unease."For Elizabeth's suicide attempt and hospitalization, won't the Wycliffe family hold Carl responsible?""It's a crude tactic, and do you really believe Elizabeth would genuinely attempt suicide?"Seeing this, Yuna felt a lingering fear. Back then, Daisy had also feigned suicide several times. Such incidents held a dark and sensitive meaning for her.Some people believed that feigning suicide would garner

Despite Yvan feeling uncomfortable, Yuna couldn't help but worry about another man. However, he had to endure it."Alright, I'll inform Terry and find a way to investigate. If there's any news, I'll let you know promptly." Yvan promised.Upon hearing this, Yuna smiled in relief. "Thank you, Mr. Morgan.""No need to thank me. After all, during this time, you've been personally taking care of my meals. It's no big deal," he said with a smile.Yuna smiled slightly and nodded.…After leaving the villa, Yuna went home briefly and learned that the two children were out playing with Spencer. She called Spencer to make sure everything was fine before heading to the research institute.While on the way, Yuna still pondered over Carl's situation with a sense of concern. Suddenly, Gianna slammed on the brakes. "What's happening?""Out of nowhere, a car rear-ended us." Gianna glanced at the rearview mirror, furrowing her brow. "Ms. Feron, you stay in the car. I'll check. Don't worry."
