He knew Carlotta Sterling had never let go of Nathan Mills in her heart, which was why she always kept him at a distance. But isn’t Nathan Mills remarried?

So why did he come here with roses? Was he trying to make Carlotta a mistress? Harlan Quinn was feeling emotional, and his eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

Carlotta looked at him, "Thank you for bringing me back. You should head back now." After saying that, she averted her gaze and got out of the car.

Little did she know, Harlan Quinn also got out of the car, and the two of them closed their doors almost simultaneously.

In Nathan Mills’ line of sight, Harlan Quinn took off his coat and walked to Carlotta’s side, saying, "Be careful not to catch a cold." He draped his long coat over her shoulders.

Such an intimate gesture, occurring right under Old Mills’ nose, was quite a shock to him.

Before Carlotta could refuse, Harlan Quinn had already draped it over her and gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze, then turned back to the driver’s seat.

Carlotta watched as he reversed the car and soon drove away.

Nathan Mills’ gaze remained fixed on Carlotta’s face. At first, only his body felt cold, but now even his heart was chilled.

Carlotta looked away and caught sight of the disappointment in his eyes.

Carlotta hadn’t anticipated that Old Mills would witness Harlan Quinn bringing her back and covering her with his coat.

Even though she was divorced, she still felt a little guilty, thinking that it didn’t seem right.

And Old Quinn just now... It was clearly intentional.

Especially when Carlotta noticed Old Mills’ nose tip turning red from the cold, her heart inexplicably felt a pang. He was still holding a bouquet of her favorite roses.

Have you been waiting long?

"Um..." Carlotta spoke up bashfully, "Did you want to see me for something?"

Nathan Mills suppressed all the emotions within him. He didn’t leave immediately, knowing that Carlotta was single and free to make her own choices in friendships.

"Come on in."

Carlotta buried her head as she walked towards the living room, entered the password, and opened the door, thinking that he was quite silly for not coming in even though he knew the password.

But Carlotta also understood that this was Old Mills’ way of showing respect for her, which made her feel a bit melancholic.

Once inside, she immediately turned on the heating.

Nathan Mills placed the roses on the coffee table and honestly felt quite uncomfortable.

Even though that man had driven far away, Nathan Mills’ mind kept conjuring his image – tall, refined, and exuding a mature masculine charm.

Carlotta took off Harlan Quinn’s trench coat and hung it up absentmindedly.

Without turning around, she asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No."

Carlotta headed to the kitchen, and after a while without seeing any sign of her, Nathan Mills curiously walked over, only to see that she had turned on the gas and was boiling water in a pot.

"What are you doing?" Nathan Mills was surprised.

Carlotta left him with a busy back view, "Cooking some noodles for you."

This simple act made Nathan Mills doubt his own ears! She was actually cooking noodles for him???

This was... a treatment he had never experienced in his life!

Nathan Mills was a bit flattered; this man, otherwise so composed and confident in the business world, found himself a bit at a loss.

Thinking about that man earlier, his heart was again a jumble of mixed emotions.

Meanwhile, also at noon.

In the Morgan family dining room, aside from Hailey’s maternity meal, the table was full of Jocelyn Morgan’s favorite dishes. The plentiful meal was the Morgan family’s abundant love for her.

Seated at the table, Jocelyn picked up her chopsticks, her heart brimming with a bittersweet feeling, "I’m sorry, Uncle, Aunt, Brother, Sister-in-law, for making you worry."

Everyone smiled, then reassured her, "It’s all good as long as you’re back and well. Why dwell on these things?"

"For now, just focus on recovering, rest well, and take a break from updating your novel."

In truth, she felt even more guilty towards Ian Shelby, as her lack of vigilance led to his being misunderstood by her family.
