    She and him were like chalk and cheese, but somehow they just clicked. Everyone passing them by


    couldn’t help but steal nces.


    Out of the blue, Comelia plucked up the courage and poked his face. ‘I’m flirting with my hubby. Can’t


    you tell?”


    Jeremy was left speechless.


    This man, who never backed down in the business world, was now blushing. Flustered, he tried to


    change the subject. “How’s Hannah’s situationing along?”


    Cornelia teased him. “Hubby, why are you blushing?”


    Jeremy grabbed her fidgeting hand. “We’re discussing serious matters here.”


    Comelia replied, “Discussing how much I miss you?”


    Getting bolder with every move, Comelia got Jeremy worried she might do something over the top in


    public. “Can we talk about


    Hannah?”


    Taking into ount Jeremy’s health and Cornelia having just given birth, they both knew it wasn’t the


    time for intimacy, so Cornelia decided to y it cool. She earnestly said, “With President Dixon


    involved, I’m not too worried. But Hannah doesn’t trust him, and mending fences with her might not be


    easy.”


    Jeremy replied, “Steven saw the light earlier than Zavier, so there’s still a shot.”


    Cornelia countered, ‘Not necessarily. Hannah has shared how Steven bullied her. He’s really broken


    her heart. If I were her, I wouldn’t forgive him.”


    Jeremy said, “Let’s drop it. What do you want for dinner? I’ll have Patricia get on it.”


    Cornelia gave it some thought. Patricia’s cooking had improved by leaps and bounds, but Cornelia


    couldn’t decide what she wanted. Having Patricia around and having just given birth, it had been


    months since shest went grocery shopping or cooked. She felt like cooking a meal herself, enjoying it


    with her husband over a little wine and just spending some quality time together.


    She said, “Hold on, let me text Dr. Lester.”


    Jeremy asked, “What are you texting?”


    Without replying, Cornelia quickly typed, [Dr. Lester, can Jeremy drink?]


    Dr. Lester responded promptly. [He’s always had a weak stomach. The medication he’s been on hasn’t


    been great for it, either. Absolutely no alcohol at this stage. If he wants a drink, you have to stop him.


    You’re the only one who can.])


    Feeling a pang of guilt, Cornelia realized she hadn’t been attentive enough, [Actually, it’s me who wants


    a drink, not him.]


    Cornelia texted back, [Don’t worry. I won’t let him drink.]


    Dr. Lester texted, (If you want a drink, I’ll send over a couple of bottles of my homemade juice. It tastes


    like alcohol, but it’s alcohol–free. You can treat it as wine.]


    Cornelia responded, [When did youe up with this brilliant idea?)

    Dr. Lester replied, [All for Marc.]


    Jeremy’s certain organs had beenpromised, and there was no turning back. Dr. Lester had been


    thinking, that if Jeremy ever craved alcohol but couldn’t consume any, it would be a real bummer. So,


    he began developing a special juice months ago. The juice tasted simr to alcohol but was non–


    alcoholic, so Jeremy could drink it whenever he felt like having a drink. Surprisingly, just as he finished


    creating this alcohol–free juj?e, it found its first takers.
