Ste smiled. “Yeah.”
The two ate the noodles quietly in a cozy atmosphere.
Miguel had eaten all sorts of expensive delicacies over the years, yet his favorite was still the taste of
home cooking.
After finishing eating, she raised her head up, pulled a tissue paper, and said out of nowhere, “I met
Weston today.”
The man’s hand, which was holding the fork, froze, and he looked up at her almost immediately. “When
did it happen? Why didn’t you tell me until now?”
She wiped her mouth and tossed the tissue paper into the ss jar beside her. “It was just downstairs
from where we were dining. Someone had booked the ce, it was his birthday.”
He snorted. “I have totally forgotten about that. He turns thirty today, right?”
Then, he put down his fork and spat out two words. “Old
man.”
She found it hrious to see him looking so childish.
She covered her nose and giggled, though her reaction didn’t escape his eyes
“What are youughing at? Was I wrong? Isn’t he an old
man?”
He raised his eyebrows, puffed up his chest suddenly, and
hinted at Ste.
“You know, men’s bodies start to go downhill when they
reach thirty, and so does their sex drive. Luckily you had
Elias and Emma when he was in his twenties. If you want
to have children in the future, you will need to find a
young man in his twenties. An old man won’t be as good!”
After he said that, he saw the smile on her face slowly
disappeared.
He suddenly remembered something and regretted what
he had said. “Sorry, I don’t mean that…”
He knew that Ste was no longer able to have children.
It was already a miracle for her to be able to give birth to
this pair of twins. But it was also because someone had
taken good care of her body, just so that she was in a state
to be able to conceive. It was why she could get pregnant.
He hastened to remedy the situation. “I’m not that fond
of children either, and if it weren’t for Elias and Emma, I
find children very annoying whenever I see them.”
She knew he was trying to remedy the situation and
interrupted him. “Let’s not talk about that.”
She still refused to bring this up. It felt awkward.
Miguel sighed and changed the topic. “What was his reaction to seeing you?”
She shrugged. “No particr reaction. I expected this. But … he thought Elias and Emma were his
kids.”
“How about you? What did you say?”
“Of course, I denied it.”
“He should not believe it.” He shook his head. “With that
man’s character, he’ll probably investigate you.”
Just as he said that, his phone rang.
He looked at his phone and speed–read the message. Then, he raised the corner of his lips and said
sarcastically, “He has already done it. He has been investigating you, and now he is investigating me. I
bet he will find out everything about Cicily soon.”
She stood up indifferently, cleared the table, and went to the kitchen to do the washing up.
After that, she came back, sat in front of him, and said, “I
am not the same person I was before, so what if he investigates? I am not the same Ste who is at his
mercy anymore. If he wants to hurt those I care about, he’ll have
to ask me first.”
A hint of sharpness shed across her
eyes.
Miguel was stunned, and a strong,plex feeling rose
in his heart.
He thought that he should not have sobered up yet.
Otherwise, why would he feel so hot?
“Well, since they’re both asleep, I’ll go first. Tell me if he gives you a hard time. Don’t carry it alone.”
She knew he was referring to Weston. “Don’t worry. I can
handle it myself.”

After the meeting today and seeing Weston’s attitude, she already got a picture of the situation.
It seemed he still had feelings for her.
Ste smiled faintly but felt that it was a little ironic.
