    The person who had been bumped into also froze in surprise when she saw Steven.


    “I… I’m sorry, I was in a hurry and didn’t see you. I didn’t mean to,” Annie quickly exined.

    After a brief moment of shock, Steven’s expression returned to normal. “It’s fine.” He then


    turned to leave.


    “You… How have you beentely?” Annie asked, staring at Steven with a hint of hesitation.


    Steven’s tone was cold as he responded, “I’m okay.”


    Annie watched in disbelief as Steven walked away. She hadn’t expected him to be so distant after


    such a long time apart, treating her as if they were strangers:


    Her face paled slightly. Just then, a man, Neville McCarthy, approached her and wrapped his arms


    around her.


    “Weren’t you going to the restroom? Why are you still out here?” Neville asked.


    Annie forced a smile, her face still a bit pale. “I identally bumped into someone,” she


    replied.


    “Did you hurt yourself?” he asked with concern.


    “No,” Annie said, discreetly pushing him away before entering the restroom.


    After they finished eating, Steven and Charles went their separate ways to take care of their


    tasks.


    Skr drove Janine and Harvey home before returning to her ce. Just as she stepped inside, Joe


    followed her in.


    “What happened to Lizzie’s family?” she asked, exchanging nces with him.


    “She said her brother has been trying to take his own life these past few days. She suspects there’s


    something wrong at home. About a year ago, he suddenly changed. He became depressed and


    stopped talking to anyone around him,” Joe said.


    While speaking, they changed into slippers before heading inside. Skr took two bottles of yogurt


    from the fridge and handed one to Joe. Then, they both sat down on the couch.


    Skr said, “That does sound unusual. If it’s convenient, let’s go tomorrow. I’ll be taking Harvey and


    my mom on a trip in a couple of days. I’m worried that it might be toote if we wait until I get back.”


    She had mentioned the trip with Harvey to Joe before.

    However, hearing Skr mention the vacation now made Joe’s expression darken slightly.


    “Have you thought about how you will make it up to me when you return?”


    Skr felt that sometimes Joe could be quite childish. He looked a bit pitiful at the moment. What do


    you want? Just tell offered readily.


    “shea


    Joe lowered his gaze to her, his eyes sparkling with a hint of desire. “How about we do something


    while sitting?”


    “What?” Skr didn’t understand at first.


    But in an instant, she caught on and blushed. “Joe, we’re discussing Lizzie’s family issues here. Can


    you please clear your mind of those thoughts?”


    Joe smirked. “It’s been half a month since we had any intimacy; hasn’t it? Are you trying to drive me


    crazy?”


    Skr jumped up suddenly and said, “I’ll go call Lizzie. You can have a bottle of yogurt to calm


    down.”


    Watching her flee in embarrassment, Joe smiled as he opened the bottle of yogurt.


    He loved seeing Skr flustered. It made it hard for him to control himself.


    Skr stepped onto the balcony to call Lizzie.
