    Josiah was struggling to keep his temper in check. “Has the payment for the house been made?”


    Seeing that he was unwilling to believe it, Lysander nodded and said, “Yes, Ipleted all the procedures. this morning.”


    Josiahughed. “How much money did he lend you?”


    “Two million.””


    “Two million…” Josiah licked his teeth, leisurely observing her. “Two million is enough for you to cook for him.”


    Lysander didn’t feel the need to be ashamed. She looked at Josiah with a calm demeanor and countered, “Am I not allowed to?”


    “Of course you are.” Josiah managed to squeeze out the next few words through gritted teeth. “But Dr. Thorne, you shouldn’t y favorites. Don’t forget


    Lysander furrowed her brows. “Who?”

    “Before, I was repeatedly coerced by Zachary for your sake. I even handed over the most profitable project of thepany to him. Shouldn’t you show s


    “Since I’ve prepared a whole table of dishes. Dr. Sutton and I can’t finish it all. How about I pack some for you?” The look in Lysander’s eyes was hostile


    With a sarcasticugh, Josiah replied, “Thanks for the concern, but my lungs hurt more than my stomach now. I insist on calling on that debt.”


    Lysander thought about the lemon butter fish on the table that was getting cold and impatiently asked, “So, what do you want me to cook for you?”


    “Seafood.”


    Adrian mentioned. “Perhaps seafood isn’t the best choice right now. It’s generally better to avoid it when your stomach isn’t feeling well.”


    Josiah nced at Adrian and asked, “Do you have an objection, Dr. Sutton?”


    “No, Mr. Guerra. Go ahead.”


    Lysander said, “Seafood is fine. Once your stomach condition has improved, I’ll find an opportunity to cook it for you.”


    “I want it today. I want it now.”


    “Josiah, why are you acting like an unreasonable child right now?”

    “So, when he wants gratitude, it’s perfectly justified, but when I do, it’s considered unreasonable? Dr. Thome, are you being biased here?”


    Lysander was also getting frustrated. “I didn’t prepare any seafood today. There’s only one fish in the fridge.”


    “What kind of fish?”


    “Carp.”


    “Is carp considered seafood?” Josiah deliberately emphasized the word “sea.”


    This man is simply outrageous!


    Lysander took a deep breath, attempting to suppress her anger but failing. She ended upughing out of sheer frustration. “Josiah, since I’ve agreed, I w


    Josiah slightly narrowed his eyes, his aura radiating danger as he said, “Are you cursing me?”


    Lysander responded to him. “I’m just speaking from a medical perspective.”


    The tension in the atmosphere quickly returned. One could even see sparks flying between the arguing pair.


    Josiah was stubborn as a mule. Once he made up his mind, no one could ever change it. He dered on the spot, “Lysander, even if it means getting a

    Josiah said rather bluntly, “This is between Lysander and me. You should mind your own business.”


    The three of them were all fully grown adults, yet they were still making a fuss over a seafood meal.


    Lysander sighed helplessly.


    “Alright, Mr. Guerra, since you’re so eager for seafood, let’s have it. What would you like? Fish, shrimp, or crab? I’ll downstairs and buy it right now so tha


    In response, Josiah didn’t react with anger as one might expect. Instead, he seemed surprisingly calm. He pulled out his phone, speaking as if he was a

    He cast a provocative nce at Adrian; his behavior was nothing short of childish. Upon hearing this, Adrian didn’t even care to smile back, he simply re

    It was clear the meal was undoubtedly going to be an eventful one.


    Josiah was behaving like a ticking time bomb.

    As long as Adrian was there, he would continue making up fuss.


    The mere thought of the scene gave Lysander a headache. After a moment of contemtion, she made up her mind. Full of regret, she said to Adrian, “I


    Adrian was understanding.


    He said, “Don’t worry. Since you’ve worked hard on it, I should eat it to


    not let your efforts go in vain. Your should focus on cooking for Mr. Guerra, as anything between us can be easily resolved. The ‘patient‘ takes priority.”


    Lysander genuinely felt apologetic toward him and softly said, “I’m really sorry.”


    “I’m not particrly upied at the moment. I’ll leave after I help you clean up the dishes. You’ve had a long day, so it would be harsh for you toe h


    The words caused Josiah to furrow his brows.


    The way Adrian spoke about him, made him sound like a troublesome viin, deliberately making life difficult for the hardworking “couple.”


    “Dr. Sutton, you sure have a way with words,” Josiah remarked coldly. “Do you conduct sses on being a master of pretense?”


    “You sure have a sense of humor, Mr. Guerra. You know, you should get some therapy. That way, you won’t always get upset easily and cause trouble fo


    Adrian didn’t take the bait. Instead, he stood up and left.


    It wasn’t until he was standing in the hallway that he suddenly remembered something. He turned back around, bypassed Josiah to enter the living room


    Tiffany had been standing helplessly by the couch for a while, not


    knowing what to do. When she heard someone talking to her suddenly, she was taken aback. She turned around, asking hesitantly, “Dr. Sutton, are you


    The two of them were not familiar with each other at all.


    Adrian gave a warm smile, reassuring her, “Lysander has cooked quite a


    lot, and I won’t be able to finish it all by myself. If you don’t mind, why don’t you join me and give it a taste?”


    “I–Tiffany nced hesitantly at Josiah, replying with concern, “I need to stay and take care of Josiah.”


    The timid demeanor of the youngdy would stir sympathy in anyone who saw her.


    Josiah said, “Go ahead. With Dr. Thorne here, I’ll be fine.”


    Tiffany trusted Lysander, yet she instinctively nced toward Josiah. Since she was still worried, she suggested, “Why don’t we go together?”


    In Tiffany’s presence, there was too much to exin.
