Unaware of her daughter’s identity being revealed, Sherri was currently having pizza with Natalie.

went out, they had to bring their children. This was the first time they left the children at home and went
on a date as best friends.
As they savored the long–awaited taste, Sherri’s mood was filled with delight, her face expressing
satisfaction. This is so good“*
The corners of Natalie’s lips curled up and picked up a slice of pizza that Sherri liked for her. “With the
way you’re eating. the waiters will think it’s your first time having pizza in the city.”
Sherri did not think it was embarrassing at all and continued to eat heartily. “I’m not ady. Why should
I pretend to be one? As long as you like me, it’s enough.”
Natalie took another slice of pizza for herself and dipped it in the hot sauce. “You’ve already seeded
in making people misunderstand our rtionship.” After saying that, she subtly motioned for Sherri to
look at the couple who had just passed by and kept ncing back at them.
Sherri burst intoughter. “Our love has been witnessed.” After saying that, she even blew a kiss in the
air towards Natalie, right in front of the passing couple..
This further increased the misunderstanding. They did not feel embarrassed at all but rather made the
couple who was watching them feel embarrassed. The two women were shamelessly disying their
affection in a more exaggerated
manner.
As long as they were not embarrassed, it was others who would feel awkward. As long as they were
thick–skinned enough, they would live with confidence.
Both of their attention was focused on the couple who had just passed by. They enjoyed the situation.
Suddenly, a mant wearing a mask sat down next to them, startling Sherri to the point where she almost
jumped up.
They both looked at the man wearing a ck mask with vignce. The man was dressed in a beige
coat, a shirt underneath. and wore a cap. The entire outfit covered himpletely, giving off a sense of
a celebrity avoiding the paparazzi.
Natalie and Sherri wore the same expression as they looked at the unexpected guest. Since the man
sat next to Sherri, she spoke first, with a slightly displeased expression on her face. “Who are you?
Why are you sitting with us?”
When the man heard her voice, he took off his hat and mask. Once the others saw his face, their
expressions turned to surprise, and they both said at the same time, “Hackett?” Their voices suddenly
rose, attracting quite a bit of attention. Hackett, with an embarrassed smile, took off his hat and greeted
them. “Hey, Mrs. Wilson.”
Natalie corrected his address to her once again. “Mr. ckwell, change how you address me. Call me
by my name. No need for formality. Besides, you are older than me.”
Sherri got annoyed and pped the back of Hackett’s head. “Are you crazy? Coming to a pizza hub as
if you’re a celebrity. Go away, don’t ruin our mood for pizzas.”
The way Hackett looked at Sherri today was a little different. He turned around to carefully observe her
and found that the child indeed resembled her to some extent, especially the mouth and the gaze. He
had never observed this woman carefully before, but now he found her to have a good figure and a
pretty face. No wonder his mother liked her so much and desperately wanted them to be together.
It was just that shecked femininity and was fierce.
But upon closer inspection, she was really good–looking, particrly captivating. Unintentionally, he
got lost in his thoughts. Sherri and Natalie did not know what was on Hackett’s mind, leaving them
puzzled.
Sherri felt a bit ufortable under his direct gaze and pped him on the back of his head again with
force. “What are you staring at? I know I’m good–looking, but it’s not for you to look at.”
After being pped, Hackett regained his senses and turned to Sherri. “You think you’re a sculpture,
charging for people to look at you? You’ve gone crazy thinking about money.”
Sherri pretended to p hum again, but this time, Hackett directly grabbed her wrist. The warmth of
his palm transferred to her wrist, causing a shiver to run through her. She stared at him with disdain
and pulled her wrist back.
Then, Hackett called the waiter and asked for an additional tableware set. “Mrs. Wilson Natalie, add
one for me as well. The meal is on me,”
Seeing Hackett had already asked for an additional tableware set, Natalie had no idea what else she
could say
Sherri did not like it. “Who asked you to pay? I have money. I don’t need the little money from you”
Hackett calmly replied, “Miss Sherri, but I need to have this meal with you more than anything else.”

Sherri could not react for a second. This guy was crazy. She nced at Natalie, indicating that Hackett
was insane. She found him quite strange today.
Natalie shrugged her shoulders in response to the exchanged nces and prepared to eat. She did not
know what was going
on either.
Hackett stood up to get the sauce, took off his coat, and ced it on the seat. Sherri, feeling annoyed,
stepped on the lining of his coat, leaving a dark mark that looked particrly conspicuous. Feeling a
bit embarrassed, she quickly covered the coat to hide the evidence of her crime.
Looking at the series of childish actions from her best friend, Natalie said. “I suspect he likes you and
came here to pursue you.”
Sherri raised her head with a slightly smug expression. “Do I look like someone easy to pursue? Since
someone is paying. let’s order some more food.”
Natalie quickly handed the menu to Sherri, knowing that she would feel better once they ordered
more.
“Order whatever you want and as much as you like.” They could not bankrupt Mr. ckwell with just a
single meal, but it would improve Sherri’s mood, so it was worth it.
After a while, Hackett returned. He could not handle spicy food, so he brought back powdered cheese
for dressing. Sherri and Natalie ordered a pizza with two different vors to satisfy their palette.
The sharp–eyed Sherri noticed the item Hackett brought back and came up with a n in her mind.
“Oh. Mr. ckwell. how can youe to Thriving Pizza Hub without trying their rmended hot
sauce? It’s so boring. Let me add some signature hot sauce for you. It’s fantastic.”
Sitting opposite, Natalie watched the two bickering in amusement and had an inexplicable urge to
Hackett lowered his gaze and saw that Sherri had already added two drops of hot sauce. Instantly, the
pizza on his te shimmered with a reddish glow of oil. He unconsciously gulped, but he held back
when he thought of his father’s words before leaving
Seeing Hackett’s furrowed brow, Sherri knew he could not handle that level of spiciness. This hot
sauce was extremely spicy. and normally she and Natalie could only add a tiny drop. But she had
added two drops for Hackett. It was impossible that he would not be overwhelmed by the spiciness.
Simply thinking of this made her mood improve a lot.
Natalie watched the show in front of her the entire time. It seemed obvious that Hackett disliked the hot
sauce on his pizza. but she also wanted to see how he would handle it.
Seeing that Hackett did not pick up the pizza for a long time, Sherri began to urge him, adopting a
warm and polite tone as if he were a guest in her home. “Mr. ckwell, why aren’t you eating? If you
don’t like it, there’s no need to force yourself Just get up and leave.” It was a clear threat. He could
either eat or leave. If he wanted to stay and eat, he had to finish that slice
of pizza with the hot sauce.
Provoked by Sherri Hackett took a deep breath and tremblingly picked up the slice of pizza. It was just
having some hot sauce, what could be difficult for him? Hackett ckwell, the heir of the ckwell
family in Athana. With a resigned look on his face, he picked up a bit of spinach on the pizza, dipped it
in the sauce, and put it directly into his mouth. Instantly, his taste buds exploded with the fiery heat, and
a surge of spiciness rushed to his head. He resisted the urge to jump up and look for water, but his
facial expression was already unsightly
Natalie could not bear to watch, her eyebrows furrowed in sympathy, and she asked, “Is it good?” She
noticed that Hackett did not chew much before swallowing This level of spiciness was difficult even for
her and Sherri to handle.
Hackett had already cursed Sherri for thousand times in his heart. “Damn it, I will y you to death one
day. Revenge is a dish best served cold” With great difficulty, he forced a smile, and against his will, he
said. “It’s okay, it’s pretty good”
Natalie’s mouth twitched awkwardly, wondering what was going on with Mr. ckwell today How could
he endure Sherr so well. Then, she thought to herself “If you like it, then you could eat more. There’s
no need to be polite to eat less” After all, Hackett was paying the bill However, she did not say her
thoughts out loud, just kept them in her mind.
Sherri was not a fool With just one look, she could tell that this guy could not handle spicy food. Seeing
him in such a state made her extremely happy. She enthusiastically picked up another slice of pizza for
Hackett. “Eat more, have some other vors to bnce the spiciness”
Harkett wanted to thank her but resisted the urge. He endured and did not mention anything about their
child.
On the way here, he had already thought of a n to get his daughter back. He could not let Mr. Wilson
have such a cute daughter
After about 40 minutes of eating. Hackett had already drunk six bottles of yogurt Basically, he would
take a bite of food and then a sip of yogurt, otherwise, it would be difficult to swallow due to the
spiciness. Toward the end, he found it hard to continue. The heat seemed to rise from his throat, his
head buzzing, and the air he exhaled was hot. He did not understand why so many people liked to eat
spicy food and enjoyed it so much. Some people even could not live without it. They were crazy. He
could not ept it anymore. If he continued rating, the spiciness would send him to death. He made up
his mind never to eat it again.

He slowly put down the pizza and pretended nothing was wrong, but the color of his lips exposed that
he could not handle the ciness anymore. “Natalie, I have some business to attend to at thepany,
so I’ll leave first. I’ll pay, you guys continue esting ”
Natalie could tell that he had reached his limit, so she did not hesitate and said, “Sure, thanks”
Sherri, in a great mood, said. “Mr. ckwell, take care. Let’s eat together next time if you’d like.
At this moment. Hackett just wanted to leave and find some water to drink. His stomach was full of hot
sauce, and he felt like there was still the sauce sloshing around inside him. Hearing Sherri’s words, he
paused, and his footsteps, which had started moving towards the exit, turned back to provoke her “If I
invite you next time, you dare toe.
As expected. Sherri was provoked without thinking “If you invite me, I dare toe. I’m not afraid of
you.”
Satished with the response, Hackett secretlyughed to himself. “Alright, remember your words. Do not
be afraid like a
chicken”
Sherri had not realized that she had been trapped. She disdainfully snorted.
Har kert did not bother saying anything more to her and left hastily, walking away quickly Sherri
watched his back and could not help but let a smile creep onto her face. “It’s so funny. He must be
looking for water to drink”
Natalie was also feeling full. As she recalled Hackett’s expression while having the hot sauce, she
could not help but feel a little sorry for him. But then she had a second thought. Could it be that Mr.
ckwell had really fallen for Sherri‘ Many doubts filled her mind.
“I suspect that he might actually like you. Otherwise, how could he endure your prank? You two have
never beenpatible, and I’ve never seen him give in to you like this”
Sherri was in a good mood and did not mind. She responded indifferently. “Who cares? In any case.
I’m not that easy to get anyway
