Daniel paused, looking a bit sheepish. "How could I ever match up to Ms. Morris?"


    Daniel truly believed he was unworthy of the exceptional Reba.


    Sherman, with a slight parting of his lips, deadpanned, "You two, one''s a clueless yboy, and the other''s a cunning fox. You''re practically a match


    made in heaven."


    The term ‘cunning fox'' was something Sherman had picked up from Anthea recently. Talk about putting it to use.


    At that, Daniel was beside himself, rushing to defend Reba: "Sherman! You''ve got Ms. Morris all wrong! She''s not what you think; she''s genuinely


    kind-hearted! She''s helped countless people; she wouldn''t even harm a fly!"


    He couldn''t fathom why Sherman held such a deep bias against Reba. Sherman usually seemed like a sharp guy, one with a clear sense of right


    and wrong. How could he be so mistaken now?N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Without entertaining Daniel''s protests, Sherman turned and headed downstairs.


    Daniel sighed in frustration. Missing out on somee as kind-hearted as Reba—Sherman would regret it one day, and by then, it would be too


    late. Even if Sherman came to see Reba''s worth, given her character, it wasn''t guaranteed she''d reciprocate his feelings. After all, Reba wasn''t


    one to chase after wealth and power for its own sake. Daniel wished Sherman would realize this before it was toote.


    Downstairs, Anthea was embarking on a dessert-tasting adventure, devouring over a dozen tes in one go. The Michelin-starred pastry chef,


    completely astonished, asked, "Miss, aren''t you worried about putting on weight?"


    Anthea lifted her gaze slightly, smiling, "When the desserts are this divine, who cares about a little extra weight?"


    There wasn''t a pastry chef alive who didn''t revel in such praise.


    The chef beamed, "Since you''re such a fan, let me showcase my specialty, ‘Dessert Mont-nc''!”


    This dessert was a rarity in Michelin-starred restaurants, served in limited quantities. Reservations were booked up until next year.


    Anthea''s eyes sparkled. “I can''t wait!"


    As the chef began preparing the dessert on the spot, Anthea chatted with him and learned he was of Chinese descent.


    Before long, the legendary Dessert Mont-nc was ready. Kendal presented it to Anthea. "Give it a try."


    The dessert looked absolutely exquisite. Taking a spoonful, Anthea tasted the sweet, rich chocte vor exploding on her tongue. "Delicious!


    Absolutely delicious! Kendal, your skill is unmatched!"

    Karen to calling Adah a sister, and

    Few could boast such amiability.


    When Karen first met Anthea, she


    was a nobody, a ‘beggar woman.


    Sherman stood there, a rosary in hand, his presence exuding an aura of restrained power and untouchable majesty, drawing curious nces and


    spection about his identity.


    Reba spotted Sherman almost immediately and noticed he was looking her way. Sherman was watching her!


    "Reba, when did you get here? Why didn''t you let me know?" A pleasant male voice broke the silence.
