She recited a string of numbers.
After finishing, realizing that the passcode was actually Julian's birthday, she couldn't help but bite her lip, secretly resolving to change it later!
Seeing her expression, Dominic probably guessed the meaning behind the passcode. His eyes darkened, and he poured himself half a glass of the cocktail, taking a sip.
Sweet on the palate, with a lingering aftertaste...
It made him involuntarily think of that person again.
When they were young, they were like this too, setting their passcodes to each other's birthdays...
Dominic exhaled, took another sip, his sharp Adam's apple bobbing in suppressed emotion...
Before long, when the two kids returned, two plates of seafood were also served.
Clara put on gloves and started peeling shrimp for them.
"Don't peel," Dominic put down his glass and moved her hands away.
Clara was stunned. "Huh?"
She watched as Dominic put on gloves and started peeling the shrimp. "I'll do it, you just eat."
Clara's eyelashes fluttered, a bit in disbelief. The dignified and aloof Mr. Jarrett was actually peeling shrimp for others...
Parker grinned and said, "Clara, in our family, it's always the men who peel the shrimp!"
Saying that, he peeled one himself and handed it to her.
Clara was flattered, feeling a bit touched but also a bit wistful.
She thought about how, when she was with Julian before, she had always been the one serving him... and he had never cared about her.
"Thank you, Parker..." She took the shrimp meat.
But she didn't eat it.
She was allergic to seafood and couldn't eat shrimp.
Dominic watched as she placed the shrimp on her plate without eating it, his eyes darkening.
Parker let out a confused sound, "Why aren't you eating the shrimp, Clara?"
Clara felt a bit apologetic. Just as she was about to explain, Miles spoke up, "My aunt is allergic to seafood, she can't eat it."
Clara nodded. "That's right, so I'm sorry, Parker. I appreciate the gesture, though..."
"Ah? A seafood allergy?"
Parker exclaimed in surprise.
Thinking of something, he almost reflexively looked at Dominic. He remembered that Sarah West was also allergic to seafood.
