Hearing this, Kaia’s eyes sparkled with amusement, and she laughed. “I’ll keep that option open for consideration.”
“That’s a good girl,” Jane perked up instantly.
She noticed that since the divorce, her daughter’s playful nature had returned. Honestly, what good had marriage ever brought women
anyway?
After dinner, Kaia immediately stood up to clear the dishes. The housekeeper had already left for the day.
“Leave it, I’ll do it!” Jane quickly pushed her back down. “You don’t need to lift a finger today. Just relax.”
‘Why not? I’m going to be freeloading meals here every single day from now on. I need to pull my weight.” Kaia tried to wrestle the dishes back to
wash them.
‘You’re the main character today. How can we make the main character do chores?” Jane beamed.
‘What main character?” Kaia was completely lost.
‘The leading lady who just got her freedom back,” Jane said with a massive grin.
Kaia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Around eleven o’clock the next morning, inside a trendy café, a slightly plump woman carrying a designer tote bag walked in.
Dexter quickly raised his hand. “Ms. Jenny, over here.”

This attractive, elite-looking man sitting in front of her was exactly her type. The menu in her hands suddenly seemed completely uninteresting.

ny considered herself a woman of refined tastes. She took her time dering a few delicate dishes, then sat up straight, playing with her hair ke a proper lady while shooting Dexter electrically charged looks. “So, the handsome Mr. Walton wants to ask about Kaia? What’s your relationship with her anyway?”
Dexter forced a smile. “I’m just asking on behalf of a friend. I don’t really have any connection to her. This is a token of my friend’s appreciation.”
Dexter slid an envelope across the table. Jenny peeked inside, instantly satisfied, and snatched it up with a wide grin. “Oh, Kaia. We were college roommates, and we worked in the same lab. I know practically everything there is to
