“Jonathan,” Angela called out sharply. Her bright eyes were gleaming even more intensely. 

Jonathan appeared much better than he had in the past few days.

In her previous life, she had missed out on so much. Now, with a second chance at life, she had finally found hope. 

As long as someone was alive, there was always hope. 

Filled with enthusiasm after calling out, she skipped over. 

Upon spotting him sitting alone, she dashed over with a goofy grin and moved him from the shadows into the sunlight by the floor–to–ceiling window. “Jonathan, come and bask in the sun. It’s good for your health.” 

Jonathan was instantly bathed in the golden sunlight, and his honey–colored skin glowed in its embrace. 

He cast his gaze downward to observe the sunlight shining on his knees. The cold expression on his face softened a bit. “Sure.” 

Having guided him into the sunlight, she pulled out a box of double–layered milk pudding and offered it 

to him. 

“Jonathan, you won’t find this outside. Give it a try.” 

The double–layered milk pudding she made was different from the homemade variety. She opted for the kind available in modern tea shops, which featured a slightly firmer gelatinous texture that blended. seamlessly into the milk tea, while still maintaining a delightful softness and tenderness. 

Jonathan examined the double–layered milk pudding in his hand, and as he did, he narrowed his eyes. slightly. 

Opening another box, Angela handed it to Sebastian and teased, “Sebastian, you should try it too.” 

Despite Sebastian’s desire to eat, he hesitated to do so in front of Jonathan. He took it but remained still and attentively observed the latter’s reaction. 

Jonathan rarely indulged in regular meals, let alone sweets. Most of the food Carrie prepared ended up in his possession. 

The double–layered milk pudding displayed a creamy white hue adorned with a scattering of shiny red beans. A single glance hinted at its delectable taste. 

Upon taking a bite, it practically melted in the mouth, delivering an instant burst of rich milk flavor. It was indeed a delightful dessert and quite rare. 

Jonathan didn’t have much of a sweet tooth, but seeing Angela staring at him and seemingly waiting for his evaluation, he took a spoonful and tasted it, and his lips curled slightly. “It’s delicious.” 

Angela’s eyes widened. 

Jonathan could actually smile!

In both her past and present lives, she had seen him many times, but he always seemed like he was incapable of smiling and always maintained a cold, unapproachable demeanor. 

Christopher once mentioned that Jonathan was not only physically unwell but also emotionally numb. He even treated his father and grandfather coldly, unlike a normal person. 

Jonathan’s faint smile disappeared. “What’s the matter?” 

Even though she didn’t know the dispute between Jonathan and the Sanders Family, since Jonathan was kind to her, a stranger, it seemed that the problem lay with the Sanders Family. 

Angela snapped back to reality and beamed at him. Jonathan, this is the first time I’ve seen you smile. You look fantastic when you do. There’s a popular guy at our school that many girls like, but I think he’s not as handsome as you!” 

“Really?” He looked at her for a moment, then lowered his eyes and responded indifferently. “Do you like 

him too?” 

Oh no, Jonathan wouldn’t think she was fickle, would he? That she had dumped Christopher and now liked the popular guy, that she was the kind of girl who liked whoever she saw? 

Angela swiftly shook her head. “No, no, I don’t even know him! You’re way more handsome, and you’ve got wealth. If I were to like someone, it would be you.” 

Angela paused when she realized how strange her words sounded. 

“Um… what I mean is, you should smile more. A good mood is a great remedy for illness. Medical research even suggests that a positive mood can combat cancer cells,” she added desperately and was unsure if he bought her explanation. 

Sebastian, however, was excitedly asking, “Angela, is that true?” 

Master Jonathan hasn’t smiled in a long time. When was the last time he did? In the past, he used to smile, but unfortunately, not anymore… Sebastian tried to remember, but he could only recall the times from Jonathan’s youth. 

Sebastian couldn’t be happier and looked at her as if she were his lucky star. 

Angela let out a sigh of relief, turned around, and started explaining to Sebastian, “Maintaining a good mood is beneficial for your health. Look at me. Even when people annoy me, I find happiness eventually. As the saying goes. Don’t get angry when others do because it won’t help you. If I die of anger, who would be pleased? Besides, it’s exhausting and harmful.” 

Upon hearing “don’t get angry,” he understood. 

Jonathan rarely lost his temper, and he was consistently somber. In the future, Angela knew she needed to make more effort to brighten his spirits. 

Although she was young, she had profound knowledge. As Charlotte Fisher’s granddaughter, she was truly a valuable asset. It was a good idea to have Angela visit more often to share her wisdom with Jonathan. 

As they talked, Jonathan finished his double–layered milk pudding, and his previously uneasy expression returned to normal. Angela noticed the small plastic box looked especially tiny in his large hand when he turned his head.
