Ava frowned, thinking for a moment before saying, “For example, when you cook, you can prepare more foods known to enhance male vitality. Then, while talking to Maxwell, you can reassure him, saying that no matter what happens, you’ll always stay by his side. If he really has an issue, this might give him a way to admit it without feeling too pressured.”
Mona nodded slightly, thinking that Ava’s suggestion made sense. She decided to try it out at lunch today to see if she could figure out whether Maxwell was really capable or not
The two continued chatting, but just as they were about to leave, Mona noticed a familiar figure walking toward them. She instinctively wanted to pull Ava away, but before she could, she heard a voice, “Ava, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to see you here
The person approaching was none other than Soren, the man who had taken Ava’s heart in the previous life and caused her tragic death. Mona’s eyes instantly filled with anger, her grip on Ava’s arm tightening subconsciously. Mona was unable to hide her deep resentment.
Ava sensed Mona’s sudden tension. Knowing Mona disliked Soren, any positive feelings Ava had for him vanished. Casually, she said, “Yeah, what a coincidence. But I have something urgent to do, so I’ll be heading out. Goodbye, Mr. Sterling”
With that, she grabbed Mona and hurried out of the coffee shop,
Soren watched them leave, adjusting his glasses with a bitter smile.
The cold air outside finally cleared Mona’s head a bit. She gripped Ava’s arms tightly, staring straight at her and saying, “Ava, stay far away from him in the future. He’s not a good person. If you don’t believe me, you can hack into his computer and see if there’s any proof.”
After Mona spoke, she felt that her method hadn’t worked. Soren was too cunning. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained undetected all this time. It wasn’t until after her death that he married Ava, and it was during their honeymoon abroad that he finally made his move. Now, he must have nothing on his computer.
Mona added, “Actually, forget it. Even if you hack it, it won’t help. He’s way too crafty. Just trust me. Stay away from him. If you see him again, just leave, like today.”
Ava looked at Mona, who seemed unusually anxious. She couldn’t help but touch her forehead, asking. “Mona, are you Okay? It feels like you have some deep grudge against him. But don’t worry, I’ll listen to you and stay far away from him. Even if you don’t have proof, I trust you. You’re my best evidence
Mona hugged Ava gently. “I’m fine. I’m just glad you trust me. He’s really not a good guy, so please, don’t ever go out with
him.”
“Okay, I promise.”
After returning home alone, Mona couldn’t shake a lingering sense of unease. She remembering her plan to make a special meal.
sat on the couch for a while before.
She messaged Maxwell to ask if he’d be coming home for lunch, and after receiving configuration, she searched online for foods that boost vitality, like seafood, nuts, spinach, kale, red meat, etc.
Mona glanced between the ingredients on her phone screen and the contents of her fridge. Not many of the recommended foods were available, so she asked Hattie to buy a few common ones and deliver them
Once everything was ready, Mona began cooking. Since it was just the two of them, she didn’t need to prepare much. She made some spinach and red neat, with some seafood.
When Maxwell came home, he immediately noticed the dishes on the table and frowned slightly. He had no idea Mona liked spinach this much

“Okay. Do you like today’s dishes? If you do, I’ll make them again tonight, Moria said as she stared at the food in front of her. Truth be told, she wasn’t a fan of spinach either.

“Great! Then come home early tonight, and I’ll make more for you. Oh, Maxwell, I just want to say that no matter what happens. I’ll always stand by you. I won’t abandon you, so you can tell me anything” Mona said, following the script had given her.

Mona immediately replied: [No, nothing. But every time we eat, he seems like he wants to say something. Honestly, I’ve given up. If it comes to it, we’ll just adopt a child in a few years.]
