Michelle did not push further, concluding with a simple, “Thank you”
Caught in a tangle of feelings, Jonathan was unsure how to react to her. Shirley, on the
other hand, considered Michelle ast nothing more than an acquaintance due to their post.
Polite small talk sufficed. She had no interest in any further ille chatter.
Looking out into the courtyard, she wondered when Cynthia and Mandy would finish their
discussion. After their previous incident, Shirley’s reference to Mandy had shifted from
‘Aunt Mandy‘ to ‘Madam Manly‘, a formal and detached title.
Meanwhile, outside in the courtyard, Cynthia and Mandy sat on outdoor chairs, separated
by a small round table. Mandy seemed more format, her words polite and reserved, “What

“There’s a minor matter I want to discuss. As it’s just the two of us, I’ll get straight to the
point. Why do you wish to be with my father?” Cynthia stated in her typically blur: fashion,
her tone as indifferent as ever.
“Erm. Mandy was taken aback by the question. In her view, Cynthia was an extremely cold
person, one who would disdain discussing such matters even if she knew them. However,
now that she had suddenly questioned, Mandy found herself at a lass for words.

Mandy’s heart was far from calm, she finished her sentence.
Cynthia gave her a sidelong glance. Her gaze was indifferent, but it made Mandy’s heart
