Stanley cocked his eyebrows ever so slightly as he met his son’s eyes with a warm gaze.

“Daddy… Don’t tell me you forgot all about this!” Samuel’s eyes widened with shock. “There was a lady around when you made the promise that day we came over to bring you chicken soup! She can be our witness if you forgot about it!”

Naturally, Stanley remembered what he said, but… he had spoken non–committedly at the time.

Pamela blinked her watery doe eyes at him. “Grownups won’t lie, right, Daddy?”

“Even if you forgot about it earlier, you must’ve remembered by now, right?” Samuel pressed.

Stanley nodded to the two children who stared at him with interrogating gazes. “I didn’t forget, of course.”

““Yay!” the children cheered elatedly.

Monica was standing at the door. She saw Stanley bending down to do a pinky promise with the children. His lips were curved into a smile. She couldn’t remember how long it’d been since she last saw him smile

like that.

As she watched him, she felt both pleased by and jealous of the sounds of laughter coming from inside the office.

She only walked into the room when she saw the children kissing him goodbye.

Her eyes fell on the children’s faces. They looked like precious little dolls with chubby cheeks that made them even more adorable.

Stanley was holding Pamela’s hand, and just like last time, he completely ignored Monica’s presence as he walked past her.

Meanwhile, Pamela glanced back at Monica. Does that pretty lady have feelings for Daddy?

Stanley finally spotted Monica. He sat down at his desk and was back to his usual cold and aloof self.

Monica walked over to him. She knew his time was precious, so she got straight to the point. “I invited a gastroenterologist from Findel over. It’s extremely hard to book his time. He’ll arrive in Riverdale at 8.00AM tomorrow. Please spare two hours of your time for him to do a diagnosis.”

“You don’t need to go through all that effort.” Stanley had a neutral expression on his face. “I’m fine. You should just focus on your work.”

“Stanley, I don’t want to see you-”

“I’ve given you a very clear answer.” His gaze was Keller?”

Their gazes met and the aloof indifference in his eyes made Monica feel deeply upset.

Alas, she had no choice. After seeing his attitude, she knew she would not be able to convince him.

Thus, Monica turned around and left with a wounded heart after having been rejected by him.

Out in the corridor, she called Taylor. “Are you busy, Taylor?”

“Not really. Where are you, Monica?”

“Let’s just talk on the phone. I can’t carve out the time to see you.” Monica walked over to a balcony and leaned against the railing as she took in the view of the city. “novelxo.com fast updateHe’s so stubborn and refuses to see the expert.”

“Actually…”

“For the past two years, I’ve been trying to locate an acclaimed gastroenterologist from abroad for him,” Monica cut Taylor off softly. “After all, my efforts, I am finally able to get the doctor to fly in, but he won’t even give me two hours of his time.” Her tone was full of disappointment.

“Mr. Fox’s condition has improved a lot. Did you know that he can eat regular food now?” Taylor asked.

“What did you say?” Monica was stunned.

“Not all food,” Taylor added. “He’s picky about the chef and right now, he can eat food prepared by a specific chef.”

“That’s great! I had no idea…” Monica was thrilled on Stanley’s behalf. “He should hire the chef at all costs. Where’s the chef now?”

“I’m not sure about that, but don’t worry. His condition is improving.”

So, is that why Stanley rejected seeing the doctor I invited over for him?

Monica was not as upset anymore.

It’s because his condition is improving. It’s not because he hates me, she comforted herself.

After ending the call with Taylor, Monica called the gastroenterologist and communicated with him in fluent Findellian as she apologized profusely.

At night.

The villa at Emerald Harbor was brightly lit.

Melinda didn’t enter the kitchen. She didn’t make any food for Stanley. After all, she was still furious over Jennifer’s treatment of her.

When Stanley got home, he immediately went upstairs to his study and threw himself into his work… Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Gael was fretting over how Stanley and Melinda seemed to have turned into total strangers today. They didn’t even greet each other when Mr. Fox came home.

This won’t do! I must do something to change whatever’s going on between them!
