Chapter 33: Chapter 33

I didn't mean to look down on Ariel. Everyone has their own way of life. Living an ordinary life is the fate of most people. I was just lucky. My family left me a bit of wealth, giving me a slightly better financial situation than others. But I was curious about Ariel's life, her job, her favorite food, and her clothing style. "This is so yummy!" Sofia wasn't a fan at first, but after a while, she started to enjoy it. After finishing a plate of sushi, she ordered yakitori. Sofia told me if she got pregnant soon after getting married, she would choose to be a stay at home mom. As for her dream of music, she might have to give it up. "If you had your family invest some money in you, you could be a big name singer now," I joked. "That would be boring If I knew I was going to win, I wouldn't want to play the game," Sofia pouted. That made me feel a bit awkward. I felt like she was talking about me. I knew Damon would end up with Ariel in the end, but I was still struggling. I was such a fool. After the meal, we did some shopping and finally went home with bags full of goodies. I had James pick me up. The Panamera was in the shop, so he drove a black Lincoln. I shoved my shopping bags into the back seat, then hopped in the front passenger seat, "go home!"

Cherry was very considerate. When I got home, she had already got ten prescriptions from her relatives and neatly placed them on the table. "Ma'am, just boil these herbs into a soup and drink it twice a day," Cherry said. "Thank you, cherry. How much do I owe you?" I reached for my wallet. "No need, ma'am. I broke your skincare products last time and didn't compensate you. Consider this my payback,"Cherry waved it off.. I didn't insist, just thanked her again. Somehow, Lisa managed to get Damon to come back that night. The moment he walked in the door, he dropped his coat, exuding a chill. I quietly ate my dinner, pretending not to see him. After Damon went upstairs, Cherry brought the herbal soup and asked, "Ma'am, should I take it up, or..." I elegantly wiped the corner of my mouth, "I'll do it." I carried the soup upstairs to the guest room. Damon must be taking a shower. The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. His phone on the table lit up. I took a ponytail shining under the sun. I recognized Ariel's back instantly. It was a stock market push notification. His lock screen was a girl's back view. She was wearing a sky- blue cotton dress. After the screen went off, I pressed it again to keep looking at the picture. Not until the sound of water stopped and the door opened did I hastily avert my eyes. "Why are you here?" Seeing me, Damon asked indifferently. His hair was wet, a few strands hanging between his brows, making him look very refreshing, as if he was several years younger. His black short-sleeve pajamas and pants made the lines of his shoulders and chest very clear. I was a bit jealous of Ariel. "Drink this." I gently pushed the bowl of herbal soup on the table. "No." Damon replied in resignation. "Then why are you back?" I was a bit puzzled, "Didn't your parents tell you to come back and take the medicine?" Seeing the annoyed look on Damon's face, I knew I had guessed right. He picked up the bowl of soup and drank it all in one go. After finishing, Damon handed me the empty bowl, "You can leave now." I took the bowl and left without hesitation. When I went downstairs and put the bowl in the kitchen, cherry was waiting there. She had a strange expression. She asked with a smile, "Ma'am, did Mr. Coleman take the medicine?"
