Dexter arrived half an hour later.

Paul exited the car with the servants’ help and said, “Thank you, Dexter.”

“We shouldn’t have sent you to Russell Mansion in the first place. It was our mistake,” Dexter replied evenly.

Dexter handed the dessert to her and answered calmly, “The strawberry cake was popular. I had to queue up for some time.”

The dessert was packed in an exquisite box and tasted as delicious as usual. The cake melted in her mouth but did not taste as sweet as expected. She offered Dexter a bite and said, “Perhaps there’s something wrong with my taste buds, but this cake tastes bitter. You should give it a try.”
