A ring?

Johanna's eyes narrowed. So it only took them days from eating together to choosing rings together? Anger rose in Johanna's heart, and she struck Timothy with the blanket.

Timothy jerked at the unexpected assault. He shot up instantly, looking at Johanna in confusion, but the latter threw the blanket in her hand away and went into the dinette.

Timothy heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Asel was still playing on her own and was not frightened by what had happened. He grabbed his phone and followed after Johanna.

When he saw the messages Charlotte had sent, he was speechless. He ignored them and went into the dinette.

“Since when did I say you could stay to eat here? You're just here to see Asel,” Johanna snapped once he pulled out the chair opposite her.

“There are so many dishes. There's no way you can finish them alone,” Timothy replied, still sitting down.

Since the dishes were served and no one came in after him, Timothy knew immediately that Hector was not joining them for lunch. He felt delighted.

After tasting the soup, he praised, “Mm! This soup is good.”

“Oh, really?” Johanna sneered.

Timothy frowned at the bitterness coming from Johanna, wondering if he had done something wrong back at the greenhouse. However, he was certain that he had kept his temper under control. He had not said anything offensive to Hector either.

Don't tell me she thinks I'm shameless for staying for lunch?

That was the only possibility Timothy could think of. He coughed dryly and continued eating as if he did not hear her scoff.

Back when he was buying this house, Timothy had even asked the seller to find a cook who could make a variety of food so Johanna and the baby could be well taken care of. The cook was handsomely-remunerated.

When Timothy finally had the chance to taste the cooking, he thought it was worth paying tens of thousands every month.

Ring! Someone called while he was eating.

Seeing that it was Charlotte, Timothy stole a glance at Johanna and put Charlotte on speaker. “What do you want? I'm eating.”

“Timothy Jensen!” Charlotte roared. “I want you at General Hospital in ten minutes!”

Timothy was startled. “What for?”

“Just get here in ten minutes! I'll jump off from the rooftop if you don't get here in ten!”

The call ended.

Timothy regretted picking up Charlotte's call, but from her tone, it did not sound like she was joking, so he had no choice but to put down his cutlery.
