Adrian swallowed his words and forced a smile on his lips. “Mommy, this tastes good.”

“Really? I’m glad to hear that!”

Eliana was thrilled to discover she had a knack for baking.

Eliana excitedly picked up the remaining slices of apple pie and brought them downstairs. She wanted to gift them to her new neighbor to say hello.

When she got downstairs, this floor was bustling with workers. They walked in and out, transporting boxes into the apartment unit downstairs.

Eliana sighed in exasperation. No wonder it was so noisy outside. She felt overwhelmed as she looked at the sea of boxes. They must be redecorating this apartment.

Two workers suddenly approached her. They were carrying an oil painting so large that they couldn’t see where they were going. The men didn’t notice Eliana was standing behind them and collided her.

“Ah!”

Eliana didn’t notice their approach, and she was surprised when they bumped into her. She lost her balance and tumbled forward.

“Watch out!”

A muscular arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.

A moment later, Eliana looked up and saw a familiar face.

Recognition dawned on her face. “Maurice!” she exclaimed.

“Stand on your feet before you speak! Be more mindful of where you’re going,” Maurice commented with a frown.
