“Ash, Scarlett broke all the vases you bought for me and even called the cops on me. How could she do that? She’s plain evil!” she grumbled angrily.

“That woman has no limits, Ash. Do you really want to stay with her for the rest of your life for the sake of a child?”

Those mean remarks came straight out of Joe, the woman’s assistant’s mouth.

I took out the mushroom soup and buns and put them next to him. “Mrs. Eriksen prepared this. What do you want to eat?”

“Soup!” I nodded while folding the bag before putting it away.

I wanted to ask what he was waiting for, but I decided not to waste my time. “It’s late. I have to get back to the office now.”
