frowned, thinking for a moment before saying, "For example, when you cook, you can prepare more foods known to enhance male vitality. Then, while talking to Maxwell, you can reassure him, saying that no matter what happens, you'll always stay by his side. If he really has an issue, this might give him a way to admit it without feeling too pressured." Mona nodded slightly, thinking that Ava's suggestion made sense. She decided to try it out at lunch today to see if she could figure out whether Maxwell was really capable or not continued chatting, but just as they were about to leave, Mona noticed a familiar figure walking toward them. She instinctively wanted to pull Ava away, but before she could, she heard a voice, "Ava, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here The person approaching was none other than Soren, the man who had taken Ava's heart in the previous life and caused her tragic death. Mona's eyes instantly filled with anger, her grip on Ava's arm tightening subconsciously. Mona was unable to hide her deep resentment. Ava sensed Mona's sudden tension. Knowing Mona disliked Soren, any positive feelings Ava had for him vanished. Casually, she said, "Yeah, what a coincidence. But I have something urgent to do, so I'll be heading out. Goodbye, Mr. Sterling" With that, she grabbed Mona and hurried out of the coffee shop, Soren watched hed them leave, adjusting his glasses with a bitter smile.

The cold air outside finally Mona's head a bit. She gripped Ava's arms tightly, staring straight at her and saying, "Ava, stay far away from him in the future. He's not a good person. If you don't believe me, you can hack into his computer and see if there's any proof." After ona spoke, she felt that her method hadn't worked. Soren was too cunning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained undetected all this time. It wasn't until after her death that he married Ava, and it was during their honeymoon abroad that he finally made his move. Now, he must have nothing on his computer.

Mona added, "Actually, forget it. Even if you hack it, it won't help. He's way too crafty. Just trust me. Stay away from him. If you see him again, just leave, like today."

Ava looked at Mona, who seemed unusually anxious. She couldn't help but touch her forehead, asking. "Mona, are you Okay? It feels like you have some deep grudge against him. But don't worry, I'll listen to you and stay far away from him. Even if you don't have proof, I trust you. You're my best evidence Mona hugged Ava gently. "I'm fine. I'm just glad you trust me. He's really not a good guy, so please, don't ever go out with him." "Okay, I promise."

After returning home alone, Mona couldn't shake a lingering sense of unease. She remembering her plan to make a special meal.

sat on the couch for a while before.

She messaged Maxwell to ask if he'd be coming home for lunch, and after receiving configuration, she searched online for foods that boost vitality, like seafood, nuts, spinach, kale, red meat, etc.

Mona glanced between the ingredients on her phone screen and the contents of her fridge. Not many of the recommended foods were available, so she asked Hattie to buy a few common ones and deliver them

Once everything was ready, Mona began cooking. Since it was just the two of them, she didn't need to prepare much. She made some spinach and red neat, with some seafood.

When Maxwell came home, he immediately noticed the dishes on the table and frowned slightly. He had no idea Mona liked spinach this much

"Great! Then come home early tonight, and I'll make more for you. Oh, Maxwell, I just want to say that no matter what happens. I'll always stand by you.

She figured that with these vitality-boosting foods and her heartfelt promises, if Maxwell really had a problem, he'd by now,

For two days straight, their dining table was filled with foods to boost vitality, and each time Mona reaffirmed her loyalty and commitment. Every time, Maxwell felt like he had something to say but swallowed his words when he saw her eager expression

At night, Mona lay in bed, venting to Ava over WhatsApp about the foods she'd been eating. She thought. If I keep this up. 1 think I'm going to throw up. My mouth is filled with the smell of spinach. Even after brushing my teeth. I still

Ava said: [You've been eating vitality-boosting foods for two days straight, and you've said all those sweet, supportive things Has Maxwell shown any signs or said anything?

Mona immediately replied: [No, nothing. But every time we eat, he seems like he wants to say something. Honestly, I've given up. If it comes to it, we'll just adopt a child in a few years.]

but never does

Mona didn't care whether Maxwell was capable or not. All Mona knew was that she never wanted to eat spinach again. If she kept this up, she'd develop an eating disorder. Little did she know, Maxwell felt the same.

If tomorrow's menu still featured the same foods, he was ready to have a serious conversation with Mona. He couldn't take anymore. He needed to change up their meals. It had gotten to the point where he didn't even want to talk at work for fear of smelling like spirtach, though luckily, he rarely spoke to anyone besides Mona.

The next day, both Mona and Maxwell found the food at their respective workplaces to be unusually delicious.

When Mona got home that evening, she found Maxwell already busy in the kitchen. Worried shed be upset that he'd taken over cooking, Maxwell said, "You're back. I bought some steaks today, so I thought we'd switch things up a bit. But if you really want more spinach, I can make them tomorrow."
