After Philip left, only Daniel and Chantelle remained in the living room.
For a moment, the silence felt awkward.
"It's not funny, Daniel. Don't ever joke like that again."
"One day, you'll find out if I'm serious or not."
"You..." Chantelle was ready to argue, but her stomach growled, making her embarrassed.
"You must be hungry. I'll make you another omelet." Daniel smiled and patted her head before walking into the elevator.
Chantelle felt completely torn inside.

Meanwhile, Ruby returned to the villa on the outskirts early in the morning after visiting James.
Roman threw a glass at her the moment she entered the living room. It barely missed the doorway.
"What's wrong, Roman?" Ruby dodged the glass and walked toward him, walking carefully over the broken shards.
She still kept some distance and instinctively stayed on guard.
"You finally decided to come back? Where were you all night?"
