"Yup, not a lot of women like their coffee bitter."
Shaun sat down on the couch opposite Sarah. He was suddenly reminded of the woman at home. Catherine, for one, had a sweet tooth. She always had her coffee with lots of sugar and cream.
Sarah noticed the way he was lost in thoughts. This man was sitting right in front of her but he was distracted. Evidently, he was thinking about another woman.
He would not have done this in the past.
Her heart sank, and before she closed the file, she smiled. "I'm 80% confident that I can treat your condition completely and prevent future relapses."
A ray of light appeared in his eyes. He parted his lips t o say something when Elie called him.
"Eldest Young Master Hill, Young Madam has left the manor to head to the court."
His face fell instantly. "Didn't I tell you that she's not allowed to leave the manor for the time being?”
"I'm sorry, but Young Madam threatened the children's lives..." she explained helplessly.
"Very well." Enraged, he almost threw his phone away.
That woman was even using the children's and her own life to threaten him now. Did she really care so little about the children? Were the twins less important to her than Charity?
He felt both angry and disappointed at the same time.
The man sprung to his feet. "Let's do this another day. I need to be somewhere else now."
“Sure, but it's best not to put it off or the chances of recovery will become slim." Sarah shoved her phone into her purse.
The two of them headed downstairs together. Melanie, who was walking out from the corridor nearby, spotted them and quickly scurried to the corner to take some photos.
"Melanie, why are you hiding here?" Charlie came over to place a hand over her waist.
