Thea faced the table full of delicious food and becslightly excited. She grabbed a piece of twice-cooked pork
and stuffed it into her mouth. It was so hot that she
swallowed the meat without chewing. In the end, only a salty taste remained in her mouth.
Thea lifted the glass of water and gulped it down, tilting her neck back.
Thorne couldn't help but chuckle.
When William brought the last dish to the table, he looked at Thea in astonishment and asked, “Jade, is it
delicious?”
Thea nodded vigorously, “Delicious.” After saying that, she pulled the salty leftover pork back in front of herself
and ate it hungrily, taking big bites.
Thorne looked at Thea and without hesitation, knew that the braised pork belly would be difficult to eat.
Therefore, Thea calmly prepared to get rid of it.
Thorne suddenly used his chopsticks to pick up the twice- cooked pork, but Thea quickly snatched it back and
said, “Theodore, this is Thea's favorite. You can eat something else.”
The overprotective William unexpectedly scolded Thea, “Jade, how could you eat alone?”
Thea had a lot of pain that she couldn't express.

Thorne took the opportunity to snatch the braised pork back and said, “Exactly.”
Then, | picked up the meat and elegantly stuffed it into my mouth.
Thea looked anxiously at him, afraid that Thorne, this honest child, would reveal the truth about the dish being
too salty, which would greatly hurt her father’s self-esteem.
Little did anyone know that Thorne remained calm and composed, leisurely eating his meal while calmly
savoring each bite of meat. He showed no hint of any salty or bitter
taste.
Thea was deeply moved in her heart. Theodore, just like her, felt the hard work of their father and couldn't bear
to let him down. They would rather secretly eat the not-so-delicious dishes...

I don’t know what she thought of, but Thea's face suddenly changed.
When she used to cook, Theodore would always praise the food as delicious, but was it really delicious?
She now has sdoubts about her cooking skills.
Thea placed the dish with a mediocre taste in front of William, “Dad, you eat this. It's delicious.”
After William finished a meal, he also didn’t realize that half of the dishes were dark cuisine. “Seeing how much
you all love Dad's cooking, Dad will continue to cook for you tomorrow,” William was greatly encouraged.

Thea, however, said, “Dad, cooking is too tiring. Let's hire a chef instead.”
Thorne couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that Thea had finally realized that they lacked culinary talent as
father and daughter.
William, however, lost himself in Thea and Thorne’s praises, gleefully saying, “Dad has never done anything for
you in his whole life. Anyway, now that the company is stable and | have free time, letshow off a bit and help
you with three meals a day. The ones | make will always be clean and hygienic.”
Thea was dumbfounded.
Why is Dad suddenly so lenient towards Theodore? He used to keep a tight watch on him.
Theodore, Thorne has been staying at hfor many days and he’s getting bored. If you have time, why don’t
you take him out for a walk?” William enthusiastically suggested.
Thea looked at Thorne, seeking his opinion, “Theodore, is it okay?”
Thorne smiled gently, “Hmm.”
In the final moments, he was still very willing to spend twith Thea.
After dinner, William pushed Thea and Thorne out of the door, saying, “You guys go early and cback early.
Leave the dishwashing to me.”
Thea pushed Thorne and they left.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the night lights lit up one by one.
Many people strolled in Riverside Park. Svendors pushed carts and shouted along the way, “Try some
popcorn.”
Thea pushed Thorne and they sat down on the wooden bench next to the square. The two of them looked at
each other, not knowing where to start.
Finally, Thorne broke the silence.
“Thea, did you have regular check-ups for your health?”
Thea honestly said, “In recent years, | have been constantly busy with this and that, neglecting to take care of
my own health.” When she said this, her emotions were clearly low.
Actually, she couldn’t find the motivation to live.
So let the body develop naturally.
Thorne, however, solemnly said, “You were a patient with a single kidney, and your immune system is weaker
than that of a normal person. You need to pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, avoid consuming heavily
salted foods, and moderate your intake of high-quality protein as well...”
Thea’s eyes shimmered with moisture as she held Thorne’s hand and asked, “Have you ever helpedcreate a
diet plan?”
Thorne hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Thea said, “These days, you have been distant and deliberately avoiding me, which makessad. It’s clear that

“Thea...”

Thea pulled his hand and pressed it against her face, saying, “Then I will relentlessly pursue you. You know | am
sensitive. Pursuing you has been a long process of emotional preparation. Please don’t reject me, okay?”
Thorne couldn't bear to disappoint her. But he couldn’t accept her either.

your body. | just want to have you by my side for the rest of my life.”
Thorne closed his eyes, this wish, he had dreamed of for many years.
Heaven is truly cruel.
He choked and said, “Thea, you deserved better.”
Thea weakly held Thorne’s hand and slowly let it go.
Her beautiful face was adorned with a touch of rosy glow.
In the end, she was impulsive.
“Thea didn’t think it through, Theodore. | hope you don’t take it to heart.”
Thorne suddenly tightened his grip on Thea’s hand because he knew her so well. His rejection would only add
insult to injury for her already low self-esteem.
“Thea, you were really great. It waswho didn’t deserve you.”
Thea let go of her hand, her eyes turning red. “Don’t say anymore. It was my own self-deprecation, rudely
intruding on you. Don’t worry about it.” She awkwardly turned away, not wanting Thorne to see her face turning
as red as a pig’s liver.
Thorne felt his heart being sliced, and he reached out his hand to grab Thea’s hand, but in the end, he let it drop.
