At the table, the atmosphere was not quite harmonious. But it was not so nervous either.

Sherry accidentally ate a piece of hot pepper and thus had to get a cup of water. But before she reached out her hand Daniel had already handed a cup of water to her.

Sherry had no choice but to accept his assistance and drunk a lot of water. She was in such a hurry that she coughed.

Daniel patted her back and whispered slowly, “Don’t get that hurry when drinking water.”

After that, he picked two chunks of pumpkin for her, “Those will make you feel better.”

Sherry put the cup down. But before she was able to say anything, she noticed the others were all staring at them.

As she looked at them, Clarence and Channing both looked away instantly yet calmly while Stella chose to lower her hand and focus on her bowl.

Sherry felt quite embarrassed.

Her face was flushed all over and she felt her brain was as hot as a volcano.

In the past when Stella and Clarence were showing their love for each other, she just felt envy. But this time when it was her turn, she felt rather embarrassed.

Sherry said to Daniel in a low voice, “Just mind your own business!”

Daniel was confused. He had no idea how he annoyed her. Maybe she didn’t like pumpkins?

In his memory, she showed no hatred towards pumpkins.

After dinner, Sherry chose to wash the dishes. Daniel also followed her into the kitchen. Seeing that, Stella secretly walked out of the kitchen.

She took Channing to the balcony and asked him gently, “You caught a cold?”

Channing nodded, “I’ve taken the medicine. Don’t worry.”

Stella stared at him speechlessly.
