Regan was caught off guard, realizing the opportunity he'd just seized had slipped away before it even had a chance to start cooking.

Ashley was baffled. Why on earth would Morris leave her to rush to Nathalie, especially when it was obvious Morris didn't even have a thing for Nathalie?

Lincoln's expression was a mix of surprise and humor. He'd been so dismissive of Morris, yet here he was, graciously setting aside their differences to lend a hand. He chuckled warmly, genuinely appreciating Morris's unexpected gesture.

Morris shot back stubbornly, "Which of your eyes noticed that?"

Lincoln grinned, "Both of them, actually."
