Chapter 217

Kenneth let out a cold chuckle and said, "There are lots of people like me." He added inside, 'Do I go to everyone's birthday parties?"

Ophelia raised an eyebrow and walked around the desk. She leaned against it with her hands on the surface, speaking in a mock interrogation tone, "Oh really? How many? Tell me."

Kenneth swung his legs down. He used his slender fingers to solve the Rubik's Cube. Then, he placed it on the desk, stood up, and walked over to Ophelia.

le counted them off as he approached her. He said, "There's Ophelia Sinclair, Ophelia Spencer, Elia, Ms. Spencer..

When he said the last two words, he was standing right in front of Ophelia. With both hands on the table, he trapped her and leaned in close. His lips brushed against her soft lips. He asked, "Are you jealous of all of them?" Ophelia said, "There's one more person you forgot to mention. Her clear eyes stayed fixed on Kenneth without blinking.

Kenneth asked, "Who?"

Ophelia replied, "Mrs. Sinclair. Your wife."

Ophelia's words gave Kenneth a sudden jolt, his dark eyes holding a mix of unclear emotions.

Without another word, he grasped her head and captured her lips. He kissed her slowly and passionately. His Adam's apple bobbed with each kiss, gradually taking all her breath away.

Luckily, Mark had left the room earlier; otherwise, he would have had to witness their romantic moment.

In the evening, Chloe carried a large bundle of groceries from the parking garage into the elevator.

When it reached the first floor, two middle-aged women joined her, also carrying groceries. These two women lived upstairs from Chloe and often ran into her in the elevator.

"Oh my, Chloe! Did you buy all this by yourself?" one of the women remarked, eyeing the two big grocery bags. She thought, Youngsters these days don't know how to manage their budget, only buying the expensive stuff. Chloe nudged the groceries closer to her feet. She ordered all groceries from the large supermarket near her office.

As the elevator doors closed, the other woman said, "Raising a child on your own is tough. You work during the day and take care of the child at night. Maybe try to find a suitable man and remarry, and it will make your life easier. "I have a nephew who's been married twice but has no kids. I heard it's because his ex-wife wasn't a good match. Do you want me to introduce him to you?"

"No thanks," Chloe replied, her eyes fixed on the numbers rising in the elevator. Her face remained neutral, appearing slightly annoyed.

The woman kept saying, "My nephew is an exec at a big company. He's more than enough for you; his annual salary is 260.
