Chapter 1161

Before heading to work, I dropped my wife off at the library to meet Jamie. Recently, folks from Maplewood Estates have been delivering lunch to Mia every day. Mia pulled Jamie aside and said, "Jamie, you don't need to order takeout anymore. Our chef will take care of your lunch too."

Jamie hesitated, not wanting to impose. "Oh, I couldn't, Mia. Really, it's too much."

Mia waved it off. "My husband used to bring me lunch, and I didn't want him to accidentally scare you. Plus, it's no trouble at all-friends help each other out."

Whenever they hit a snag, they'd reach out to Denny, a fellow student at the university.

Denny, always ahead of the game, had already checked in at the university before classes even started. When he found out the two ladies needed help, he hopped in a cab and came over, declaring, "Professor Denny is here, ready to solve your mysteries."

Mia playfully threatened him with a book, making Denny duck with a grin. "Just kidding, Mrs. Cedillo. What can I help you with?"

They spread their notes out for Denny, who examined them closely. "So, neither of you got this?"

Mia nodded, "Yeah, these are the tricky bits we still don't get, even after the videos."
