| pursed my lips, feeling more or less irritable at this point.
Keeping the smile on my face, | looked at Jordan and said, "Mr. Fredericks, you probably have things to discuss
with Mr. Grant, right? Why don't you go and talk business with him while I'll help Shannon?"
Shannon looked up at Jordan and asked with a smile, "Do you have work matters to discuss with Mr. Grant?"
Jordan glanced at her, his eyes flashing slightly. "No."
Absolutely speechless!
Was Theo here purely to cadge a meal?
More infuriatingly, Jordan did not seem the least bit surprised about it!
Shannon looked atwith a slightly ambiguous gaze. "Go and rest. The meal will be ready soon. We don't need
your help anymore.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| looked back at Theo at the dining table and went up to Shannon, saying into her ears, "I know you care about
Shannon was so clever, so how could she not have guessed why | was so eager to stay in the kitchen? She tilted
her head and looked at Theo sitting outside. She said with a smile, "Say, why are you hiding from him? If you
can’t be a couple, then be friends. Are you planning to go different ways as complete strangers?"
| froze, my heart racing a little faster.
Her words maderealize that most of the time, my way of thinking was similar t o everyone else. | always
thought that after Theo and | got a divorce, we could only go our separate ways. | never thought that we could
still be friends and get along as friends.
When Shannon saw that | was lost in thought, she could guess what | was thinking about and said, "Have you
ever thought that perhaps you're overcomplicating things? Whether rich or poor, what most people want is to
live peacefully. If it isn't because a conflict can't be resolved, why would anyone want t o torture themselves? If
two people separate over a small conflict, then would there be harmony left in this world?" She continued after a
pause, "In fact, there are always conflicts between married couples, but divorce is not always an option. They
continue to live with each other. As tpasses, those conflicts won't be worth mentioning anymore. My grandpa
often complains that the electronics at hare spoiled, and if they aren't good to use anymore, he'll just get
new ones. That's because all those things are lifeless. It's the seven if you get new ones. But humans are
different. If two people are expected to change themselves every tthey encounter a small problem, then has
it occurred to you how many times we'd have to change until we're old? Can we guarantee that the newer
versions o f ourselves will be better than the previous ones? Not likely, I'd say."
| pursed my lips, not saying a word for a very long time.
She was right, but the problems between Theo and | were more than just sconflicts.
| thought about it and said, "Theo and | have more than just conflicts. There are many other real issues. But |
have figured things out a little now. | shouldn't be running away from him or thinking of a way to go our separate
ways. I'll treat him a s a friend and get along with him from now on."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShannon smiled happily after hearing what | said. “That's the way to do it. You can't run no matter what
problems you face because running away will never solve the problem.
After saying that, she handeda plate of dishes. "Take this outside for me!”
| took the plate and brought it outside of
the kitchen.
Theo got up and walked toward the kitchen as well to grab the dishes and utensils.
Sure enough, he was here to cadge a meal and was not planning to discuss anything with Jordan at all.
Shannon had great culinary skills, while Jordan seemed to like the dishes she made a lot.
However, from the interaction between the two, they did not look like a couple who had just started dating. They
were more like friends who had been together for a long time.
At least, that was what | felt from how Jordan treated Shannon. It felt a little strange to me.

After the meal, Theo and | were in charge o f washing the dishes.
