That afternoon, everyone gathered together to chat and, in the process, tried to talk some sense into Benjamin.

During the conversation, Nolan brought up his sister Jillian and made a point to thank Caitlin for helping her find a job.

“I really have to thank you, Caitlin. You gave my sister such an amazing opportunity. She’s so motivated now, it’s like she’s finally found her purpose. Every time she calls me, she’s full of energy and excitement.”

Caitlin smiled. “It’s nothing worth mentioning. I just thought Jillian has real talent, and she shouldn’t be overlooked. Fragrance & Dye Studio is running smoothly now, and with her there, I feel completely at ease.”

Nolan nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah, ever since the domestic and international accounts for Fragrance & Dye Studio went live, my sister’s practically become an influencer. My parents are thrilled, watching everyone online praise her work. They keep saying their daughter’s finally made something of herself.”

He spoke from the heart. “They also told me I have to invite you and Sebastian over to our place. They want to thank you in person.”

“No need for that,” Caitlin said.

“We insist,” Nolan replied. “You solved a huge problem for us. Now my sister not only has a career, but also a boyfriend. You’re basically her matchmaker!”

Nolan already knew about Jillian’s new relationship, and he was sincerely grateful. Caitlin laughed lightly. “I didn’t really do much. It was fate that brought them together.”

At that word–fate–Benjamin suddenly grew quiet, his eyes dimming. Then he laughed bitterly.

“Don’t talk to me about fate. I don’t believe in that crap anymore. It’s all lies.”

He was still drunk, the bitterness in his voice impossible to miss.

Caitlin sighed. “Alright, get Benjamin upstairs to rest. We should all head out.”

Nolan and the others helped Benjamin to his room while Caitlin and Sebastian left Club No. S. They went to the Vanderbilt house to pick up Molly, then drove together to visit the Smith family.

They brought along several gifts, and when they arrived at LL Villa, Simon–who had come home early from work–answered the door wearing an apron.

Seeing the gifts, he smiled. “You really didn’t have to bring anything. You’re my guests, not clients.”

“Can’t come empty–handed,” Sebastian said with a grin, holding up the wine he brought.

Caitlin looked Simon up and down. “I’ve seen you in a white coat plenty of times, but never an apron. Gotta say, it suits you. Molly’s a lucky woman.”

Molly beamed proudly, slipping her arm around Simon’s. “Of course he’s good. He’s a master with a scalpel and a kitchen knife.”

Simon chuckled. “Come in, everyone. Dinner’s almost ready. I hope you don’t mind a home–cooked meal.”

He ushered them into the living room, then went back to the kitchen to finish up. “It’ll just be a few more minutes. Make yourselves comfortable.”

Molly lasted all of two minutes before getting up. “I’m going to supervise. Can’t let Dr. Smith slack off!” she teased as she headed toward the kitchen.

Inside, Simon was focused on the stove, sleeves rolled up, preparing an impressive spread of ingredients. His white shirt was crisp, his movements smooth and precise. To Molly, watching him cook was like watching him perform surgery–every cut and motion meticulous.

“Need any help?” she asked, peeking from behind his shoulder.

“No, just relax,” he said firmly.

Simon never let her lift a finger. Even after they married, he planned to spoil her like a princess.

Molly grinned mischievously and slipped her arms around his waist, pressing her cheek against his back.

Simon froze mid–motion, a knife in hand. “Hey, how am I supposed to cook like this?”

“Keep cooking,” she said with a playful giggle. “I’m not in your way.”

She clung to him like a koala, making it impossible for him to move.

Finally, Simon set down the knife, turned around in her embrace, and looked down at her flushed face. He knew her well enough to understand that if he didn’t give her what she wanted, she’d just keep pestering him.

So he bent his head and kissed her.

The kiss deepened until Molly was breathless, and when he finally pulled back, her face was red as a rose.

“Alright, be good,” Simon murmured. “Go wait with the others. Dinner’s almost ready.”

“Fine,” she said sweetly. “But honestly, I’d rather eat you, Smith.”

She walked out grinning, leaving Simon shaking his head with a helpless smile.

After a while, they heard Simon’s voice call from the dining room. “Everyone, dinner’s ready! Wash your hands and come eat.”

“The doctor has spoken! Wash up first!” Molly announced, hopping to her feet.

“Looks like we’re in for a treat tonight,” Sebastian said, heading toward the sink with Caitlin.

When they gathered at the table, Simon had set up a hotpot with a barbecue grill in the middle. Plates of meat, vegetables, and sauces surrounded it, filling the air with delicious aromas.

“Sorry,” Simon said, placing the dipping sauces down. “It’s just barbecue tonight. It’s the easiest to make.”

“It’s perfect,” Caitlin said, smiling. “We’ve all been craving this anyway.”

“Exactly!” Molly added. “I told him this is what I wanted first thing after getting out of the hospital. I’ve been dreaming of skewers and cold beer!”

“No alcohol. No spicy food,” Simon cut in firmly.

“What? No alcohol, no spice? Then what’s the point?” she pouted.

“You listened to the doctors in the hospital. Now you listen to me,” he replied evenly.

“So I’m just supposed to listen to you all the time, huh?”

She grumbled, but her tone was affectionate. Deep down, she loved the way Simon took charge–it made her feel cared for and protected.
