Otherwise, the number of women who fall hopelessly in love with him must be countless.
Mia Lane believed she had strong self-control.
Justin Kingston closed his eyes but couldn’t fall asleep; he was waiting for her to get into bed. Only when he smelled her faint fragrance could he feel at ease.
He had grown accustomed to the rhythm of her heartbeat.
The following morning.
Mia Lane, almost sleepless all night, drove out early without even having breakfast.
When Justin Kingston woke up, he found no one beside him.
A hint of melancholy flashed in the man’s eyes, and his heart felt empty.
After going downstairs—
"Mr. Kingston, I cooked some noodles for you. Would you like to try?" Mrs. Zhou said with concern. "I followed the usual process your wife uses, the ratio of ingredients hasn’t changed; the color looks the same, and the taste is alike."
Justin Kingston met her gaze, then stepped towards the dining room.
Sitting down in the white dining chair, Mrs. Zhou happily brought over the noodles and handed him a pair of chopsticks, looking forward to watching him.
Justin Kingston observed that the color of the noodles was identical to those Mia Lane made.
He picked up a small bite and put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully a few times, and swallowed.
Mrs. Zhou’s heart was filled with joy!
Great! Mr. Kingston can finally eat food made by her!
But in the next second, Justin Kingston furrowed his brow lightly, put down the chopsticks, and rushed to vomit into the trash can!
Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that she quickly brought him a towel and a cup of mouthwash.
His stomach churned! Nausea and discomfort! It felt like even his stomach was going to come out!
"Mr. Kingston, I’m sorry, I’m sorry." Mrs. Zhou was flustered, not worried about being scolded, but concerned about irritating his stomach, "I’m sorry, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital? Should I call Dr. Shelby?"
"No need." Justin Kingston continued to vomit, raised his hand, indicating it wasn’t her fault.
Mrs. Zhou was also puzzled why her attempt to replicate his wife’s method wasn’t successful.
Three minutes later...
Justin Kingston finished vomiting the noodles from his stomach, and only after rinsing his mouth did he feel much better.
Mrs. Zhou dared not prepare food for him on her own anymore.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Kingston, I’m truly sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose." Mrs. Zhou’s eyes filled with tears, "I’m sorry..."
Justin Kingston turned his gaze towards her, "It’s okay, it’s not your fault."
After speaking, he got up and walked towards the yard.
Mrs. Zhou watched him leave with sadness, not knowing things would turn out this way.
The driver opened the back door for him, and after Justin Kingston got in, the driver quickly drove away.
Meanwhile, Mia Lane’s car was parked at Ian Shelby’s villa.
She called him five minutes earlier; Ian Shelby intended to sleep in, but hurriedly got up to go downstairs upon receiving the call, wrapping clothes as he welcomed her out from the living room.
Seeing Mia Lane emerge from the driver’s seat alone, he glanced into the car, "Master, is it just you?"
"Who else?" Mia Lane got out and adjusted her clothes.
Ian Shelby was puzzled why CEO Kingston wasn’t with her.
"You’ve treated Justin Kingston’s mother before, right?" Mia Lane asked directly upon entering, "What exactly is her condition? Why haven’t you continued treating her? With your ability, it shouldn’t be that you can’t cure her; is it about time?"
"Why? Did CEO Kingston come to you about this?"
Ian Shelby looked at her in surprise, "You agreed?" Follow current novᴇls on novel⟡fire.net
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still.
After a while, Ian Shelby sighed lightly, "The daughter-in-law treating the mother-in-law, if cured there won’t be much gratitude, but if not, or if she’s impatient to wait, your relationship could become very strained."
"Our relationship is already strained." Mia Lane didn’t hide it, "She doesn’t like me at all, she doesn’t even want to see me."
Ian Shelby was even more surprised, "Then why is she willing to let you treat her?"
