Seeing the caller display, she answered the call.
“Ms. Golding.”
Seeing the caller display, she answered the call.
“Ms. Golding.”
“Mm. How are you recovering?”
Anita had visited her when she was resting at home.
The two of them had kept in contact.
Elisa smiled. “Mm. I came back to work today.”
Anita’s brows furrowed slightly. “Can you go back to work in your condition?”
“It’s no problem. I can attend to your case at any time. Just call me.” Jean answered with ease.
Anita sighed. “That side is still looking for opportunities to drag it out. They even stopped me from
submitting evidence, but the court has set a date for seven days from now.”

Elisa nodded. “No problem.”
“I can only count on you, Liz. My son’s custody can’t be taken away again.”
“Mm, I understand. Don’t worry.”
The two talked for a while more before they hung up, and Elisa resumed her work.
The company started to go ahead with various aspects because she was at work.
Linda was still at the mental hospital and couldn’t be discharged. It was her temporary refuge but also a
prison.
Elisa started to work.
The morning passed quickly.
Ten minutes before her lunch break, Elisa’s cell phone suddenly rang.
—Kyle: ‘Are both of you free in the afternoon? Do you want to eat lunch together?’
This was her hacker group chat. They would talk to each other from time to time. As for jobs, the other

two worked on them and made allowances for her. Sometimes she would feel bad and take a few of
them.
—Elisa: ‘Where?’
—Scott: ‘Sure.’
—Kyle: ‘The restaurant beneath Liz’s office. I’m already here, so I’ll order food first.’
—Elisa: ‘Alright.’
—Scott: ‘Okay.’
During her lunch break, Elisa went to the private room of the restaurant.
Kyle was the only one there.
He sat on a chair, and he wore simple, gray sportswear, looking exceptionally cold.
But…
After interacting with him, she knew that he was only like that on the surface. Kyle would only be

earnest with people close to him and people he cared about. He was always cold and cheerless to
outsiders. He had no intention of maintaining a good impression on them.
However… those he cared about, both family and friends, would have the blessing of three lifetimes.
Kyle was good-looking. He wouldn’t be inferior even if he stood next to Gareth and Will. His deep eyes,

That’s right. They were like moths to a flame. Women who fell in love with him would come to no good
because he wouldn’t be moved by anyone.
When he saw Elisa, he put down his cell phone and tapped his bony hand on the table. He smiled at
Elisa gently, “That was pretty fast.”
Elisa smiled and nodded. She sat down two seats away from him.
“You were so considerate by intentionally choosing a place so near me. It would be too much of me to

“Pfft.” Kyle raised his brows. “When did you become such a smooth talker?”

After that, the door of the private room opened.
