CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: PLAYING MATCHMAKER

Actually, Justin Kingston didn’t think too much about it. Once he wraps up work tonight, he’ll have time to go to the amusement park tomorrow.

Monica Usher was still at the company; the main office of the Design Department was brightly lit. As the night deepened, the designers left one by one—

"President Usher, I’m leaving first."

"President Usher, aren’t you going yet?"

"President Usher, goodbye."

"President Usher, I’m off work now."

Gradually, only Monica Usher was left in the office.

Barbara Sutton, the assistant, came in with a document, somewhat surprised, "President Usher, you’re not going to pull another all-nighter tonight, are you?"

"Time is tight, I don’t want to waste time on the road." She didn’t stop her drawing, and Ian Shelby said Justin Kingston’s stomach was getting better, so she was in a particularly good mood.

"But people need to rest." Barbara looked at her with concern, "What if you wear yourself out?"

"You can head off now." Monica Usher glanced at her in between tasks, "I’m not going home tonight, I’m not tired."

"If you keep pushing yourself like this, you’re going to make yourself sick!"

Monica Usher smiled, "It’s not that serious. I’ve always gone to bed at three in the morning for many years, I’m used to it."

Emerald Cove.

Upstairs in the study, Justin Kingston was holding a mouse, staring at a series of data on the screen. His inscrutable gaze was sharp and harsh, always exuding an aura that kept others at bay, with a touch of cold amidst his authority.

Downstairs, Butler Shelby found the children.

He asked in a low voice, "Master Gigi, Miss Dolly, can you help with something?"

"Please tell us, Uncle Butler."

Then he leaned down and whispered something to them.

The children blinked their grape-like eyes, listening intently, then nodded in agreement.

"Let’s go!" Gigi pulled Dolly and went upstairs, finding Mia Lane in the walk-in closet.

"Mommy, Daddy’s been so busy with work lately, he hasn’t even had dinner!" Gigi clutched her hand, looking up with a pleading face, "Could you make him a bowl of noodles?"

Dolly joined in, "Mommy, just say yes! It’s such an easy task! I always knew you were the best!"

"You care about him that much?" Mia Lane was a bit touched, looking down at the two adorable kids, "Alright, I agree!" If only to maintain the image of a perfect mother in their eyes.

The children jumped for joy!

Watching her figure walking into the kitchen, Butler Shelby’s joy was evident on his face.

Until Mia Lane turned with the noodles, Butler Shelby stood at the kitchen door, "You’ve really worked hard, ma’am."

"It’s fine, you can take it to him." Mia Lane’s expression was calm, "It’s not a big deal."

"Alright." The butler carefully took the dish, casting her a grateful look, then turned to leave.

Mia Lane felt slightly distracted, involuntarily thinking of the wounds on Justin Kingston’s back, which were quite extensive. Had he not treated them promptly? Why were they so wrinkled and uneven?

In this world, besides Butler Shelby and Mrs. Zhou, how many people genuinely cared about him?

Even his mother probably didn’t care, right?

Everyone treated him as a legend, with a touch of reverence, but those he could confide in were probably few.

"Mommy, come over here, we have a secret to tell you!"

The kids appeared, and their soft voices pulled her back to reality. Mia Lane was led out of the kitchen by the kids, "What secret? Why so many secrets?"

Upstairs, in front of the study, Butler Shelby knocked on the door, noodles in hand.

"Please come in."

Justin Kingston looked up, surprised to see the butler entering with noodles.

"Mr. Kingston, these are tomato and egg noodles made especially for you by the madam. Seeing you so busy with work lately, please eat them while they’re hot."

She made them?

Justin Kingston’s cold gaze softened a little, and a trace of warmth seeped through his heart.

The butler gently placed the bowl of noodles beside his computer, a friendly smile on his face, "Mr. Kingston, the madam actually cares a lot about you."

Justin Kingston felt inexplicably much better, "I understand, thank you."
