While Ivy’s comments left me speechless, I took the time to explain, “Caleb, I’ve mentioned before that Andrew once saved me, and I owe him for that.

We’re just friends, and my concern for his injury is purely platonic.

Caleb’s expression softened into a sheepish smile.

He pulled me close and whispered, “I understand.

I was just teasing.

“So, you’re not upset about this anymore, right?” I asked, searching his eyes while nestled in his embrace.

Flashing a mischievous grin, Caleb pinched my chin playfully and teased, “Do you really care if I’m upset or not?”

Realizing Caleb had duped me, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and I pushed him away.

“Stop being so full of yourself.

I’m off to breakfast, and you can fend for yourself.

However, Caleb caught up and embraced me again, stealing a quick ki*s on my cheek.

“I’m not being vain.

But how about bringing me some breakfast later?”

My heart raced.

I nodded, cheeks flushed.

“Okay, I’ll bring the food back here.

I sprung from the bed and dashed to the bathroom to freshen up.

After washing my face and rinsing my mouth, I descended the stairs and glanced at Abby.

The little girl was already awake, quietly playing by herself in her baby carriage.

“Andrew just returned to the manor.

Did he come to see you?” Nora whispered.

I shook my head and replied honestly, “I just woke up.

I haven’t seen him yet.

“You need to see Andrew soon.

I heard he’s still not well,” Nora urged, concern lacing her voice.

I understood her intent; she wanted me to forge a closer bond with Andrew.

I offered a resigned smile.

“Alright, I get it.

Take good care of Abby, and try not to worry too much.

Nora’s face fell, and she responded in a weak voice, “Okay.

Her disappointed expression left me at a loss for words.

Finally, I turned and left without saying more.

Heading straight for the kitchen, I grabbed the breakfast I’d come for.

Just as I was leaving the kitchen, I bumped into Andrew.

Debra’s POV:

Upon catching sight of Andrew, I was so overtaken by guilt that I forgot to greet him.

Andrew looked equally surprised when he noticed the sizeable breakfast I was holding.

We exchanged awkward glances before Andrew broke the silence.

“Did you skip dinner last night? Why so much breakfast? You usually don’t eat this much.

My embarrassment deepened, and I hurried to clarify, “No, it’s just… The chef here is incredibly talented, and I wanted to try everything.

I guess I got carried away and took too much.

Andrew’s smile was warm.

“It’s a compliment to the chef when you enjoy the meals so much.

Then, in a generous gesture, he instructed the butler to award the kitchen staff with a three-month bonus.
