Be was not expecting Axel, but Axel came because he had something urgent to discuss with her.


    Despite Ralph''s crude character, he had considerate moments. Ralph went out of his way to buy Be and Amelia some of their favorite pastries. He even stood in line for close to two hours. He was surprised that Carrie was there too.


    Had he known, he would have bought more. Ralph did not want toe across as ying favorites.


    "Wow! Are these pastries in the shape of pandas the shop''stest product? They look so cute!"


    Amelia loved cute-looking pastries. Unable to resist, she put the whole pastry in her mouth.


    Steven was shocked.


    Amelia was usually verydylike when dining with him. Steven figured that was because he did not get the right food for her.


    Be helped herself to one too. The smile on her face was infectious, and Justin took note of the pastry shop for future reference.


    Justin would learn every tiny thing about Be from her brothers.


    Wyatt might not know Be well, but her brothers certainly did. Since Justin would take over the responsibility of caring for Be from the Thompsons, he wanted to make sure he did the best job. Justin wanted Be to spend every day feeling like she never parted with her family. Justin needed to y all the roles she needed him to be.


    Even if Be wanted to try something new, Justin was happy to go outside hisfort zone just to make her happy.

    Ralph took a little panda pastry, approached Carrie, and bent over to hand it to her with a smile. "I didn''t know you''d be here, so I didn''t get enough pastries. I''ll make it up to you next time." Carrie loved the little panda and rubbed her hands to ept the pastry.


    To her surprise, Ryan reached over to grab the pastry and shoved it in his mouth.


    Carrie was taken aback.


    Ralph narrowed his eyes, his fingers clenching.


    "B-Cough Babe... Cough... It''s nearly


    dinner. You don''t want to fill you


    belly now and miss the dinner


    Justin and Be made for you." Ryan swallowed hard, his face turning red.


    He was choking.


    However, he needed to look


    confident and cool as the heir of the Hoffman Group, especially in front of his love rival. His pride and future wife meant a lot to him. S


    "Mr. Hoffman, we''re all civilized people here, so there''s no need for snatching."


    Staring at Ryan''s red face, Ralph asked, "Are you sure you don''t need any water?"


    Fuck! Ryan could not believe Ralph questioned his manners.


    The Thompsons sure had mouths on them.


    Ryan wanted to snap back, but he might spit out the food in his mouth.


    Steven and Amelia had no idea what was going on, but Be had a clear view.


    Ryan was wary of Ralph.


    The earlier episode did not dampen the mood. Everybody had a pleasant dinner with the hosts.


    After dinner, Amelia took Carrie


    upstairs to y board games, giving room for the rest to get down to
