At David’s penthouse, Patricia had the slight impression that David wasn’t taking the conversation she wanted to have with him seriously. The young man has a mocking smile.Bryce appeared with a cup of tea. “Here you go, Patty.”“Thank you so much, Bryce.” Patricia accepted the cup and sat down on the sofa.“Make yourself comfortable,” David said, “Anyway, why do you want to talk about what happened?”“Because I want to know why you insist on being a pain in the neck, bothering Matt, causing fights and arguments when deep in your heart, you know you’re going to lose,” Patricia asks impatiently.David shakes his head. “If I knew I would lose a fight with Matthew, I would never try. It’s the fact that I don’t know the outcome that motivates me to face the idiot.”Patricia pours a sip of tea and continues, “Then we have the big question: WHY? For example, you threw a rock through the windshield of his Lamborghini. I don’t care how Matt bought it, whether it was from your old collection..

The next day, Matthew and Patricia’s interview appeared on LCN.Readers were delighted with the new couple.

At Sterling University Square, David patiently awaited Cindy’s coming out from her class. Seated at the kiosk table, Bryce stood by his side.“Bryce, it’s better if you step aside. I need to talk to Cindy,” David advised him.A trace of suspicion crossed Bryce’s face. “What’s this conversation about?”“Something private,” David responded seriously.Bryce, skeptical, warned, “Don’t tell me you want to dive back into Matthew and Patty’s drama. Dude, when will you learn?”Always serious, David asserted, “I’ve learned. Don’t trust women who want to use you to make another guy jealous.”Unconvinced, Bryce insisted, “No, you haven’t learned. Okay, when things blow up, call me. I’ll try to fix it.”With that, Bryce stood, visibly irritated, and exited, leaving David alone in anticipation.Amid the ebb and flow of university students, Cindy descended the stairs, noticing David.

In the late afternoon at the Sterling Mansion, Matthew entered the suite to find Patricia engrossed in the computer, perusing social media.

Eventually, he divulged, “I had a long conversation with Jackson. He made a curious request.”Concern etched on her face, Patricia queried, “What did my mischievous older brother ask for this time?”“He asked for permission to date Cindy,” Matthew disclosed, prompting Patricia’s smile to fade.She abandoned the computer and stood up, expressing worry.“Why did he say that? With Jackson’s popularity, he can get any girl he wants. Why does he insist on Cindy? The girl is troublesome and can’t maintain a stable relat

Get over here!” Clayton calls out, and Jackson points to a table, instructing Cindy to go ahead while he places the order.As Cindy heads to a reserved table, giggling, she asks, “Are you staying here afterward?”Jackson replies with a gallant demeanor, “Well, I’m the manager here, my dear. Remember, I got promoted.”Cindy teases, “You goof...” and takes her seat, picking up the menu.She asks when she reads it, “Can we just have a regular burger and orange juice tonight?”“Oh, I’ll have a panini with extra cheesy and a side of fries.” He pats his toned belly, “I’ve earned that privilege.”Cindy licks her lips and bites her lower lip. She definitely can’t contain herself!At the cash register, Jacks
