Winry was simply astounded. The luxurious walk–in closet in front of her was something she had only ever dreamed of, and she couldn’t help but swallow in awe.
Suddenly, Winry snapped back to reality, her face instantly flushing with excitement.
People often said that Michael was indifferent to women. Could it be… that this was something he had prepared for her?
At the thought of that, a blush spread across Winry’s face, her heart fluttering with excitement!
Unexpectedly, the seemingly aloof Michael was so indulgent toward her in private. She felt incredibly fortunate!
At that moment, the sound of running water reached her ears, leaving Winry momentarily stunned.
Was there someone in the room?
She immediately emerged, her eyes instantly drawn to a black suit casually discarded on the couch, along with a tie and a freshly removed white shirt!
Reflected on the frosted glass door of the adjacent bathroom was a tall and sturdy figure!
With long legs and a slim waist, the figure was the epitome of perfection!
Winry’s heart raced as she watched. Could it be that Michael was taking a bath?
She swallowed hard, a plan forming in her heart.
Winry locked the bedroom door from the inside. Then she quietly made her way to the walk–in closet and opened one of the wardrobe doors.
This entire wardrobe was filled with pajamas, featuring all sorts of styles. Winry began to meticulously pick through them.
She was curvaceous, and for reasons unknown, all these clothes were a size too small. It was as if they weren’t tailored specifically for her.
But it didn’t matter. As long as she won over Michael, she could buy as much as she wanted!
Winry had reached a point where she could no longer care about the details. She picked out a black, semi- transparent negligee and slipped into it, stepping out without a second thought.
The negligee, a size too small for her, was stretched to its limits, threatening to rip at any moment. There was no sense of beauty in it.
Nevertheless, Winry couldn’t care less. She switched off all the lights and drew the curtains tightly shut. Then, she hid herself away, ready to give the showering Michael a “surprise.”
No sooner had Winry stealthily ascended to the second floor than Josephine pushed open the door, stepping into the villa.
“Josie, where on earth were you last night?” Zendaya had been searching for Winry, but as soon as she

Josephine gave a tight–lipped smile. “Zendaya, I’m line came,to see Jorvan about something. Please don’t
Tell Michael.”
Zendaya was thrilled and was just about to tell her that Michael had been looking for her all night when Jorvan walked over with a dark expression.
“Could Winry have gone to Mr. Michael’s rooms
At this point, he suddenly caught sight of Josephine, and instantly, he was taken aback.
However, Josephine had already heard it, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.
It seemed she had come at a bad time.
Apparently, Michael was in the throes of passion with Winry in his room.
Although Josephine claimed not to care about who Michael liked, when he gave her a birthday gift yesterday and suggested throwing her a birthday party, she had been slightly moved.
He was the first person, apart from her mother, who remembered her birthday, gave her gifts, and even wanted to throw her a birthday party.
Among all the men she had ever met, aside from her brother, he was the most handsome one.
Her brother was always busy, often not at home. Even when he was, he would only cook pasta for her, topped with a simple fried egg.
Josephine’s heart still held a touch of sadness, a sentiment she couldn’t voice.
“Mrs. Jaywalker, you’re back!” Upon seeing Josephine, forvan immediately forgot he was just looking for Winry. He quickly approached her, his excitement palpable. “Are you all right? Did you catch a cold? Are you injured?”
Josephine chuckled shyly. “Jorvan. I’m sorry for causing you concern. I’m fine, really.”
“It’s good that you’re okay.” Jorvan sighed in relief, his heart at ease. He was thrilled, knowing that Michael would definitely be overjoyed to see Josephine.
However, Josephine didn’t wish to linger. She promptly asked, “Jorvan, may I inquire about something?”
“Go ahead, Mrs. Jaywalker.”
“Do you know about the masked individual in Junbert?
Josephine’s clear eyes eagerly gazed at him.
Jorvan’s expression subtly shifted. He glanced at Zendaya next to him, his gaze somewhat tense, and spoke without betraying any emotion.
“Mrs. Jaywalker, why do you inquire about this matter?”
“My friend is looking for him, so I’m just helping to ask Josephine said, carefully bending the truth. She didn’t think it was appropriate to say more..

Jorvan shook his head. “Mrs. Jaywalker, I’ve never heard of this person, but would you like me to ask around for you?”
A flicker of disappointment crossed Josephine’s heart. even Jorvan didn’t know, her search for this person would become even more difficult.
Both her grandfather and mother had passed away, leasing her with only her brother as her sole kin in this world.
She longed to find him, yearning for the pasta with fried egg he used to make for her.
Since she couldn’t get an answer. Josephine bid farewell to the two of them and turned to leave.
Seeing her about to leave, Zendaya quickly grabbed her “Wait a moment, let me tell Mr. Michael that you’re here.”
As soon as Josephine heard that, she quickened her pace. She didn’t want to see Michael and Winry.
Jorvan hurriedly stopped her as well. “Mrs. Jaywalker, please don’t be angry with Mr. Michael anymore. He regretted his actions last night and went out searching for you until late. When he returned and found out he had ruined your birthday cake, he went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of pasta with fried egg. saying he would wait for you to come back and eat it. When you didn’t return, he sat alone in the kitchen for a long time.”
