Ivy didn’t say anything, but I could tell that she was stewing.
The more I looked at their intertwined silhouettes, the more upset I became. I wasn’t in the mood to clean her ward up for her, so I put the vase of flowers on the nightstand.
Wait a second! What was this?
As soon as I set down the vase away, I caught a glimpse of a wet document on the nightstand. It seemed to be a plan of some sort.
I quickly glanced over my shoulder to look at the screen. After making sure that they were still busy changing clothes, I seized my chance to skim through the plans.
It turned out that this document was the moving plan of the residents of Roz Town.
And if my guess was right, these should’ve been drafted by the Barton family to help Caleb buy the town.
I quickly took out my phone to snap a few photos of the plan, but the document was wet. While the first few pages were still legible, the last few pages were all stuck together because of the water.
I was a little frustrated. Just then, there was a sudden scream from behind the screen.
“Ah! It hurts!”
The scream startled me. My hand jolted, accidentally knocking down the vase on the nightstand.

The vase fell to the floor and instantly shattered into pieces.
The commotion made Caleb poke his head out from behind the screen.
Looking at me, he asked with concern, “What happened?”
Debra’s POV:
I was so nervous that my hands trembled uncontrollably.
But I couldn’t arouse Caleb’s suspicion, so I pretended that nothing had happened and squatted down to pick up the shards of the broken vase.
“Nothing. I just accidentally knocked over the vase, that’s all,” I replied, trying to keep my voice as Level as possible.
I thought that Caleb wouldn’t bother himself over such a trifle, but unexpectedly, he stepped around the screen and came over.
Oh, no. Did he find anything wrong?
I was so nervous that I slowed down while picking up the vase fragments.
As he approached me, I could feel my heart banging in my chest. I didn’t dare to Look up at him at all. My mind was in complete chaos. I didn’t know what to do!
Just then, his powerful hands grabbed mine
“Don’t touch those shards. You’ll cut yourself.” Caleb’s voice was low but pleasant to the ears
Stunned, I Looked up at him in a daze.
