Stephanie loved gourmet food and was interested in dessert making, so she gladly joined Ellen in learning

While waiting. Ellen glanced toward the kitchen door, ensuring no one was listening in. Then, she pulled Stephanie close and asked in a low voice, “Stephie, to be honest, how intimate are you and Vincent?”

Instantly, Stephanie felt a blush creeping up her cheeks

She knew Ellen was probing about Vincent’s capabilities in a particular area.

It was a rather sensitive topic. Hence, she was unsure how to respond,

While the two hadn’t engaged in any substantial physical relationship, she sensed that Vincent should be capable in that regard.

Clearing her throat, she replied cautiously, “Um.. well”

Ellen raised her hand to stop her from speaking further, sighing. “I understand. Vincent isn’t quite up to par in that aspect. You’re such an outstanding woman. Vincent is lucky to have you as his wife. While there may be some compensations in terms of emotional and material support in the short term if there’s no substantial…”

Stephanie gently grasped Ellen’s hand, reassuringly saying, “Ellen, don’t worry. With Dr. Summer’s help, he will surely be cured.”

Ellen’s eyes lit up, but she felt anxious. “Vincent is quite sensitive about this matter, I’m worried he won’t feel comfortable discussing it with Dr. Summer. Perhaps you could mention it to her on his behalf?”

Suppressing a smile, Stephanie nodded. “Sure, I’ll tell her about it.”

“About what?” Vincent wheeled himself into the room.

Ellen smiled. “Nothing much. Stephie and I were making apple pie. You can take some home with you later. Ch, and I’ve also brewed some apple brandy. Stephie hasn’t tried it yet, but it tastes exceptional.”

Vincent suddenly recalled the incident when Stephanie had a bit too much to drink, causing her gown to slip off and revealing her skin.

Feeling thirsty, he cleared his throat. “She can’t drink,”

Stephanie walked over to him, taking his hand in hers. “I’ll just have a little.”

“No,” Vincent objected

Stephanie gestured with her hands. “Just a tiny bit, okay? I love apple brandy.”

Her coquetry worked on him. “All right, just a little then,”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

All she ever wished for was for Vincent to settle down and start a family.

In the past, many women were interested in Vincent’s appearance and power, disregarding his humanity.

It pained her to see that.

She believed true love was the most important thing, especially for her kids, since the Fletcher family didn’t have the custom of marriage alliances.

Besides, Vincent’s prospects of finding true love remained slim amidst his circumstances.

From the moment Ellen laid eyes on Stephanie, she was captivated by her clear gaze, finding her far more appealing than the insincere Florence.

The spectacle at the engagement party had left him disheartened. When Stephanie called all the engagement, she panicked. However, in a sudden turn of events, she expressed her desire to be engaged to Vincent.

Fortunately, he agreed, transforming her from a prospective granddaughter-in-law to a daughter-in-law.

As the apple pie was done, they left it aside to cool. Ellen then presented a small jar of apple brandy, packaging it with the desserts and handing it to

Vincent.

When Stephanie attempted to take it, she was gently stopped by Ellen. “It’s not too heavy. Let him carry it. The apple brandy has high potency. Don’t overindulge.”

Stephanie nodded with a smile.

Once in the car, Stephanie unwrapped the paper bag, releasing the delightful apple atoma.

She offered a piece to Vincent. “Here, taste it.”

Although not fond of sweet treats, Vincent accepted Stephanie’s gesture with pleasure, finding the apple pie unexpectedly delicious

“How is it?” Stephanie asked.

lot bad. Vincent responded.

“Not

Stephanie took a bite and expressed her satisfaction, “Yummy”

As Vincent observed her relishing the cake, he asked, “Earlier in the kitchen, whom were you talking about?”

Stephanie suddenly choked, coughing a few times before Vincent patted her back.

“Are you all right?” he asked.

After coughing for a while, Stephanie said, “Ellen thinks you’re too embarrassed to discuss it, so she suggested I mention it to Dr. Summer to treat your hidden ailment.”

Vincent pressed his forehead with his hand. “I got it.”

Stephanie nibbled her fingers, setting the cakes aside, then leaned closer to ask, “Shall I help treat you?”

Vincent looked at her with a deep gaze. “How would you treat me?”

Stephanie promptly sat on his lap, her hands on his chest. “Like this?”

“Not quite,” he replied.

Stephanie drow closer, and their noses touched. “How about this?”

Vincent’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, his voice husky. “That still doesn’t quite work.”

With her lips brushing against his, Stephanie whispered, “Then what about this?”

Vincent held the back of her head, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. He explored her mouth fervently, stealing all the air from her mouth.

After they both caught their breath, Vincent released Stephanie.

“Do I need treatment?” he asked.

Stephanie sensed his body’s response and shook her head, “No treatment necessary. Shall I sit elsewhere?”

“Why? Is it uncomfortable here?” Vincent asked.

Stephanie pressed her lips together, murmuring, “You’re as hot as a furnace. It’s a little too warm.”

Vincent found her description fitting and pinched her chin. “Stephie, I believe I do need treatment.”

aked at him in confusion. “Why?”

Stephanie looked

A slight smile tugged at Vincent’s lips. “Because only you can cure my hidden ailment.”

Stephanie’s cheeks instantly flushed, not expecting Vincent to be so adept at flirting.

“Dr. Summer, will you treat me?” he asked.

Trembling, Stephanie replied, “I will.”

Vincent kissed her forehead. “When shall the treatment begin?”

Stephanie pursed her lips. “I am ready to administer treatment anytime. It depends on when you are ready to cooperate, Mr. Fletcher”

“Stephie, you’re adorable.” Vincent chuckled softly.

Upon reaching Tranquil Garden, Zane opened the back door.

Upon noticing Stephanie’s swollen lips, Zane thought, ‘Has Mr. Fletcher finally broken the taboo of abstinence after getting together with Stephanie? But isn’t he too beastly to have swollen her lips like that.’

Vincent noticed Zane’s gaze on Stephanie’s face and furrowed his brows. “What are you looking at?”

Zane immediately lowered his eyes. “I just think you two make a great match.”

Only then did Vincent’s brow relax

Stephanie thanked Zane before pushing Vincent into the mansion.

That night, Vincent helped Stephanie apply medicine. “Is it still hurting?”

“A little, she replied.

Vincent looked at her delicate skin marked with scars, feeling a pang of heartache. “In the future, no matter how dangerous it may be, you must not stand in front. Do you understand?”

Stephanie gazed at him. “But I don’t want anything to happen to you. I would rather it happen to me.”

“Stephie.” Vincent reached out and gently turned her face toward him, engaging in a deep and tender kiss.
