Marcus Quinn originally planned to leave the Imperial City with Adan, but unexpectedly, the Duncan Family intervened, delaying them for an entire afternoon. When Sage Howard arrived to inquire, they were unable to depart.
Marcus Quinn brewed a new pot of tea. Yeats Howard, animatedly talking to his father, recounted the day's events, starting from Lana Shaw's engagement banquet to the shameless money demands from the Duncan and Zhao families.
Yeats Howard's voice was so loud that it filled the whole courtyard. Marcus Quinn went to the kitchen to find tea leaves, and when Adan entered, she saw the man standing at the cooking counter, his expression obscured, silently pouring water into the kettle.
She walked over, hugged Marcus Quinn's waist from behind, rested her small face on the man's shoulder, and smiled, saying, "Marcus, I wonder if Water Uncle and the others have finished catching the green crabs at the scenic area. Let's go home and continue catching crabs."
