Landon frowned, clearly dissatisfied, but he didn’t push the matter further and left the study.
Later, while shopping at the mall, I unexpectedly ran into Brittany in front of a dessert shop. Her face lit up with surprise when she saw us. "Landon! What a coincidence to see you guys here!"
Landon casually rubbed her head, as if we were all close friends. "It really is quite a coincidence."
I remained silent.
Ever since Brittany was introduced to the company through Landon’s relatives, these "coincidences" had become a common occurrence. I was no longer surprised by how often I found myself in their orbit.
As my gaze drifted to the lounge chairs in the mall, I spotted an empty seat and considered suggesting that Landon and Brittany take a break. But just as I was about to say something, I watched Brittany cling to Landon's arm, her voice sweet and playful.
"Landon, the baby wants to eat that cone, but the line is so long."
Landon pinched the tip of her nose affectionately, his eyes filled with a fondness that made my heart sink. "Okay, okay, little greedy cat, just wait."
