Meanwhile...
"Bad news?"
Dane's brows lifted at the sound of Ivy's familiar voice behind him. He turned to see her striding towards him, a brief smile on her lips.
"The look on your face suggests it is bad news," she observed, stopping a few paces away. "Everything alright?"
"Of course." Dane smiled, gripping his phone to his side. "What brings you here, Miss Wei?"
"Don't worry. I'm not here to declare my feelings again."
"That's not... what I meant."
Ivy's smile widened as she chuckled, glancing at the children playing in the orphanage playground. "Just kidding," she quipped, her eyes shifting to Dominic, and the volunteers engaged in charity work; some played with the children or read a book to them while others were feeding them. "I just thought it's been a while since we caught up. So, here I am to catch up."
"Or were you avoiding the charity work?" Dane teased monotonously, earning a swift glance from her.
