Meanwhile, Bradley made his way to the study and opened one of the suitcases. His attention wasdrawn to Esther’s diary titled “Secret Crush Diary.” Normally, he would respect her privacy and refrainfrom reading it. But this time, he inexplicably decided to open it.
On the first page, Esther had written a warning in her elegant handwriting: “This is Esther’s SecretCrush Diary, no peeking.”
Following the warning, she had sketched a simple yet fierce and cute little girl.
A faint smile played on Bradley’s lips. Just as he was about to delve into the contents, Esther enteredthe room carrying a tray.

“I prepared some food for you in case you have to work late into the night. There’s coffee to keep yourawake, milk to help you sleep, cake, and some fruits,” replied Esther.
“Leave the coffee and take the milk away,” Bradley requested, not particularly fond of milk.
