"Okay, are we prepared for the Choi wedding?" Lisa asked her employees while they were busy preparing in the kitchen. "Yes chef everything is okay," an employee answered. "Let's keep it up guys we're really really doing well," Lisa praised her employees. Suddenly her phone rang.

"Hello Rosé?" Lisa answered the call. "I didn't know you ordered crib with mobile. It just arrived," Rosé gladly said. "Yeah, I saw it online and I think it fits our theme," Lisa replied. "It looks expensive and for sure the baby likes it. By the way, will you come later? We can set it up," Rosé hopefully said. "Rosé, I can't. We're busy in the restaurant tonight," Lisa explained. "Is that so?" Rosé sadly responded. "Rosé, I gotta go. Bye," Lisa ended the call. 

"Hey man," Lisa greeted Hae-in as he arrived at the restaurant. "Lis, haven't you received the letter from the court?" Hae-in asked. "What letter?" Lisa asked back. "The notice for pre-trial. It is scheduled next month," Hae-in informed her.

Rosé was done with the setup of the crib with mobile. She was in the nursery room when Jisoo visited her. She handed Jisoo the letter from the court.

"So, what are you going to do?" Jisoo asked. "Nothing," Rosé softly uttered. "Aren't you gonna beg her to withdraw the annulment petition?" Jisoo asked again. "She's already happy and we're already fine. Maybe it's time for me to accept the truth that me and Lisa are nothing but just friends. There were times that I was hoping for changes in our situation but I guess it will never happen. Jisoo it hurts. It hurts me so much," Rosé said as she cried so hard. Jisoo hugged Rosé to comfort her.

"Yes Rosé I'm home," Tzuyu told Rosé through the phone. "Hey mom, where are you going?" Tzuyu asked when she saw her mom going out. "I just talked to Lisa. She said she has a fever. I'll just check how she's doing," her mom answered which was heard by Rosé over the phone. "Okay mom," Tzuyu replied. "Lisa is not feeling well?" Rosé asked Tzuyu. "Yes, mom is going there," Tzuyu answered and Rosé ended the call. 

Lisa half opened her eyes when she noticed someone was wiping a wet cloth in her forehead. She saw that it was Rosé smiling at her. Lisa was so weak so she went back to sleep. 

Lisa regained her strength and slowly stood up to go to the comfort room. She saw a woman whose back was facing her. She then remembered that Rosé applied wet cloth on her forehead. "Rosé?" Lisa called out which made the woman face her. "What are you doing here? I thought I was just dreaming awhile ago," Lisa added. "Tzuyu told me you're sick. Mom was about to go here but I told her I'll go instead," Rosé explained. 

"Rosé, you should leave. You might be infected too and it's not good for the baby," Lisa suggested. "That won't happen because your fever has dropped. Here, I cooked you something," Rosé said showing Lisa the bowl of porridge. 

"I'm not hungry," Lisa stated. "Lisa, I won't leave here unless you eat," Rosé insisted as she put the bowl in the table. "I'll just eat that after you leave. So please, just go," Lisa contested. "Lisa, just eat so that you can take your medicine," Rosé firmly said but Lisa just looked at her.

"Why are you so stubborn? C'mon eat," Rosé stated as she pulled Lisa to the table and made her sit. "You know, you should not abuse your body. You lack rest that's why you're getting sick," Rosé said as she tried to feed Lisa. "I'll do it," Lisa said as she got the spoon from Rosé. 

"It's just that, I'm just really busy this past few days," Lisa reasoned out as she started to eat. "I know that you're tired. You don't need to watch me over, okay? I'm feeling better now," Rosé said. "But I still wanted to help the nursery," Lisa replied. "You can still do it, anytime," Rosé assured her.

"By the way, I already received the court's notice for our annulment," Rosé stated. "Yeah, I'm so sorry for putting you through that," Lisa apologized. "You don't need to apologize. You don't need to worry about me, it's okay. I won't contest the annulment," Rosé said. "No," Lisa uttered. "No, it's fine. Maybe I was just surprised because I seem to forget about it these past few days," Rosé explained.
