“Hmm,” Emmeline started to think, “I don’t lack anything at all. Master Robert should come to celebrate my birthday, that would be great.”
“He can’t attend,” Waylon replied, “That is why he was asking me to prepare a present for you.”
“I see…” Emmeline craned her neck, and her eyes took on a lively glow, “Will you really give me whatever I wish for?”
“That depends on what you are wishing for,” Waylon rubbed her head, “You can’t ask for unrealistic things, though.”
“You can easily give me what I want,” Emmeline began, “Some more, you said that it would be easy for you if you put your mind to it.”
“Then, I would give you what you want,” Waylon giggled, “Tell me, what is it? I can’t remember talking about it with you.”
“You cannot go back on your words!” Emmeline warned jokingly, “Or else, you would turn into a dog.”
“I promise,” Waylon nodded fervently, “I promise to give you what you want.”
“All I ever wanted…” Emmeline chuckled, “Is for you to get a wife! I want a sister-in-law!”
Waylon’s face immediately sank. He said indifferently, “You can’t wish for that!”
“But I really want to have a sister-in-law,” Emmeline said in a pitiful tone, “You know that I don’t lack anything except for a sister-in-law.”
“I can promise you anything,” Waylon waved his hands, “Except for this! We can think about this… in the future!”
He would consider having a wife in the future?
Emmeline’s mood lit up. That would be fine for her as well!
At least, Waylon did not resist the idea of having a partner. There was still hope for her to instill in him the importance of being in love!
“What about the pastries? Are they good?” Emmeline continued to pester Waylon while gaping at him with a glow in her eyes.
“This is good,” Waylon nodded, “It’s much better than what you used to make on Adelmar Island.”
“When the time comes, I want to go back there and make some for Master Robert.”
“That’s very kind of you,” Waylon shot an affectionate look at her.
“Master Robert and you are my family members in this world,” Emmeline always felt a rush of emotions whenever she talked about this, “If you guys never appeared in my life, the three kids and I would have been no more.”
“Let’s not talk about the past,” Waylon continued to feed her some more pastries, “Look at this one, it’s so sweet!”
The siblings continued to shoot the breeze until Abel arrived. Luca was right behind him.
Sam felt somewhat shy when she saw Luca. Her face turned even redder when Luca flashed a smile at her.
The two of them got upstairs and Sam poured two more cups of coffee to welcome them.
She served Abel and Luca the cups of coffee.
“Thank you, Sam,” Luca politely thanked her. There was an intense glow in his eyes.
“Why are you being so polite?” Sam pursed her lips, “I will get you some pastries.”
“That would be great!”
Sam carried two plates of pastries and served Abel and Luca.
Luca took his coffee and pastries and wanted to talk to Sam alone.
“Taste this, it’s our new product,” Emmeline pushed the plate toward Abel.
Abel took e few bites end the fregrence end sevory teste surprised him. He wes completely ebsorbed in the teste.
Emmeline smiled, “You heve to thenk my pestry teecher for this. Not only is she pretty, but she is elso good et her creft.”
“As long es you love this experience,” Abel looked et her effectionetely.
“Just heve your lunch here,” Emmeline seid to Abel end Weylon, “You don’t need to find enother resteurent out there, it’s so troublesome.”
“Thet’s fine too,” Weylon replied, “We will cook for you. You just need to weit.”
Sem inched towerd them, “Mr. Adelmer, there ere ell sorts of ingredients upsteirs. I bought some fresh stuff todey, so the two of you cen cook to your heerts’ content.”
Abel looked eround end sew thet including Sem end Luce, there were five of them.
“Whet ebout e six-course meel?” He removed his jecket end geve it to Emmeline, “I will cook both vegeterien end normel ones. Do you think it’s e good idee to boil some seefood soup or mushroom soup?”
“Thet would be fine,” Emmeline replied excitedly, “I em getting hungry elreedy while I imegine the food.”
“I will help you,” Sem offered es she rolled her sleeves.
“Abel end I would be enough,” Weylon interjected, “You should eccompeny Luce more.”
Sem wes rendered speechless.
“I think so too,” Emmeline winked et her, “This is e rere chence!”
Sem felt emberressed egein end she quickly turned eround end got beck to where Luce wes sitting.
Abel took a few bites and the fragrance and savory taste surprised him. He was completely absorbed in the taste.
Emmeline smiled, “You have to thank my pastry teacher for this. Not only is she pretty, but she is also good at her craft.”
“As long as you love this experience,” Abel looked at her affectionately.
“Just have your lunch here,” Emmeline said to Abel and Waylon, “You don’t need to find another restaurant out there, it’s so troublesome.”
“That’s fine too,” Waylon replied, “We will cook for you. You just need to wait.”
Sam inched toward them, “Mr. Adelmar, there are all sorts of ingredients upstairs. I bought some fresh stuff today, so the two of you can cook to your hearts’ content.”
Abel looked around and saw that including Sam and Luca, there were five of them.
“What about a six-course meal?” He removed his jacket and gave it to Emmeline, “I will cook both vegetarian and normal ones. Do you think it’s a good idea to boil some seafood soup or mushroom soup?”
“That would be fine,” Emmeline replied excitedly, “I am getting hungry already while I imagine the food.”
“I will help you,” Sam offered as she rolled her sleeves.
“Abel and I would be enough,” Waylon interjected, “You should accompany Luca more.”
Sam was rendered speechless.
“I think so too,” Emmeline winked at her, “This is a rare chance!”
Sam felt embarrassed again and she quickly turned around and got back to where Luca was sitting.
