“Forget about it; I didn’t bring my card, and I don’t remember the numbers.” Waylon checked the time and said, “I will leave now.”
“Would you like to stay for dinner? Nah, it is not good enough here.” Doris rejected her own suggestion by offering another. “Let’s meet at a restaurant tomorrow for dinner; it’s on me! You can bring your card too.” Waylon ignored Doris’ murmur and walked to the door. She quickly followed him to see him off. Before leaving, Waylon looked at the baby boy in Doris’s arms and asked softly, “What’s his name?”
“Una!” Doris replied with a smile.
“How about the baby girl? Nessa?” Waylon had a bad feeling.
“Correct! That’s so smart of you!” Doris looked delighted.
“Una? Nessa?” Waylon left, but he obviously did not agree with Doris’s choices for her kids’ names.
The second day, Emmeline was learning how to make dessert from Doris at Nightfall Cafe.
Janie came in a beautiful dress; she had slimmed down, but her condition looked much better. Emmeline could not help but feel sorry for her.
Emmeline looked at Janie and said, “I will ask Mrs. Brown to make some soup for you. Look at you, you have slimmed down too much!”
“Everyone is begging to have a face like mine now; I should be happy now.” Janie joked about it.
“You are just too good at convincing me.” Emmeline laughed while signaling Sam to make coffee for Janie.
“I heard from Benjamin that you have done some renovations on the second floor.” Janie said.
“Just some impulsive idea, and I love the result.”
“I know it’s going to be something interesting!”
“Come on, I will take you on a tour! We can enjoy some dessert too!” Emmeline held Janie’s hand.
Janie happily accepted Emmeline’s suggestion. “Sure, I can’t wait! I would like to get some back too.”
“Of course, I will make some for you later.” Emmeline smiled.
“Janie, do enjoy yourself with Ms. Louise; I will bring the coffee to you later.” Sam said.
Janie replied, “Sure, thank you!”
“Don’t be so formal; we are soon to be one family!” Sam winked at her.
Janie turned red at her words; she understood the meaning of one family. It was between her and Benjamin.
On the second floor, Emmeline showed Janie around; she was amazed and complimented, “It looks good; the atmosphere matches the cafe too!”
“It’s all on Abel. He helped a lot.” Emmeline smiled softly.
“Mr. Abel treats you so well; he provides everything you asked for!”
Emmeline did not answer her, but she knew it was the truth. Abel got me everything I asked for. No. Sometimes I didn’t need to ask; he just knew what I wanted.
“Emma, I have an idea! Would you take me in? I am good at serving too!” Janie said.
“I will not dare to hire you. Ben will kill me if he knows his right-hand man is gone!”
Janie laughed at Emmeline’s reply, “But I would really love to work for you! Free coffee and free dessert… this is the life I have dreamt of!”
“Hahaha, that’s why I got myself into this industry!”
“The best job you can have is to work for your hobby. I wanted to make some coffee and dessert while taking care of the garden too! What a life!”
“I always welcome you here! Just do whatever you would want to do here!” Emmeline brought Janie into the room.
Meanwhile, Doris had baked the dessert and invited them to have a taste. “Alright, Ms. Louise, have a bite!”
Emmeline took one for Janie and said, “Try it. This is good.”
