“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 a few bites and the fragrance and savory taste surprised him. He was completely absorbed in the taste.
