Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Tatum replied, "Both young masters wake up early, especially Angelo-he's always up before Alonzo. It's tough for him to get out of bed so early on such a cold day."

Sometimes, he just wanted to stay wrapped up in his warm blankets, reluctant to get up.

Annenburg remained freezing even after the New Year, while Wiltspoon's daytime temperatures reached the mid-70s, dropping to the low 50s at night.

Two provinces, two completely different climates.

Wiltspoon's weather was a dream compared to the bitter cold here.

Elora smiled. "Angelo's afraid of being late. Do you really think he'd skip breakfast? Don't bother holding out on him-he's a little foodie."

There was always plenty of food for the little ones in the house.

In fact, anything good was saved for them.

And they had quite the appetite.

Alonzo was a bit picky, but Angelo wasn't fazed by anything. If there were no vegetables, he'd happily eat two bowls of white rice with just soy sauce.

Luckily, both boys were active, constantly running around. They ate a lot but never gained too much weight.

If they ever did, Elora would step in and cut back their portions-better not to let kids get too chubby.

Tatum chuckled. "I know he loves eating here, so I always make sure there's a portion for him. He's not picky at all—makes my job easy when it comes to breakfast." Still, he made sure both boys got the same meal to avoid any favoritism.
