Bella was not expecting Axel, but Axel came because he had something urgent to discuss with her.

Despite Ralph's crude character, he had considerate moments. Ralph went out of his way to buy Bella and Amelia some of their favorite pastries. He even stood in line for close to two hours. He was surprised that Carrie was there too.

Had he known, he would have bought more. Ralph did not want to come across as playing favorites.

"Wow! Are these pastries in the shape of pandas the shop's latest product? They look so cute!"

Amelia loved cute-looking pastries. Unable to resist, she put the whole pastry in her mouth.

Bella helped herself to one too. The smile on her face was infectious, and Justin took note of the pastry shop for future reference.
