"Hey, what brings you here?" Jaden asked, furrowing his brow. Hadn't he told her to stay in her room?

Candace flashed a gentle smile. "I noticed you haven't eaten all morning, and I was worried you might be starving, so I whipped up some pastries." As she spoke, her sparkling eyes drifted to the other heirs. "You all should try some too. I made plenty."

"Oh, no thanks."
