Doris suddenly poked Lewis’s waist with her index finger.

He immediately furrowed his brow and complained, “Don’t be so heartless. You know my waist hurts

“Heh, you deserve it, Doris shot back, her tone fierce, She’d felt sorry for him last night, but since today, not a single ounce of sympathy was left.

She grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom. After changing, Doris made her way downstairs. The delicious aroma from the kitchen hit her immediately, making her stomach growl.

“Doris, want some waffles?” Margaret asked. “If you’re not in the mood, I’ve also got Cream of Wheat. Just pick what you like.”

“Waffles look great. I want to try Nadia’s cooking. Doris sat down next to Margaret and said, “Margaret, I really meant to make you breakfast, but sorry, I overslept. I’ll make it up to you next time.”

“It’s no big deal. Margaret waved it off casually. “Now that you and Lewis are married, I’m sure you’ll be eating at my place often enough.”

Doris remembered setting an alarm for 6 a.m. last night, but it hadn’t gone off. She wondered if she had misremembered, or if someone had turned it off. If it was the latter, the prime suspect was absolutely Lewis. Yet she didn’t know why he did that.

Lewis walked into the dining room, hands casually shoved in his pockets, looking completely relaxed.

Doris let go of her suspicions and lowered her gaze.

Just then, Nadia brought the steaming waffles to the table. Doris grabbed a fork, speared a piece, drizzled some chocolate sauce over it, and took a bite. The waffles tasted indeed soft and delicious.

After breakfast, it was time for Lewis and Doris to head back to work.

Nadia packed some freshly baked bread for them and said, “I’ll bake more once you’re done, and I’ll send it over to you.”

Margaret had also packed a bunch of fresh fruits, filling up the trunk. “We planted them ourselves with no pesticides. They’re totally safe green food.”

Then, Margaret pulled out a card and handed it to Doris. “Here, this is a little gift for your new life together. Take it.”

“Margaret, I can’t take this. Keep it for you,” Doris said, trying to give it back.

“Listen, I’ve got enough money and everything I need. This is just my blessing for you and Lewis. Take it, or I’ll be sad,” Margaret insisted, trying to look stern but failing miserably.
