Kaylee followed Violeta and the others as they left school.

Liam was waiting for them at the school gate.

The four boys and two girls left the gate and went to a Korean restaurant, where they reserved a private room for lunch.

When it was time to order, Violeta handed the menu to Kaylee.

"Kay, you can place the order."

Kaylee took the menu carefully and noticed that even the cheapest set meal cost over 60 dollars.

Being an ordinary college student, Kaylee only received 270 dollars as her monthly living allowance.

How could she afford such an expensive meal? So, she handed the menu. back.

"Vio, you can order instead."

Violeta noticed Kaylee's embarrassment and said, "It's okay. You don't have to pay."

Zoren nodded, "Yeah, you two girls are dining out with us. Why would you need to pay? Just order whatever you want. No need to be polite."

While ordering, Violeta's gaze fell upon a coffee shop across the street called Sunset Cafe.

During her most difficult times, they even let her eat and stay at the cafe for

Unfortunately, the cafe didn't do well and closed down. The couple returned to their hometown, and Violeta never saw them again.

In her previous life, she regretted being unable to repay these two kind people. Hayden noticed Violeta's gaze was constantly fixed on the cafe across the street, so he asked, "Would you like some coffee?" Violeta withdrew her gaze and smiled at Hayden, saying, "I want to go to the cafe across the street later."
