Kaylee followed Violeta and the others as they left school.

Liam was waiting for them at the school gate.

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

"Kay, you can place the order."

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."
