Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 163 A Waste of Ingredients

Hattie smiled warmly. "We baked a chiffon cake and thought we'd bring some for everyone to enjoy."

The servants glanced at each other, surprised to see them showing up at their door.

"You're too kind, especially since you brought this over in this bad weather.

"I'll go tell Mr. Niall."

One servant hurried upstairs to let Niall know.

Since they were already there, it wouldn't be right to leave them outside, so the servant opened the door and invited them into the living room.

The inside of the estate looked completely different from the small house they had stayed in before.

The small house was just a temporary spot on the island for fishing trips, but this vacation estate was really fancy.

It had a similar style to the small house, but it was much bigger.

When Niall heard about their visit, he came downstairs.

Seeing them sitting on the sofa, he frowned slightly. "What brings you here?"

Hattie and Benson turned to look at him when they heard his voice.

Niall was dressed casually in a white sweater and loose black pants that made him look tall and elegant. He had a handsome face and stood tall like a tree, making him quite a pleasing sight. Hattie couldn't take her eyes off Niall.

Benson spoke up first, saying, "Hello, Mr. White. To thank you for sending the yacht to rescue us, Hattie and I baked a chiffon cake and brought it for you to try."
