Finally, breakfast lingered on for a seemingly long ten minutes.

After finishing, Mikayla wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin.

Dexter seemed like a very cultured man. Despite being a man, his culinary skills were truly remarkable. She had now eaten breakfast here twice, and not a single dish had been repeated. The food was genuinely excellent. She usually didn't have much appetite, but she ended up eating more than usual.

"If there's anything else you like to eat, you can tell Dexter. He's pretty much a jack-of-all-trades. If there's anything he can't make, he'll learn." Carlos put down his fork and knife.

"This is fine! There's no need to make something different every day."

"Who knew you'd care this much about Dexter." Carlos turned serious all of a sudden, a hint of jealousy in his voice...

Mikayla smiled, "I'm going upstairs to change." With that, she swiftly headed upstairs.

That man is seriously stingy!

When they came back down, half an hour had gone by.

"Mr. Ludwig, the gifts for Mr. Salvatore and Mrs. Salvatore are ready. They're in the trunk of your car." Dexter walked in from outside the villa, speaking to Carlos.

"Got it! We won't be back for dinner tonight." Carlos said, then reached out and grabbed Jaxon's hand. Carlos seemed to have made a habit of it, whenever she was around, he had to hold her hand. Gradually, what had started as something uncomfortable for her had become something she got used to. If he didn't hold her hand one day, she'd feel odd.

They took the car out of the garage, ready to head back to her parents' house.

It was still that mid-priced Ford.

Despite their lavish wedding, she knew Carlos wasn't short on cash. Rich people, whether men or women, usually loved cars. The garage must have several luxury cars stored, yet since they started dating, she had only ever seen Carlos drive this one. Aside from this car, the only other one in the garage was the one Josiah used to pick her up and drop her off.

She couldn't quite figure out his intentions. Who knows when he'd have to go back to the base, leaving her alone in Xosa? She didn't ask, she didn't want to upset herself.

But she did tell Carlos that her family didn't get along well with Logan.

Returning home three days after marriage was Xosa's tradition.
