Early the next morning, Winnie reached for the phone on the shelf by her bedside out of habit the moment she woke up.

Xavier’s messages popped up on her screen the second she switched her phone on.

One of the messages was sent five minutes ago, asking if she had woken up. The other message was a reply to her text the previous night, as well as wishing her a good night’s sleep.

When she read the heartwarming messages, Winnie’s lips curled upward into a smile.

However, things started going downhill the moment she got out of bed.

She was currently living in the Garland residence at the moment. Due to the fact that Hamish, the patriarch of the Garlands did not welcome her, the treatment Winnie and Jacinta received was not pleasant.

The housekeepers had prepared breakfast for Hamish. Once he had finished eating, it was the housekeepers’ turn to eat.

However, the housekeepers never paid Winnie and Jacinta any attention.

Moreover, the housekeepers were always hogging the kitchen. Jacinta did not even have the chance to cook on her own.

Because of that, the elderly lady was livid. In her heart, she had reprimanded Hamish as hard as she could.

After a while, Jacinta calmed down. Only then did Winnie walk up to comfort her.

“I don’t even like their cooking. Let’s eat out. That way, we can eat whatever we want. I’m craving custard pudding right now. Granny, you haven’t had it in a while too, right?”

“Right. I haven’t had custard pudding since I got here.”

“Just nice, then. I’ll take you to a shop nearby. The custard pudding there is out of this world.”

Once the pair had made up their minds, they headed out in good spirits.

When the custard puddings were served, Winnie suddenly remembered that she had not replied to Xavier’s texts.

After pondering for a while, she decided to just send Xavier a photo of her breakfast.

Within seconds, the man replied: Not bad.

Winnie was feeling a little bored as she had her breakfast. Upon seeing Xavier’s brief reply, she decided to tease him.
