Zinnia didn’t dislike it because it tasted bad. What bothered her was knowing she didn’t even get to choose what she liked. Even the ingredients were limited. That alone made it feel bland, no matter how it actually tasted.

However, Zinnia found herself liking these pumpkin pies and decided she would definitely come back to this place more

often.

There were only eight pieces of pumpkin pie in total-four on each plate. With five people at the table, everyone took one, leaving just three. Zinnia didn’t feel right taking more.

She thought maybe she would just order a couple more herself later.

“Of course, Zinnia. If you want more, I’ll ask Tessa to make extra ones for you,” Ethan said without hesitation.

“Really? Thank you so much.” Zinnia’s eyes lit up like a kitten getting a treat. She was so happy and couldn’t even hide it.

Seeing her radiant smile, Ethan blushed. “I’ll go talk to Tessa right now,” he said before darting off in a flash.

“You can have them all. We’re almost full,” Brian said, sliding a plate of pumpkin pies toward Zinnia, making it clear she

could have it all.

“Exactly, Zinnia, Don’t feel embarrassed,” Maisie added, then turned to Lydia. “Lydia, let’s share these ones.”

“Alright,” Lydia agreed with a small nod.

Zinnia’s joy was overflowing, and everyone could see it.

“You’re so kind to me.” Zinnia hesitated, feeling a bit shy.

“It’s totally fine. We’re good friends, so don’t feel bad about it. If you like it, go ahead and enjoy,” Maisie said with a smile, playfully pinching Zinnia’s cheek.

They weren’t particularly fond of desserts themselves, so they didn’t mind letting Zinnia have her fill. If there were more available, Maisie would have ordered extra ones just for her.

“Thank you,” Zinnia said with a bright smile.
