Chapter 306: Heart of the Home
Cammy woke up later than usual as she stretched under the cozy blanket. It wasn’t just the food coma from last night’s feast that had her sleeping in—she’d officially taken the day off from the orphanage to pick up Dylan and Grace from the airport. A rare, well-deserved break.
She yawned and blinked groggily, only to be met with the warm aroma of coffee and the sight of her husband sitting nearby, already dressed and looking far too fresh for someone who clearly had been up for hours.
"Good morning, wife," Greg greeted, his voice rich with affection as he held a steaming cup in one hand and scrolled through his laptop with the other.
Cammy rubbed her eyes and smiled. "You’re up early."
"I had a mission," he said, closing his laptop with a dramatic flair. He swapped the coffee for a wooden tray he’d kept hidden until just the right moment. "Ta-da! Breakfast in bed for the queen."
Cammy’s eyes widened at the spread—fluffy French toast dusted with powdered sugar, a colorful fruit salad, scrambled eggs with herbs, juicy Hungarian sausages, and a tall glass of fresh orange juice.
"Wow, this is a lot," she laughed, sitting up and fluffing her pillow behind her back. "I don’t think I’ve even digested last night’s dinner yet."
Greg placed the tray gently on her lap, feigning a dramatic pout. "Exactly! You gorged on Ric’s cooking and Sister Olivia’s desserts, then went to bed without saying goodnight to your very loving husband."
Cammy chuckled, eyes twinkling. "Wait... is that jealousy I hear? Over food?"
Greg crossed his arms in mock offense. "Absolutely. I was left starving for attention!"
