Chapter 126: Who Is this Gentleman?
On Thursday morning, Lariette woke up and got ready for her first meeting at school after being busy the past few weeks. She took a quick shower before changing into a pastel yellow shirt and loose denim pants.
While tying her long hair into a ponytail, Lariette stepped out of her room. Her lips were drawn into a huge grin. As always, delicious scents originating from the kitchen greeted her morning.
"Eddy, good morning."
Lariette saw Ruediger’s tall figure standing before the coffee machine, in his V-neck shirt and long khaki pants. He glanced behind his shoulder, his crimson locks swaying gently, following his little movements.
"Morning, Lettie," Ruediger’s lips curved into a smile. Arching his brows, he asked, "Ready for your meeting, en?"
"Hehe, yes."
Lariette made herself a cup of black tea while Ruediger brought his coffee mug to the dining table. He prepared some savory pancakes for breakfast per her request last night. As for the specific ingredients, she didn’t mind.
"Wow! Spinach pancakes? With smoked salmon and sour cream? Perfect!"
Lariette was elated upon seeing the stacks of green pancakes on her plate. The orange salmon, white sour cream and yellow dill complemented each other, very visually appealing.
Ruediger’s smile softened at the sight of Lariette’s beaming look. He was glad that she generally enjoyed every dish he made so far.
"Dig in. I hope you like it," Ruediger grabbed his own fork after sitting down, his emerald eyes glinting softly as he continued staring at Lariette.
