Chapter 176: Who Is She?
The next day, Evelyn woke up earlier than usual. Making sure to check on Gracia to her right, she got out of bed to get ready. Since Zevian seemed to have attended meetings last night, she didn’t disturb him or Kiana and walked over to the kitchen. Picking up the ingredients, she started preparing breakfast for her mother while the chefs made for everyone else.
Once Evelyn was done, she took the tray to Gracia’s room. She was already up and was standing in front of the dressing table, getting ready.
"You should have slept more," Evelyn chided with a pout. Placing down the tray on the coffee table, she walked over and Gracia wrapped in a hug.
"I have rested well enough, don’t worry," Gracia replied with a smile. She patted her daughter’s head, both enjoying the moment for a while.
Evelyn brokea hug and turning to the table, she said with a smile, "I made breakfast for you."
Gracia’ssmiled widened, her face beaming in excitement. The little rabbit who used to run around her in the kitchen was now making meals for her. It brought tears to her eyes, a mix of happiness and bitterness gripping her heart.
"Come. It will get cold," Evelyn murmured and took Gracia to the couch.
She gently helped her settle down, before bringing the tray closer. The tray was carefully arranged with a bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh berries, a fluffy vegetable omelet, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Gracia picked up the spoon and tasted the oatmeal first. She nodded in approval before cutting the omelet and taking a bite of it. "Hmm, it’s good!" she said, bringing a smile to Evelyn’s face.
Evelyn watched her mother’s eyes sparkle with joy as she enjoyed the breakfast, her heart full with joy. Both enjoyed the moment in silence, their mind swirling with last night’s conversation.
A few minutes later, a maid walked in, carrying a set of freshly brewed coffee and a pot of herbal tea.
