Rose pastry — he rembered that Daisy Grant’s favorite was rose pastry.
Dawn Sutherland’s deep eyes flickered, thinking of the wedding date Daisy and her fiancé had already set. His gaze dimd, and he planned to speed past Fresh Blossom Bakery, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure so familiar it could be no one else.
Dawn thought he was seeing things, his eyes flickering. Only when he noticed the car parked on the street did he truly confirm it. He imdiately braked and parked his car by the roadside.
The car parked on the side belonged to the Grant family, and he recognized the driver; it was soone from the Grant family.
So the person inside was indeed Daisy; he hadn’t been mistaken.
Dawn walked into the bakery, his gaze carrying a gentle warmth like water.
Daisy Grant was saying sothing to the clerk, her face adorned with a soft smile that seed to warm the entire room.
"Daisy."
A familiar voice rang out, and Daisy, who had been looking down with a smile, turned around. When she saw the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, her eyes startled slightly, and she softly called out, "Second Brother."
Dawn gave a faint smile, "What are you doing?"
Daisy’s eyes flickered a bit, and she shook her head, "Nothing, I just—wanted to eat so rose pastries, so I ca to buy so."
After speaking, Daisy felt sowhat nervous inside. She turned her head and casually picked two boxes of rose pastries from the display case, trying to cover up the guilty feeling of lying, not daring to look at Dawn.
"The rose pastries here are indeed good." Dawn said with a gentle smile.
He rembered she liked the pastries from this bakery, so during the five years she was abroad, he would often find himself inexplicably walking in to buy two boxes whenever he passed by.
Yet, in those five years, no matter how many boxes he bought, he hadn’t heard her happily eating and saying, "Second Brother, it’s so good, let’s try it together! This is the best pastry in all of City C!"
As Dawn’s thoughts drifted, Daisy had already walked to the counter to pay.
Dawn ca back to his senses and watched Daisy taking out her wallet. He imdiately went over, handing cash to the cashier first. eting Daisy’s gaze, Dawn smiled faintly and said with a calm face, "The last ti you gave those important client lists, we were fortunate enough to strike a deal with President Forest today. Daisy, consider this my thanks to you."
Daisy graciously nodded with a smile, accepting the food bag from the clerk’s hands, "Second Brother, then I’ll accept your thanks."
"Alright." Dawn nodded and smiled.
Since Dawn frequented the bakery, the staff was familiar with him. The cashier teased Dawn, "Sir, so your girlfriend loves rose pastries? No wonder you’re always buying them. The two of you, handso man and beautiful woman, truly look perfect together."
Daisy tightened her grip on the rose pastries and smiled as she asked, "Second Brother often cos here to buy rose pastries?"
Before Dawn could answer, the cashier teasingly interjected, "Yes, this gentleman often visits to buy rose pastries. I presu they’re for you, his girlfriend? You’re so blessed to have such a caring boyfriend."
Daisy’s gaze dimd, her emotions gathered, and she shook her head with a smile, "You misunderstand. We are not a couple; we’re—siblings."
The clerk laughed awkwardly and imdiately apologized.
Dawn’s body tensed hearing the words ’siblings’, his thin lips moved slightly, his gaze deepening. He spoke with a warm voice, "Let’s go, Daisy."
"Okay, Second Brother."
The two walked out of Fresh Blossom Bakery side by side, conversing with each other.
Due to the clerk’s earlier misunderstanding, there was a bit of awkwardness between them, making the atmosphere sowhat less comfortable.
