Chapter 9

Two years later, I'm bustling around in my cake shop.

Yes, after leaving, I opened this little bakery here, selling the most blissful sweets and cakes.

Dad is dozing off in a lounge chair by the door. This old geezer, he's supposed to be watching the store for me but he's always sleeping.

I shake my head and drape a small blanket over him.

Dad seems to be having a pleasant dream, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

Days like this are truly wonderful.

After a busy afternoon, Dad sits nearby, engrossed in his phone.

Suddenly he pipes up, "Looks like someone's flower messenger is here again."

I shoot Dad an exasperated glare, but the old coot pretends not to notice and continues scrolling on his phone.I felt amused inside.

Looking up towards the window, I saw Nolan had arrived.

A year ago, when I was preparing to open my shop, I met Nolan.

According to him, I was his muse, love at first sight.

But I had long since stopped believing in such things.
