Chapter 39 Cheer Up Upon Seeing Cakes

When Gianna and Sherman left the Geller's villa, it was already 10 p.m.

Just as they were about to go home, Taryn ran over. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Ms. Geller, let's go eat together?" Taryn held onto Gianna's hand, her voice soft and sweet.

The guests tonight hardly had a chance to eat. They were all too busy watching the farce play out.

After they go home tonight, they will most likely need to have some food.

Gianna was just about to refuse when Murray pushed Lloyd over to her.

Lloyd spoke up, "Let's go together. Taryn really likes you. If you don't come, she won't be able to sleep tonight."

Then, he turned to Mr. Geller and Ms. Nash and said, "Mr. Geller and Ms. Nash, why don't you come with us? It's a good opportunity to meet each other properly!"

"No, thanks," Sherman refused. "You can go and eat. My wife and I won't join you. Calvin has school tomorrow, so we need to go back early and get some rest."

"That's fine. I'll come by tomorrow to officially propose, and we can have a proper meal then," Lloyd said without insisting.

Sherman turned to Gianna and instructed, "Gia, come back home early after dinner. Girls shouldn't stay out overnight. If it's too late, just give me a call and I'll come pick you up!"

After speaking, he gave Lloyd a fierce look with a warning glare that seemed to say: "If you dare to bully my daughter, I'll risk my life to hold you accountable!"

Lloyd's mouth twitched!

He didn't even bully her when she was drugged, let alone now when she's so clear-headed.

Gianna, who had originally wanted to refuse, reluctantly agreed, "Okay..."

Since they've already made the decision for her, she couldn't refuse.

After getting into the car, they decided on where to eat.

There were four adults, one child, and five different taste preferences.

Lloyd wanted light food.

Irvin wanted fast food.

Murray wanted barbecue.

Gianna wanted clam chowder.

Taryn wanted fried chicken.

Unable to make a decision, they decided to go to the city centre and choose randomly.

So they drove to the city centre, found a parking lot and walked down the street.

At 10 o'clock, Rheinsville City was bustling.

There were dedicated night market stalls, and all sorts of shops were open with an increasing number of customers.

Murray pushed Lloyd.

Taryn rarely went shopping outside, and even if she did, she would quickly return home without enjoying herself. Seeing so many shops on the streets now, the little girl couldn't help but jump and hop. She pulled Gianna to children's clothing shops and then to shoe shops!

These shops did not sell big brands, but buying stuff is just the nature of women, and the same goes for the little girl.

Before this, Taryn didn't have the opportunity to pick out beautiful clothes on her own. Now that she saw the clothes, she tried on many clothes and didn't even think about food.

By the time they found a place to eat, she had already bought more than a dozen sets of clothes.

"Wow! Cakes!" Taryn had just handed the new clothes she bought to Irvin when she saw a popular cake store. She immediately pulled Gianna and said excitedly, "Ms. Geller, there are cakes! Let's go buy some! I haven't had cakes in a long time."

Gianna, who was feeling a bit bored from walking around, lit up at the mention of cakes. "Cakes? Where?"

She had been walking with her head down and didn't notice any shopfronts on the street!

It had been a long time since she had eaten cakes!

When she was on the mountain, Esteban would buy cakes for her every few days. After she came down from the mountain, there were a lot of things to do for Esteban, and since she could buy them herself at any time, Esteban stopped buying cakes for her.

However, she seemed to be quite busy every day, and whenever she wanted to eat cakes, it was already late and the cake stores were closed.

"There it is!" Taryn pointed to a cake store nearby. "Ms. Geller, let's go quickly. There are only two pieces of strawberry cake. If we're too late, they'll be bought by others."

"Strawberry cake!"

Gianna's eyes lit up like never before. She picked up Taryn and ran toward the cake store!

Her speed was so fast that Lloyd, Irvin, and Murray were all shocked!

What just happened?

A gust of wind blew by?

But there was clearly no wind!

Then, they saw Gianna, who moves like the wind, holding Taryn, taking the cake from the glass showcase, paying and leaving!

All in one breath!

A nearby customer was about to take away one piece of strawberry cake, but he didn't expect Gianna to be so quick. He was simply dumbfounded, and his hand froze in mid-air!

When Gianna and Taryn walked back with their spoons in hand, eating their cake, the three of them finally snapped out of their daze.

Taryn took a bite of her cake and asked Gianna excitedly, "Ms. Geller, you also like strawberry cake? If I had known earlier, I would have bought more when I came with Lloyd. There were only two pieces, and they were so small. I didn't get enough!"

The cake was very small and could only serve as a snack.

"Well," Gianna's mood improved after eating the cake, and she wore a charming smile, "I like strawberry cake very much."

She liked to eat strawberry cake, and Esteban would buy the cake for her almost every time there was a new flavor.

She has eaten over a hundred different flavors of strawberry cake, but none of them could compare to the flavor in her memory.

She had once tasted a homemade strawberry cake, and she could never forget that flavor.

However, the person who made it was already a vague figure in her mind.

It was so blurry that she could hardly recall the face.

Lloyd and the other two just quietly watched them eat cake.

Seeing how much they enjoyed the cake, Irvin couldn't help but ask, "Is this cake really that delicious?"

It looked pretty ordinary and there was nothing special about it!

Besides, the cake was made with cream, and eating it would make you gain weight!

Don't girls fear getting fat? How could they be so happy about eating cake?

Gianna was in a good mood and spoke to him with a hint of joy, "Do you want to try it?"

The clerk gave her two extra spoons. Since she was in a good mood, she could share her cake with them!

Irvin looked at the cake and said, "No, thanks."

The cake is not big, so if he takes another bite, there won't be much left.

Lloyd didn't say anything, he just stared at Gianna. In his profound eyes, there was an indescribable gleam. After a long silence, he lightly asked, "Do you really like strawberry cake?"

"Of course!" Gianna grinned, feeling overjoyed.

Lloyd seemed lost in thought, and his gaze towards her held a hint of something deeper.

She and that child seemed to have the same preference.

Was it just a coincidence?

"Wow!" Irvin couldn't help but click his tongue twice. "A girl's heart is really like a needle at the bottom of the sea! Ms. Geller used to always have this cold demeanor, but who would have thought that with just a piece of cake, we could see her cute side. I'll buy a cake like this myself someday and see if it's really that delicious."

Lloyd gave him a sideways look and said to Gianna, "I'll buy you cake from now on. Whenever there's a new flavor, I'll have it delivered to you."

"Okay!" Gianna smiled happily. "Just strawberry cake will do."

After a moment's pause, she added, "Other flavors are fine too."

But her first choice was definitely strawberry cake.

"Okay." Lloyd smiled softly in agreement.
