Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Too bad their friendship wouldn’t last long Chapter 154: Too bad their friendship wouldn’t last long “Two grazed donuts, please,” Gracey voiced, pushing the glass door with a smile and entering the shop, followed by Daniel.  The little bells ring forth a lovely sound that echoes through the small yet friendly bread business.

“Yes, Miss, your order is on its way,” the Lady smiled as Gracey guided Daniel to one of the tables.

Daniel had never been here before, but the enticing aroma of freshly baked donuts made him hungry.

“How come I never came across this place before?” he asked, causing Gracey to smile in answer.

“That’s because you were so busy playing games that you didn’t notice it,” she added in a kind tone, and he nodded in agreement.

Rose approached them and placed their order, saying, “Here are your donuts, and by the way, who is this friend Gracey?” She inquired, prompting Daniel to gaze at the lady.

“My name is Daniel, ma’am, and I am Gracey’s friend,” he remarked nicely, impressing Rose with his respectable demeanor.

She gave her daughter a profound look and nodded.

“I’ve never seen my daughter with a male buddy.

So it’s quite nice to see her make friends, whom she can finally invite to our shop.” Rose may have been disappointed with Gracey, but she realized her daughter was responsible for her actions, and over time, she came to forgive her.

While Rose said it naturally, Daniel was astonished because he had no idea that the place belonged to Gracey, and she had invited him to her family bakery.

He gave her a wide-eyed stare, his mouth parted in surprise.

“Enjoy your donuts,” Rose remarked, and she dismissed them when she spotted a few more customers lined up.

“Why didn’t you tell me she’s your mother, and how can you invite me to your shop without telling me anything?” He asked, embarrassed by Gracey’s long-standing concealment of the truth.

When he suggested to her to hang out, he didn’t come up with a specific location, expecting Gracey to choose one like the other day.

So after she agreed with him, he continued to follow her without saying anything.

“I thought you wanted to hang out, so I thought I’d introduce you to my place this time,” she remarked with a nonchalant shrug, as if it wasn’t a big matter to fret over.

As the two continued to talk, Daniel couldn’t help but relate the delicacy in front of him to his mother.

Belle, too, enjoyed donuts and would frequently prepare them for them, particularly Eveline, who was a big fan.

“They taste delicious.

Even my mother prepares them occasionally, and believe me, they are as tasty as these,” he said.

“Really?

Your mother cooks?” She asked in amazement.

Gracey got the sense that rich people don’t do chores at home, let alone have servants serve them, but his mother cooked for them.

“Yes, she does, and believe me, she prepares the most exquisite food.

I’ll invite you someday,” he said with generosity.

“Gracey, could you please come here?” Rose asked, and she swiftly went, leaving Daniel to view her from the table.

He noted that the bakery had the most delicious menus, yet there were very few customers.

Furthermore, he discovered that only her mother conducted the errands.

“How do they get by?” he mumbled.

“That boy keeps glancing at you.

Are you sure he’s simply a friend?” Rose mumbled, leading Gracey to divert her glance to Daniel, who smiled softly at her.

“No, mom, he’s just a new friend, not the one you met that day,” she added, gazing back at Rose.

With a serious scowl on her face, she inquired, “The one who told me about your-” “No, mom, not her, but the one who came that day and bought you your favorite items.” Rose pondered her words, and she immediately realized who she was talking about.

“But you didn’t…” “That was because I was afraid she would inform you about my suspension, but I think I was mistaken.

She never meant any harm; I just didn’t understand her,” she stated in a gloomy tone that caused Rose to stare at her attentively.

She recalled Gracey running back to the shop and packing few of her favorite bakery items before going away.

That time she didn’t ask her anything as she forgot about it due to her work, but now that she stated, she couldn’t help but feel amused.

‘So it was that girl for whom she took those items,’ she pondered as a smile curled on her lips.

“So are you friends now?” She questioned, catching Gracey’s attention, and she smiled back.

Rose had very acute eyes for people, so it didn’t take her long to see that the youngster was too simple and innocent to harbour any ill will.

Daniel quickly finished his donuts and was ready to depart.

“How will you get home?

You came here with me on the bus?” Gracey enquired with worry.

She recognized it was her responsibility to send him off, but she was preoccupied with some orders her mother received unexpectedly.

Gracey took command because there was no one else who could deliver them, and she would soon have to depart.

“Don’t worry; I’ve already called the driver.

He must be on his way.” Daniel remarked, and she nodded, understanding.

“By the way, how long has your mother been running this business?

I hardly see any customers here,” he inquired, glancing around.

“Three years, to be precise.

We relocated here after I received an Aspen scholarship.

So when we found this shop, we didn’t hesitate to buy it because it also included a house.” “So, you live here?” he inquired, little surprised.

“Yes…

my house is at the back.

We live there,” she added with a hint of hesitation in her tone.

Gracey didn’t like to talk about her family that much, but with Daniel it came out with flow without any restriction of being judged, despite he held a lot of questions.

“Which means you aren’t the only child?” “Yes, I have two siblings-a brother and a sister.

The brother is the youngest,” Gracey replied.

The two continued to converse, with Daniel inquiring about her family and life before they moved to Berlin Street.

It was great to hear her, but he also felt bad knowing how tough it was for them to exist with such little income.

Gracey’s parents had to sell their former home in their hometown to buy this shop.

They were overjoyed for their daughter, who was about to start at one of the most prestigious universities, so they relocated here without hesitation.

They quickly learned how difficult it was to make amends.

Though Gracey’s education was paid for by the scholarship she received, they still had two children to educate, so her father worked several jobs to provide his other two children with a good education.

Daniel understood how easy his life had been from an early age, and he didn’t understand there were individuals out there who had to work hard to provide for their families, and not everything was easy.

Daniel’s car arrived shortly, and he drove away, saying his goodbyes.

Gracey returned to the shop to assist her mother, but she didn’t notice that someone was staring at them the entire time.

“Things have become much nicer between them.

Too bad their friendship wouldn’t last long,” Tiffany said as she stood away from the shop, her eyes penetrating and her mind racing with the unknowns she hadn’t observed before leaving.
