As Mia Grant came out of the walk-in closet, she smelled a fragrant aroma.
It was freshly baked egg tarts, still steaming, the scent wafting through the air.
She froze, standing still for a long moment before walking forward.
The room was brightly lit, and she tried to take in the layout.
No one was there.
Her gaze grew cautious. She even paced over to the bed curtains to check again and again.
'There's really no one here.'
Walking to the table, she looked down and examined the items on it.
A box of egg tarts and a cup of double-skin milk pudding.
"…"
They were from that familiar shop.
Mia's hand trembled, and she nearly dropped it.
The only people who knew she liked this shop were Hayes Hughes and Silas Grant.
It couldn't be the former.
Hayes Hughes had already returned to Jynsia.
Putting the items down, Mia clung to a final sliver of hope and went out the door.
