Both Gulf and Grace walking into a small but cozy cafe. Etoile Bleue cafe owned by Gulf's dearest best friend, Katana. They sat at the very end of the cafe that has less people. "Papa, this place looks like a fairy cafe. Straight out of fairytale book." Grace explained as she took out her phone and took some photos. Gulf just smile and sat on the chair. Gulf read the menu that were placed on the table. He's too engrossed with the menu that he didn't realise that his daughter took a few picture of him.

"You should try modelling, papa. You're ridiculously handsome without even trying." Garce said as she sat in front of her papa. Gulf just laugh at Grace's words. "You starts to say something weird Miss Kanya. I bet you need some desserts and tea to help you recover." Gulf making Grace gasp. "I wonder where Mark got those spicy mouth from and it was you." Grace said as she open the menu.

A waiter came a few minutes after and they ordered some desserts and tea. Grace ordered sakura macaroons and peach iced tea while Gulf ordered his all time favourite, dark chocolate cake and hot cocoa.

While waiting for their order, Grace starts the conversation. "Why did you forgave Daddy, papa? He did you dirty." Grace asked slowly. Gulf let out a small smile and simply answered, "Because I love him? When you're in love, you're getting more and more stupid. Each day by day. The more you love that person the more you wanted them to be happy even if its costs your entire life's happiness."

Grace nods. "Falling in love is scary." She simply said that while trying to processing his birth father's words. "No, baby girl. Its not scary at all. It makes you stronger." Gulf said. "But, daddy-" Grace didn't get to finish her words. "Daddy loves both of you so bad. He wouldn't raise you if he hates you. He could just left both of you at the orphanage if he hates you. He loves both of you really bad. And I trust him when he said that he loves me because eyes never lies. Eyes is the window to the heart. We can clearly see everything through someone's eyes. And never once I seen hate inside his eyes. That's why I forgave him. "

Gulf's explanation making Grace realise that his papa is the best person she ever meet. She stood before the guy and give him a hug." Thank you for coming back, papa. " Grace said. Gulf kiss his daughter temple before wiping his daughter's teary eyes.

Grace sat on his papa's lap before she sat back on her seat. Then the waiter came back with their foods. Grace excitedly ate her macaroons. As the French dessert placed in her mouth her eyes sparkles. "This is the best thing I've ever ate!" she said while jumping up and down her seat. "Papa, introduced me to the Baker !" Grace said excitedly as she fanning herself.

"Finish everything first, Grace. We'll see her soon." Gulf said as he spoon some chocolate cake into his mouth.

After eating, Gulf asked the waiter to call Katana. Then, the half japanese Thailand women walked to their place. "Gulf! Long time no see? How are you!" the women with Ash blue hair hug Gulf and exclaimed excitedly.

"I'm fine, Ai'Na. I've been living my best life. We just met each other last 2 weeks." Gulf said as he gestured Katana to sit on the chair beside him. "And who's this young lady?" Katana asked as Grace waii at the women politely. "This is my daughter, Grace. Grace this is my best friend and the owner of the cafe, Katana."

"Sawatdee Kha, Mrs. Katana. You made the best macaroon I've ever ate. Just like how I ate back in France." Grace said enthusiastically. "Thank you, my dear. That sakura macaroon weren't made by me. It's my son, Luke." Katana said. "Don't call me Mrs. Katana, darling. Just call me Aunt Na. Short and simple." she continues.

"Ummm... Aunt Na. I've planned to work on a cafe business. Can I please have your son as one of my patisserie." Grace asked politely. "You can ask Luke personally Grace. He's at the kitchen just walk to the door right behind the counter you will find him or ask anyone there." Katana said and Grace walked to the kitchen.

"Your daughter is so ambitious, Gulf." Katana said as she look at Gulf who had shocked face on. "She never care about things like that." Gulf said as he tried to register the idea of his daughter tried to start a business. "Let her be, Gulf. If she like it just let her do it. As long as she doing it positively, just support her." Katana said as she pat her best friend's back.

"By the way, tell me about him." Katana said while wriggling her eyebrows. "Who?" Gulf ask not getting the idea. "Mew, you stupid." Katana said as she hit Gulf's head slowly. "Ohhh... Hehe..." Gulf's face started to redden and he proceed to tell his busy body bestie about his Mew.

Meanwhile, at the kitchen.

"Have you seen Luke?" Grace asked a girl and the girl pointed his finger to a back of a tall guy that were busy doing something. Grace walked towards Luke and tap on his shoulder. "Hey, are you Luke?" She asked politely before the guy turned his back. "Yes, I am." Grace were speechless.

'FUCK, HE IS PERFECTLY FINE... "
