Second chance

18. The Sadness of Fany.

Taeyeon stayed with Hwang Yuxin until five o'clock in the afternoon. When it was time for Taeyeon to leave, Hwang Yuxin wanted to see her off to the gate herself despite Taeyeon's attempt to stop her.

In the end, Hwang Yuxin personally went to escort Taeyeon to the car with a servant in tow. At the gate, Hwang Yuxin took Taeyeon's hand and said, "Erika, thank you for coming over to accompany me today. With you around, I felt that time flew today, unlike before when one day seemed like a year."

Taeyeon smiled as she crouched in front of Hwang Yuxin and replied, "I'll come over to accompany you again next Saturday."

Hwang Yuxin nodded in response with a smile. "Okay. What do you like to eat? Tell me, I'll ask the servants to prepare them in advance."

"Shrimp in scallion sauce, hairy crab, and Australian lobster," Erika said, pre-ordering three dishes without hesitation, and smiled before continuing, "The three dishes are my favorite. I like hairy crab and Australian lobster very much. They taste good."

As Erika had been with the Jung Family for more than a month, Hwang Yuxin wasn't surprised in the least that Erika liked to eat these dishes. She smiled and nodded, asking, "What else do you like to eat?"

"Seafood salad." Taeyeon laughed shyly. "There has to be octopus in it. Fresh octopus tastes great."

She really liked seafood.

Hwang Yuxin smiled. "Okay. All the seafood I have here is delivered from the sea every morning. I will have the servants prepare them before you come here. It's a piece of cake for me."

Taeyeon gave Hwang Yuxin a hug and got up to leave. "Aunt Hwang, I'm so happy to have met you. My stomach is even happier."

Hwang Yuxin laughed and bid goodbye to Taeyeon reluctantly. "Next weekend, I will ask the driver to pick you up."

Taeyeon nodded with a smile and got on the car.

Until the car disappeared from sight, Hwang Yuxin didn't ask the servant to push her in. On the other side of things, the butler called Stephanie and reported Hwang Yuxin's condition today. 

The old butler said happily, "Young Master, your idea was great! Today, Miss smiled, and very happily at that. She ate twice as much as usual at lunch. She even brewed tea herself to treat that girl, and she asked her to come over again next Saturday."

On the other side of the call, on a small island near the Pacific Ocean, Stephanie was walking by the sea and looking at the wreckage of the plane. He clenched his mobile phone and his voice was low and deep as he asked, "What else?"

The butler's mild voice sounded from his cell phone. "Miss also asked the girl what she liked to eat, so that she could have servants prepare them in advance next Saturday. Miss looked so vibrant, like she was rejuvenated. Now she is busy preparing the dishes for the girl."

Stephanie crouched down to pick up a piece of debris. The waves rose to wet his sneakers and sweatpants, but he didn't care at all. He handed the debris over to a staff behind him and asked casually, "What did the girl order?"

The girl did seem to have a lot of influence on her mother. His mother hadn't cooked any food for several years, yet that girl had conquered his mother in a day.

"Shrimp in scallion sauce, hairy crabs, Australian lobster and seafood salad." The butler's answer came from the cell phone along with his laughter. "The girl made a special mention that seafood salad must have the freshest octopus."

Standing in the seawater, Stephanie suddenly couldn't hear any sounds. He stood on the spot as countless memories flashed through his mind.
