338 Delicious Breakfast


    Hearing Isabe asking this, Cedric was stunned for a moment. Then, he rubbed Isabe’s head with a loving smile on his face and said, “Ste and I are also friends. There are some things that Joseph doesn’t need to know, but I do. Moreover, I have known a lot of information through the grapevine.”


    Isabe suddenly remembered Cedric’s “gangster background”. In fact, he was nothing like a gangster. He was very suave and mature. But he was still a part of the Stretton family. He surely knew more about the gangster’s world than Joseph, so Isabe gave a nod.


    Cedric pinched Isabe’s nose. “Clever girl, story time is over. Go to sleep now.”


    Isabe smiled. Cedric leaned over and nted a kiss on Isabe’s forehead before leaving.


    The next day, the ship was about to reach the Tears of Blue Mirror.


    After Isabe got up, she heard that Ste was still asleep and Cedric and the others were apanying her, so she went to the cafeteria for breakfast alone.


    The head chef was mulling over something.


    “What’s the matter, Chef?”


    When they were in the Wilson Manor, Isabe had a very good rtionship with the Head Chef and the servants. Therefore, even though she split with Joseph, her liking for the people in the manor was not diminished. When she saw the chef’s vacant expression, she asked the question with concern.


    .....


    “Oh, I was wondering what breakfast I should make for the masters. They stayed up the whole night and they must not have a good appetite. I have to make something delicious and tempting.”


    “Delicious and tempting?”


    Isabe pondered for a moment and said, “You can make some toasts. Cook them with milk, and fried them with cheese and butter. They are exhausted now. They probably want to eat that.”


    The head chef was puzzled. “Cook bread with milk? This is too bizarre. I have never done it before.”


    Isabe smiled. “Actually, it’s very simple, but the process is a little bit tricky. When I was a child, I tended to get up and get fidgeting in the morning. My dad would always make this for me. The taste is too sweet and can easily arouse people’s appetite. I couldn’t forget it even till today.”


    The head chef immediately became happy. “If possible, can you teach me, Miss Isabe?”


    Isabe readily agreed, “No problem. Let’s make them together.”


    Half an hourter, the delicious food was born. Isabe wanted to check how Ste was doing, so she followed the head chef and the others and knocked on the door of Joseph’s room in the cabin.


    After Ste had an ident, Joseph brought her directly to her room.


    At this moment, outside the room, Jayden was stumbling and drooling all over the ce. Zachary’s eyes widened, around which the makeup was smeared, making him look like an angry panda.


    Cedric sat quietly in the corner, resting his head on his hands. Joseph wasn’t around. He must be taking care of Ste in the room.


    “Isabe...”


    Seeing Isabe, Cedric was the first to stand up with a tired smile on his face. “Why are you up so early? You slept sotest night.”


    “The squalling of the seabirds woke me up.”


    “I heard that you haven’t had breakfast yet, so I came over to check. How is Ms. Ste?” Isabe smiled.


    “She’s doing OK. She woke up oncest night, cried for a while, and went back to sleep.”


    Cedric held Isabe’s hand, his eyes filled with happiness. “Isabe, you are my breakfast. I’m no longer hungry when I see you.”


    “Turns out I have a superpower.”


    Isabe giggled. Jayden, who stood next to her, sprung up and rushed to the table. “Head Chef, what scrumptious food did you make? Why does it smell so good and tempting?”


    “You guys must be so tired. I used Miss Isabe’s recipe and made the milk and butter bread. It’s a simple breakfast but not sloppy. Jayden, care to try it?”


    “Sure.”


    Jayden grabbed a piece, bit it, and immediately pped his hands. “Not bad! Cedric! Zachary! Come and take a bite!”


    Then, he looked at Isabe and smiled. “So, Isabe can cook. What an amazing surprise!”


    Zachary stood up, pouting as he picked up a piece of bread. His big ck eyes immediately stared at Isabe. He raised his thumb and eximed, “I have a whole new level of respect for you, Isabe. You are beautiful and your cooking skills are excellent.”


    Isabeughed happily after being praised.


    “Joseph!”


    Jayden knocked on the door. “Breakfast is super good. Come on. Take some or a little. Don’t starve yourself. Ste is going to be fine.”


    Joseph replied in a weary voice, “No need. I have no appetite.”


    “Isabe made it. It’s very special. I’m sure that you haven’t eaten it before.”


    Three secondster, the door opened. Joseph walked out of the room and nced at Isabe who was standing next to Cedric.


    His bloodshot eyes instantly sent shivers down Isabe’s spine. She shrunk her neck. In the next moment, she recalled how Joseph kissed Ste and was repelled by it.


    So, she turned her head away.


    “By the way, Isabe, I have good news to tell you.”


    Cedric held Isabe’s arms, walked to the side, and whispered, “I just confirmed with the technical department that the picture and blueprint we got from Mr. Austen have been mostly recovered. They would send them to uster.”


    “Really? That’s great!” Isabe rejoiced. “Cedric, I own you big time! You stayed up dealing with this matter. I really appreciate it!”


    Cedric smiled. “How are you going to thank me?”


    Isabe thought about it and walked to the cart. She took a small cup from the bottom shelf and handed it to Cedric. Then she grinned, “Actually, I know that you didn’t like to eat breakfast, so I made you the milk egg. Here, try it.”


    Cedric was stunned. His eyes were glinting with all sorts of emotions. He held the cup and chuckled, “Don’t tell me that you left it for yourself? Why didn’t you take it out just now?”


    “Because I only made it for you. I don’t want them to get jealous.” Isabe looked awkward. “I don’t like Jayden and the others teasing me.”


    “Cute!” Cedric affectionately scratched Isabe’s nose. Isabe immediately covered it and smiled. When their eyes met, the flowers of love bloomed.


    Something was pped on the te.


    “How is this thing delicious?”


    At the dining table, Joseph, who had just taken a second bite, threw the bread onto the te and shouted unhappily, “It’s not even as good as the dog food!”


    Jayden closed his mouth with half of the bread hanging outside. He was extremely embarrassed and said despondently, “Joseph ... dog food is actually not better than this...”


    Isabe pursed her lips as she watched Joseph m the door and leave. Cedric hurriedly scurried inside.


    “Cedric.”


    “I make it only for you. If you don’t eat it, it’ll get cold,” said Isabe, pulling Cedric back.


    Cedric stopped and looked back at Isabe. His eyes were deep and pensive. “Isabe...”
