A Bit of a Heartwarming Feeling

"Oh..." Grace returned, her heart feeling a little pinched—okay, maybe she was being dramatic.

Wait, does Evan Xiao actually like her?

Was she just being a drama queen? Maybe she was reading way too much into things.

Back at the Stable House, Grace rolled up her sleeves and whipped up a few of her best dishes.

The Stable House had its own little kitchen, but no real chef—just Grace, playing kitchen queen for the day.

The Stable Steward hardly ever touched that kitchen, which meant Grace had free rein to cook up whatever she wanted.

She left some food for the Stable Steward, then brought the rest over to Aiden and Leon, making sure everyone got a taste of her kitchen magic.

The rest went into a food box, and off she went to the guards’ barracks—time to spoil Justin Guo a little.

As luck would have it, she’d barely reached the gate to the outer residence when she practically bumped into Justin Guo himself.

"Justin!" Grace called out, her voice bright and happy.
