Chapter 59: Esme's Sweets Day

The morning sunlight streamed through the kitchen window of the Deacon household, casting a warm glow over the countertops laden with baking ingredients. Esme Deacon, a seventeen-year-old with a passion for baking, was up early, ready to spend her day in the kitchen. Today was special. Blakely, the young Miss of the Arcas family, had finally recovered from her condition, and Esme was determined to make her a get-well gift in the form of sweet treats.

Esme's mother, Mrs. Deacon, the Arcas family's Cook, had always encouraged her daughter to pursue her love for baking. Esme often helped her mother prepare meals for the Arcas family, but today, she had the kitchen to herself. Her mother had a day off and had gone to visit a friend, leaving Esme free to experiment with new recipes.
