Chapitre 901: Second breakfast

"You guys are having a late breakfast.", Ellie commented when she came to the dining room with Jasper and found Tom and Brian seated at the table.

"Good morning, Queen.", Brian responded and nodded in greeting to Jasper while doing his best not to think about his three beloved Calvins which are lost. Forever. "This is our second breakfast."

Brian's last sentence made Ellie and Jasper exchange looks which screamed that two of them were naughty. Neither of them tried suppressing smiles, that was impossible to do. 

Tom had difficulty lifting the gaze from his coffee.

Ellie didn't want to call him out, but Jasper had no problems saying cheerfully: "Good morning, Tom."

"Morning…", Tom mumbled in response and that earned him an elbow nudge from Brian.

"Ignore him.", Brian awkwardly said. "He has some issues of his own."
