Chapitre 114: Invested 

Rain woke up feeling energized early in the morning. She smiled at the sight of Alexander's neatly made bed. As expected, he was already gone for his usual pre-dawn jog. 

Stretching her arms, she quickly got up. Despite feeling disheartened the day before, today felt different. She decided to push thoughts of Sanya aside and focus on the upcoming visit with her Aunt.

Heading to the kitchen, Rain started cooking breakfast and decided to bake an apple pie, her Aunt's favourite. Though she wasn't sure if her homemade version would match up, she was excited to try. Chef Philip stayed with her the entire time, offering guidance and valuable tips, which made the process much easier for her.

"Do you think I can leave you for a bit, Miss Rain?" Chef Philip asked. 

Rain smiled and replied, "Of course! I'm almost finished, and after this, it just needs to go in the oven, right?" He nodded, reminding her of the correct temperature and baking time.
