章節 238: Stubborn Old Man

****(POV)

This new youngster came out of nowhere. 

Wanting to buy my bakery. 

At first, I refused him categorically, but then I faltered. 

In him, I can see the same passion I used to have long ago. 

Right now I am but an empty husk of my old self. 

I know it.

Everyone knows it too. 

This is why I have been getting fewer and fewer orders. 

Instead of baking for the future, I am simply not letting go of the past. 

Trying day after day to prevent my skills from withering. 

But I know it. 

My hands are not as steady as they used to be. 

My pace is slower. 

I find myself getting tired easily too. 

I am not able to run a business full time. 

Yet I've been pushing myself. 

Even while knowing it is all pointless. 

My nephew will own this place soon enough and get rid of it. 

I do not want to see this happen, but I also have no other family.
