CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: THIS IS CALLED RI YU TIAN

Put chocolate, marshmallows, whole milk, and lilies in the pot, stir over low heat until thickened, strain, then pour into a container, and refrigerate for an hour.

As Adrian Lancaster walked in, Faye Turner was just taking the finished dessert out of the fridge, "You’re back?" She quickly sprinkled some cocoa powder on top.

"Yeah." He took off his coat and hung it up, ready to head into the study.

"Wait!" She came over with small steps holding the fresh dessert, blocking his path, "Mr. Lancaster, would you like to try this? Freshly made mousse cake! I made it myself!"

Adrian Lancaster looked at the cake and then at her, "You can have it." He showed no interest.

Then he stepped past her and pushed the door into the study.

"Just give it a taste!" Faye Turner was anxious and hurriedly followed him in, "I’m not claiming my desserts are the best in the world, but everyone who tries them loves them, especially this ’Daily Sweet’. It even has insomnia-relieving effects!"

As he rounded the desk, the man’s footsteps paused, turning his gaze towards her, "What did you just say?"

The girl was a bit surprised by his change in attitude, but still quite happy!

She quickly brought the cake to him, carefully placed it on the table, and handed him a fork, "Won’t you give it a try?"

"You said, this is... ’Daily Sweet’?" Adrian Lancaster asked again.

"Yes." The girl nodded with a hint of pride, "A dessert I created myself! It’s called ’Daily Sweet’! The meaning is simple, a small piece every day, never short of sweetness."

How could there be such a coincidence?

Adrian Lancaster sat down at the desk, took the fork from her hand, and tasted a bite of the dessert on the table. The taste was a bit special, "Where did you learn this?"

"Didn’t I just say? I created it myself!" The girl, seeing his interest, sat down on the stool opposite him, a desk separating them.

Adrian Lancaster was puzzled, was this what Mr. Mark loved?

So, is she the store manager?

The man couldn’t be bothered to have someone investigate her, so he asked directly, "What’s your relationship with The Fairy Tale Nook?"

Now it was the girl’s turn to be astonished, just staring at him!

The couple’s eyes met as he waited for her answer.

The girl frowned, "You... investigated me? If you did investigate, then wouldn’t you know my relationship with the store? Why ask?"

"So you’re really the store manager?"

"Nonsense, I’m the owner! One of the investors!" Faye Turner couldn’t help but sigh lightly when mentioning the store, "But this store doesn’t really make a profit. It’s been open for only three years, and too much money was invested in the early stages."

Adrian Lancaster’s mood at this moment... was a bit hard to describe, searching high and low? Effortlessly found?

But he didn’t show much excitement, instead, he took another bite of the dessert and asked, "Why? Are you trying to bribe me? Go on, what do you want to ask?"

"Smart!" Faye Turner, hearing him ask, felt no need to worry about how to begin, "I wanted to ask why is the series you value so much called ’Eternal Moment’?"

Adrian Lancaster’s eyes paused slightly, raising his eyes to meet hers.

The girl rested both hands on the table, blinking with curiosity as she quietly and obediently waited for his answer.

As Adrian Lancaster met her gaze, he was somewhat slightly stunned, and the air seemed to have a brief standstill.

"I’m trying to find an entry point to design a work that will satisfy you," Faye Turner’s eyes were serious, "So... I want to know about this story."

But how could Adrian Lancaster take out his first love from his heart and share it with her?

Such an excellent man, how could he reveal his scars in front of his own wife? And give this woman a chance to laugh at him?
