NOVPUBChapter 919: 443 Stepping on Snow_2 Chapter 919: 443 Stepping on Snow_2 Upon seeing Alexa Gatten sitting beside Madam Elijah, Cynthia Spinter furrowed her brows.
Maddy Spinter, having received a scolding, felt uneasy.
She pouted and said, “Aren’t you trying to get on her good side just for Digby Hart?
I said I didn’t want to come, but you forced me to.
What’s the point?
Just to be a foil to others?”
“You…” Cynthia Spinter was shaking with rage.
If it hadn’t been for all the people present, she would have slapped her long ago.
...
Maddy Spinter took a bite of a pastry, expecting it to taste bad.
To her surprise, her eyes widened with delight the next moment.
“This is too delicious.”
Others discovered the same.
Solene Moore took a bite, “Soft, sweet, and with a faint, lingering fragrance on the tip of the tongue.
This is plum blossom cake, right?”
Having taken a bite, Lexi Benz suppressed the urge to comment.
Dallyn came in, carrying a tray.
On it was a green porcelain bottle adorned with delicate plum blossoms.
She replied with a smile, “This is a plum blossom cake made by our Mistress herself.”
Solene Moore blurted out, “Ms.
Rinto made it herself?
That’s priceless.”
After taking a bite, Madam Elijah praised, “That’s really good.
You’re quite ingenious, child.”
Aubree Groove took the green porcelain bottle from Dallyn’s tray and poured some into Madam Elijah’s cup.
A unique aroma of wine wafted to her nose and she lit up immediately, eager to take a sip.
“Is this a plum blossom wine?”
Aubree Groove nodded with a smile.
Unable to resist, Madam Elijah took another sip, “I’ve heard of plum blossom wine.
It’s priceless.
So it’s made in Mika Garden.
The wine is really good.
Do you have more?”
“If Madam likes it, you can pick the plum blossoms yourself in the garden.
After the snow, plum blossoming wine has an even better taste.
After brewing, bury it under the plum tree.
When the hot weather arrives, take it out to quench your thirst and reduce the heat.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Elijah became interested, “That sounds very interesting, come with me later.”
Upon finishing her words, Madam Elijah beckoned to the two little girls obediently following Aubree Groove, “Hellena Groove, Titi Groove, don’t you recognize me anymore?”
Everyone then turned their attention to the two little girls.
The two girls, just over ten, were tall and slender, already starting to develop the figure of a young lady.
They had identical faces, as adorable as snow, like exquisite dolls.
The girl in pink was lively with sparkling eyes.
The girl in the blue dress, however, was more composed and still.
They approached Madam Elijah and courteously greeted, “Hello, Madam Elijah.”
Madam Elijah frowned, “What did you call me?”
Hellena Groove giggled, acting like a spoilt child with an elder, “Auntie Chi.”
Madam Elijah laughed and patted Hellena’s hand, “You’ve grown taller.
Your sister Aubree’s been taking good care of you.”
Everyone was taken aback.
Madam Elijah’s birth name was Elijah Chi, and no one usually dared to call her by her name, let alone call her Auntie Chi.
It was surprising this little girl was favored by Madam Elijah.
Considering that she was Aubree’s sister, it made sense.
Madam Elijah was probably treating the two little girls so well out of respect for Aubree.
A rare smile appeared on Titi Groove’s usually stern face, “Auntie Chi.”
In the past, Aubree often took them to Madam Elijah’s house for a Zen conversation at the weekend.
Sometimes they had lunch at Madam Elijah’s house.
Madam Elijah, having no daughters, treated the two sisters very well.
Whenever she heard they were coming, she would immediately instruct the kitchen to prepare their favorite dishes, sometimes even cooking herself.
It was the first time that Hellena and Titi had experienced love from an elder, so they had developed a sense of closeness to Madam Elijah.
Madam Elijah held Titi’s hand, “You’re growing more and more like a young lady.
You are on vacation, right?”
Titi nodded, “Yes, Auntie Chi.”
“Come, sit next to me.”
Titi and Hellena took their positions on the left and right side of Madam Elijah.
Watching the two of them, Madam Elijah couldn’t help but sigh, “Aubree, your twin sisters are so beautiful and well raised.
You are truly blessed.”
Aubree looked at the two of them with soft eyes.
“Wonder what kind of heartless parents could abandon such pretty girls.
If they knew what’s happened to them now, they’d regret it bitterly.” A sudden voice made the atmosphere turn awkward.
Solene Moore quietly tugged at Lexi Benz’s clothes under the table.
Apparently, some people were skilled at pouring cold water on others.
