Chapter 10 Back to Home (1/2)

Giselle reached her home at 10:30. She stopped in between her ride to get some desserts for Lia. When she reached her apartment, it was locked and she rang the doorbell. There was no response for a moment but then she heard little footsteps approaching towards the door.

”Who is it?” Lia shouted in her sweet voice.

”It's the Pizza delivery Mam” Giselle lowered her voice to mimic a guy.

”I'm your child. It doesn't work on me, mother Giselle.”

”It's the Pizza delivery Mam” Giselle is not giving up.

”I'm never opening the door,” Lia screamed and ran off to her room. Giselle had to give in cuz the time isn't perfect for playing such games.

”Alright. Alright. Lia, please open the door. It's your mother.”

”Come back, Lia. Open the door.”

There was no response until now. Giselle knew that she has a bribe to get her daughter open the door.

”I bought pastries from one of the best bakeries in the town. You can have it if you open the door immediately. Plus, it's a new type of dessert and..... as far as I see it is melting now. So….”

Before she could finish, Lia came back running and opened the door. She welcomed her mother with a sweet warm smile. She then immediately took the dessert from her mom and opened them eagerly. They were fresh cakes with different flavors such as blueberry, chocolate, strawberry, mango, and pineapple. Seeing them was like being in heaven for Lia. She quickly took the mango flavored cake, her favorite flavor. It was soft and spongy. The cream was too perfect and soft. She took a bite and felt dizzy from the flavor and softness. The fragrance filled their home.

”Only one for now,” Giselle ordered.

”mmnot mbay” Lia answered with her mouthful of dessert.

Giselle had to snatch away the dessert box from Lia to avoid any tantrum.

”You can have them tomorrow. Now, go brush your teeth after eating and sleep.”
