Chapter 62: Breakfast

Editor: Henyee Translations

"Yes, Dad. We slept a little late last night. It won’t happen again," Owen said to Jacob.

"What are you doing? Can’t we eat properly in the morning?" Sylvia saw Jacob and said.

"You’re the one who spoiled him into this state." Hearing his wife’s words, Jacob didn’t dare to say anything else and sighed helplessly.

"Dad, Mom, good morning. I’m sorry I woke up late," Anita said quickly at the dining room table while panting.

"Anita, why are you walking so quickly? We’re not in a hurry. Sit down and rest." Seeing that Anita was panting, Sylvia quickly stood up and pulled her.

Owen was also worried when he saw Anita panting. He quickly stood up, poured a glass of water, and placed it in front of her. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Drink some water. Calm down."

"Thank you," Anita said with a smile as she saw the glass of water in front of her.

Sylvia saw the intimacy between the two of them and was even more relieved, and the smile on her face began to deepen.

Jacob, who was beside her, saw this and smiled happily. "Okay, let’s eat."

A moment later, the butler brought the breakfast that had been prepared.

Breakfast was simple, but they took care of Anita’s preferences. There was not only milk, but also soy milk, fried eggs, butter with bread, and sandwiches.

"Anita, see if there’s anything you like for breakfast. Don’t be shy. Eat whatever you like," Sylvia said with a smile.

"Yes, Mom, don’t worry. I won’t be polite in my own home," Anita said with a smile as she picked up the milk in front of her and took a sip.

"Well, that’s good. Eat up," Jacob said.

The rule set by Jacob during breakfast was to not talk, because breakfast was very important. One had to eat well to have enough energy for the day.

So the dining table was very quiet. There was only the sound of everyone eating and the clinking of glasses.

When the milk was gone from Anita’s glass, Owen looked at her. He even pointed in the direction of his mouth.

Anita watched Owen’s actions and didn’t understand what he meant.

It was only when Owen brought his hand to her mouth that she realized there was milk on her lips.

So she quickly pursed her lips.

This action amused Owen and Sylvia. "Anita, you’re so cute. You’re like a child."

Anita felt that what she had just done was very rude. There was clearly a napkin on the table, but she reached out to wipe her mouth, but not one of them felt that she was rude. Instead, they felt that she was very cute. Her nervousness vanished instantly.

"By the way, Anita, are you guys going to work today?" Jacob asked as he put down the cutlery in front of him.

"Yes," Anita and Owen said together.

Sylvia and Jacob only had one thought when they heard the same words. They were indeed newlyweds. Even their thoughts were the same.

She had forced them to stay here for the night yesterday. She guessed that they wouldn’t stay here anymore today.

So the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Owen’s father said, "Okay, if you guys want to go to work, we won’t keep you. Hurry up and eat before going to work."

Owen said, "Well, let’s go later."

Anita chimed them. "Don’t worry, Mom. Owen and I will come back and eat with you when we’re not busy."

"Enough, I understand. Hurry up and get busy," Jacob said while waving his hand.

The two of them didn’t stay after breakfast. It was getting late.

Owen and Anita left the house. After they got into the car, the car drove quickly. Owen sent Anita to school first, and then hurried to the office.

Bruce arrived at the company early because he was afraid Owen would have instructions. Unexpectedly, he waited until almost 11: 00 before Owen arrived at the company.

For a moment, Bruce didn’t even know how to greet him. He had wanted to say to Owen, "Good morning, CEO."

But it was already noon, so Bruce could only say helplessly, "Hello, CEO." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Owen was almost at the office when he heard Blue say hello and came back.

When Bruce saw the CEO suddenly standing beside him, he subconsciously shivered.

He hadn’t done anything wrong recently, had he? Had he bought the wrong gift for Sylvia and Jacob yesterday?

Bruce waited fearfully for Owen to speak.
