I said, “Talready had breakfast back at the campus. By the way, Sarah, please hist call me files: We agreed on that last time. Now, I’d like to find a quiet spot to plactier my late ”
I had left my late here at the Foster residence as it felt much safer than keeping it on campus,
Sarah nodded with a simile. “The soundproof plano room Mr. Jackman used to use will be perfect. Let me take you there.”
Then, she quickly led me to a room on the second floor. “Judes, Flicheck if Mrs. Foster Senior is ready for breakfast. She’ll be so happy to know you prepared the meal”
I nodded as Sarah left and then took a moment to examine the room. This was the plan om Gideon had once used
Against the northwall stood an exquisite plano, I had always thought Gideon was bom to be a shrewd businessman, but this hinted at another side to him. Since he was likely downstairs having brealdast with Mrs. FosterSenior, I picked up my lute and began to play, poing over the ballad I had practiced the night before. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. I set the lute down and walked to open it
“Jules! Sarah exclaimed excitedly. “Mrs Foster Senior insists on seeing you!”
She added, “She said your cooking is incredible! She tried a small portion of the spaghetti, and Mr. Jackman ended up eating most of it. She wants him to meet you!” 1 froze for a moment, surprised by how quickly this meeting with Gideon had come about. Still, as long as it happened naturally, I was fine with it. “Alright, Surah. I’ll come down with you,” I said.
However, when we arrived in the dining room, Gideon was nowhere to be seen. Only Mrs. Foster Senior was there, nibbling on a small piece of cake. She looked lively today, which Lassumed was because Gideon had visited.
“I never expected you to be such a wonderful cook, Jules!” Mrs. Foster Senior said, beckoning me over. I walked to her side and sat down politely. “I’m glad you like it,” I replied sincerely.
She sighed lightly. “I wanted to introduce you to my beloved grandson. He rarely praises anyone’s cooling, but he loved your spaghetti and ate a lot of it Unfortunately, he had to leave for an ungeid matter at work
She continued, “Jules, I tried the spaghetti too. It was sweet, tangy, and absolutely delightful -so appetizing”
I smiled warmly. “I’m happy to hear that.”
After breakfast, Esang the ballad I had been practicing for Mrs. Foster Senior. Not even two hours had pass
passed before she waved for me to stop. Mrs. Foster Senior gently took my land and patted it affectionately, her face full of kindness. She said, “That’s enough for today. “Don’t overwork yourself. Go home early and test or better yet, spend some time with your friends. It’s ilie weekend, after all!TM
I nodded and thanked her before Kevin drove me away from the Foster residence, Over the years, plenty of people must have tried to get close to Mrs. Poster Senior because of het connection to Gldeut. Yet she treated tte with such trust and wannth, which was unexpected given her position.
As Resin drove, be besitated for a moment before speaking softly, “Jules, if you ever have any troubles, you can talk to me. When I accompanied you to retrieve your lute, I saw Har way your relatives treated you. Il was awful,
I’ve already told Mrs Fuster Senior about it. I don’t have much power, but she’s gore than capable of standing up for you,” he added earnestly
Heli geminely grateful and responded, “Thank you, Kevin, but l’an time now, P’in doing really well.”
In truth, every step I was taking now was calculated to deal with the jackman family. Still, I could not afford to gamble too much. Afterall, Mrs Fost Senilor was still tammel’s grandmother. Eveut she did not care for the Jakonan family, she would always care for Gideon.
