Joanne was stunned by the lavish spread on the table.
There was soft, delicious white bread, perfectly fried bacon and eggs, and strawberry and blueberry jam.
"You…"
She pointed at Su Lu: "Are you planning for us to eat dirt next time?"
"No… I've just come into some money recently, enough to afford a lifestyle upgrade for us."
Su Lu emerged from the kitchen with a smile, removing his apron.
Every single Lire from the 500 he had was spent on materials. The money he was using now was the 'contributions' from the father and son duo, Claude and Rand, unbeknownst to others.
He could afford some semblance of comfort within these means.
"That money…"
Joanne suddenly fell silent, picked up a piece of white bread from the table, and looked at Su Lu with satisfaction, "Morphy… You've grown up."
"Yes, I plan to use the remaining Lire for my graduation project, maybe even go to university. You'll accompany me when that time comes."
