Five minutes after the food was served, everyone understood why this was Jules's favourite restaurant. Even though the fare was simple noodles and dumplings, it had a wholesome, homely aroma and flavour that made one very satisfied when they ate.
"This is really good," Mana said appreciatively. "We must come here more often!"
Jules laughed and ruffled her hair. "You're such a foodie," he said fondly.
King Jaren had a bittersweet smile on his face. "It is so wonderful that my little Mana is able to eat well like this now…" he muttered.
Jules and Raven looked at him enquiringly.
"I was very sickly before," Mana said mildly.
King Jaren's eyes misted over. "Yes…she used to be so pale and thin and could barely eat anything…"
Mana patted his arm to comfort him. "But I'm all right now, Papa, thanks to Raven, and we even found Big Brother! I have a feeling that things will be really good from now on!"
