The elderly lady suddenly smiled at her. "This is our special recipe. Everyone who is regular here just comes for the cookies and this is why they get over soon. Once the new batch is ready, I will ask them to get them for your girl. She just came here allured by the aroma. How could we wrong her?"
Esmeralda, who had been an emotional mess today, smiled at the lady with teary eyes. "Thank you so much. I don't know how to thank you enough."
Seeing the tears shining in the girl's eyes, the elderly lady did not know how to respond but she offered a warm smile and said that she would soon come with cookies and until then she sent them coffee.
"Do you think the coffee tastes extremely good now?" Esmeralda questioned her.
"Really?" Ethan said, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Earlier, everything I had tasted bitter, "Esmeralda said with the wrong expression.
"It was not the food that was bitter but the emotions you were feeling, "Ethan answered.
