Janie carefully took a bite and nodded fervently, "Wow, this is so good. It's so delicious. It's the best dim sum I've ever eaten." Doris was elated to hear that. Her eyes were sparkling with anticipation and excitement.

"This is all because of you, Ms. Doris," Emmeline smiled, 'Janie, allow me to introduce Ms. Doris to you. She is my pastry teacher." Janie extended her hand gracefully. She wore a demure smile on her face, "Ms. Doris, nice to meet you. My name is Janie Eastwood."

"Look at my hands," Doris spread her hands and smiled sheepishly, "It's covered in flour. I'll need to wash my hands first."

"Ms. Doris, you're really a beauty!" Janie retracted her hand and complimented, "Your smile makes you look even more dazzling than you already are. I have a feeling that I would like you." "Don't stand on ceremony," Doris felt awkward to hear those compliments, "Your compliments make me out to be something more than I actually am."

"How old are you, then?" Janie took another bite of the dim sum, "I feel like we are around the same age."

"No way, you look much younger," Doris dismissed her, "I am already twenty-six years old."

"I am twenty-five," Janie replied, "You're just a year older than me."

"Ms. Louise here looks the youngest among us," Doris commented, "You must be twenty-two right?"

"Hey, I am turning twenty-four in a few days!" Emmeline chuckled.

"Despite that, you're the mother of four children," Janie's brows cocked up, "Those four children are at least four years old!" It was as if she was bragging about her own children.

"You gave birth at a young age, huh?" Doris said, "You're really a youthful wife. No wonder your husband loves you so much."

"You're right about that," Janie replied on Emmeline's behalf, "She's the apple of Mr. Abel's eyes!"

Emmeline's face immediately blushed.

"She's not only Mr. Abel's favorite, you know. We fancy her as well."

Another voice suddenly injected.

The three women turned around in surprise.

They saw two young men who were dressed in light-colored suits. They appeared majestic, graceful, and otherworldly.

The three women's eyes lit up.

Emmeline immediately jumped, "Kenny, Bowie, you guys are finally here!"

The two men immediately grinned ear to ear. They spread out their arms.

"This is so great!"

Emmeline squealed while she threw herself in their embrace. She hugged Kenny Adelmar followed by Bowie Adelmar.

Only then Janie knew that Robert's stepchildren were visiting Emmeline.

She had seen these two before the last time she was on Adelmar Island. However, it was just a glimpse, so she had little impression of them.

"It was Ben who asked us to come," Kenny said, "He asked us to help Waylon to prepare for the hospital."

"I see," Emmeline's face was still red, "He's the owner of Imperial Palace nowadays."

Bowie launched into a fit of laughter, "We heard about that, alright."

"No wonder Waylon is on cloud nine of late," Kenny added, "It seems that he has a change of taste. He doesn't want to be the owner of the island anymore, but instead, he is the owner of the club." The siblings bantered merrily for a while before Emmeline went on to introduce Doris and Janie to them.

She introduced Doris first, "This is my pastry teacher, Ms. Doris."

Doris showed her hands which were still covered with flour to indicate that she could not shake their hands.

"Ms. Doris, this is my elder brothers, Kenny and Bowie."

"Good to see you."

Doris bowed lightly while she secretly thought, Are those from the Adelmar family all she knows? Why are the men who have something to do with Emmeline all from the Adelmar family? "Kenny, Bowie, this is Ms. Eastwood. You guys have met each other before, right?"

"Good to see you," Janie extended her hand warmly, "My name is Janie. We met on the island before."

Kenny and Bowie remembered her. They shook hands with her amicably.

"Let's have some coffee now!" Sam shouted from the stairs, "The coffee is ready!"

"Let's go downstairs!" Emmeline smiled, "I need to have a rest now. I can feel the fatigue now."

"You're tired?" Kenny immediately bent down, "Let me carry you on my back!"
