"Okay, Mom," Leo said at his mother's request.

While Devan who was already near the door, now slowly turned around and headed to the dining room.

Hotel X

Claire had just finished taking a shower. The woman joined Grandma and Dave who were having breakfast in the living room in that room.

"Come here, baby. Come have breakfast with us," Grandma said to Claire with a smile on her lips.

"I want to get dressed first, Grandma. You guys have breakfast first. I'll catch up later," Claire said as she adjusted the towel that wrapped her hair which was still wet.

"Oh my god, I almost forgot. Take this, this is for you, honey," said Grandma then give a mini tote bag to Claire.

The woman came closer and grabbed the old woman's gift, "What is this, Grandma?"

"Open it. I already bought it especially for you before the engagement day. I always wanted to give it to you but I always forgot. So I'm just giving it to you now, honey," Grandma replied and then fed Dave a piece of strawberry jam toast.

Hearing that, Claire fell silent and opened the mini tote bag in her hand. It turned out to be a few pieces of the dress.

"Grandma...."

"That's for you, honey. Don't refuse my gift," said Grandma, interrupting her future daughter-in-law.

"I want you to wear that," she added.

Claire smiled, "Okay Grandma. Thank you for your gift," she said.

"Put it on, then breakfast. I wanted to take you two for a place," she added with a smile that never left her lips.

"Okay, Grandma. Then wait for me," said Claire again then turned away and entered another room.

"Grandma, my mother is beautiful, isn't she?" Dave said while chewing the food in his mouth.

"That's right, honey. Your mother is the most beautiful woman I've ever met," Grandma replied, then stroked the boy's head.

"Grandma, my dad called earlier," Dave said again.

"Is that true?"

"Yes, he will also visit here," replied Dave looking at the old woman in front of him.

"Your daddy said such a thing? When will he come?" Grandma asked again, her expression serious.

"I don't know, Grandma," Dave answered simply.

"Then let's take a shower and then get ready, dear. I will help you," said Grandma.

"But before that, finish your milk first," she added and grabbed a glass of milk on the table.

"Okay, Grandma," Dave replied, nodding.

After finishing breakfast, Grandma took Dave to the bathroom and helped the little boy.

While on the other hand, Claire was already wearing the dress that Grandma had given her. A peach knee-length silk dress, pearl embroidery lining the dress's neckline occasionally shimmers in the light.

It fits perfectly on her body. And Claira feels very comfortable when wearing it.

Claire styled her hair in such a way, with a light powder polish on her face making her look natural and simple.

Seeing her reflection in the mirror, Claire smiled. She feels very happy now. Getting attention like the one she was currently experiencing was something that had never crossed her mind.

After admiring herself enough, Claire walked out of the dressing room. Wanted to join Grandma and Son having breakfast.

"Where do they go?" Claire muttered when she found no one in the living room. Whereas, she had only left them for a few minutes and they had disappeared like this.

"Grandma? Dave? Where are you?" said Claire while looking for the whereabouts of the two figures.

Hearing a voice from inside the bathroom, Claire stopped her actions. The woman then sat on the living room sofa and enjoyed breakfast alone.

Suddenly her cellphone rang. Immediately Claire grabbed the flat-shaped object that she had previously placed on the table, looking at the name on the screen. She immediately answered.

"Hello, Uncle," said Claire.

"Good morning, Claire."

"Why did Uncle call me?"

"Have you had breakfast?" asked Aaron.

"If not, I want to take you out and have breakfast at the restaurant in front of this hotel," he added.

Claire smiled at her uncle's words.

"Didn't the hotel maid bring you breakfast, Uncle?" she asked.

"They brought me breakfast. But I have no appetite. I want another meal for breakfast," Aaron replied.

"Then you come here, Uncle. There's a lot of food here," said Claire.

"I don't want food the hotel maid brings, Claire."

"No need to leave the hotel, Uncle. Just come to my room, we have breakfast together, after all, we can't finish all this food," said Claire.

Hearing his nephew's request, Aaron sighed. It was hard for him to refuse if Claire said such a thing.

"Okay, I'll be there now," said Aaron.

"Dave's awake, right?" he asked before ending the call.

"Yes, Uncle. Right now, he's taking a shower," answered Claire.

"Okay," Aaron said then hung up the phone.

Just a few minutes later, Aaron came.

"Where did you get this much food, Claire? Did you go out shopping earlier?" Aaron asked and sat down on the sofa.

His eyes scanned all the food in front of him. There was Sausage Bread, Sausage McMuffin with egg and cheese, bacon, egg and cheese cracker, a glass of milk and some high-fiber fruit filled the table.

"You're wrong, Uncle. Not me, but Grandma. Grandma came to visit before I even woke up. She brought a lot of breakfast for Dave and me, she also brought some dresses for me, including the one I'm wearing right now," Claire replied.

"Is that true? she brought this much food?"

Claire just nodded.

"Then where is she?"

"She's in the bathroom with Dave," Claire replied.

"Then let's wait for them and have breakfast together," Aaron said again.

"They're done breakfast, Uncle," said Claire.

"Okay," Aaron replied.

The two of them then had breakfast together. There was no talking, silence, only the sound of spoons and forks clashing filled the room.

Until a few minutes passed, Dave and Grandma finally finished and came out of the bathroom.

"Grandpa," Dave called to Aaron.

Hearing her son's voice, Claire immediately got up from her position.

"Continue your breakfast, honey. Let me take care of Dave," Grandma said with a smile.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time, so let me take care of my grandson. Besides, you'll be back in Australia soon," she added.

Claire took a deep breath, "Okay, Grandma.. It's up to you," she said then sat back down and continued her breakfast.
