Allen nodded, feeling a bit more confident. "That sounds perfect. Any other recommendations?"

"Let's see," the staff member said, moving gracefully along the display case. "If you're unsure about her preferences, perhaps a variety would be best. We have a new line of éclairs that are getting a lot of attention. They come in classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla, but also more unique ones like passion fruit and matcha."

Allen's gaze followed her hand as she pointed to the elegant éclairs. "Those look amazing. I think a variety would be a good idea. "

"We also have a berry tart that's quite popular. It's a mix of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on a creamy custard base, all on a buttery crust. It's both beautiful and delicious," the staff member suggested.

Allen smiled, feeling more reassured. "That sounds perfect. I'll take a slice of pistachio rose cake, a few of the éclairs in different flavors, and a berry tart."

"Excellent choices," she said, already moving to assemble his order. "Would you like anything else? Perhaps something for yourself?"

Allen shook his head. "No, I think this should do it."

The staff member nodded understandingly as she carefully placed the delicate pastries into a beautifully decorated box.

When the staff member returned with the neatly packed box, she handed it to him with a smile. "Here you go. I've added a little card in case you want to write a message."

Allen accepted the box. "Thank you," he said. He exited the pastry shop, the delicate box of sweets in hand, and headed towards his motorcycle. He secured the box carefully in his bag and mounted his bike. The ride back home was a blur of thoughts and anticipation.

He approached the mansion. The grand gates opened smoothly, welcoming him back. He rode through, the sprawling grounds a comforting sight, and headed straight for the garage. He parked his motorcycle in its usual spot, the engine's rumble dying down to a gentle purr before it ceased entirely.

Walking through the side entrance, he made his way into the mansion with the box of pastries in hand. His initial plan was to find Kai and have him deliver the peace offering to Emma and Azura. That way, he could avoid their likely disapproving gazes and sharp words. But fate had other plans.

Once he passed by the living room, his steps faltered. There, seated gracefully and sipping tea, were Emma and Azura. The atmosphere in the room was palpable. It was clear they had been waiting for him. Their posture was poised, but the sharpness in their eyes betrayed their otherwise calm demeanor.

Emma was the first to acknowledge him. She placed her teacup on the table with a soft click. Her gaze locked onto him, a mixture of arrogance and displeasure evident in her expression. She looked every bit like the princess of a kingdom in the middle of nowhere, surveying a commoner who had dared to breach her royal decree.

"You are home, brother," she said, her voice edged with a coldness that almost made Allen cringe. He managed to hold it in, but it was a close call.

Azura, sitting beside her, glanced up as well, her expression more subdued but equally expectant. She didn't say anything, but the message was clear. They were waiting for an explanation.

Allen glanced at Kai, who was standing discreetly near Emma and Azura. Despite his professional posture, Kai's expression betrayed his discomfort. He clearly felt out of place in the charged atmosphere. Emma had her own butler, so Kai's presence here was unusual. Their eyes met, and in that brief exchange, a silent conversation took place.

Allen's frown deepened as he subtly asked Kai what was happening. What were Emma and Azura doing here, waiting for him with such intensity?

Kai's response was equally subtle. He glanced down, his hand moving as if he were holding an invisible phone and typing a message. The gesture was so slight that Emma and Azura didn't notice, but Allen understood immediately. They were displeased because they had found out about his morning routine – the gym and then Larissa's place.

Allen's frown grew more pronounced. He tilted his head slightly, silently asking Kai why this was an issue. Emma knew about his relationship with Larissa, so why were they upset now?

Kai's response was a small shrug, indicating that he didn't know the full details either.

Emma, noticing the brief but silent exchange between Allen and Kai, narrowed her eyes slightly. "So, you decided to skip breakfast with the family for the gym and a visit to Larissa?" she asked, her voice cool and controlled.

Allen cleared his throat, trying to maintain his composure. "I just thought I'd get an early workout in and then visit Larissa. I saw a nice pastry shop on the way home and brought these pastries for both of you. I hope you guys enjoy it," he said, offering up the box.

Emma glanced at the box in Allen's hand, her eyes narrowing slightly. A smirk tugged at the corners of her mouth, her expression filled with a blend of arrogance and amusement. "Do you think that's enough to bribe us?" she asked, her voice cold and imperious. The haughty tone almost made Allen laugh; it seemed so out of place for her.

Allen couldn't help but smirk back. "If you don't want it, then I'll just eat it myself in my room," he said casually, lifting the box slightly as if to emphasize his point.

For a moment, Emma's face was a picture of panic. The shift in her demeanor was almost comical. She quickly composed herself, but the initial reaction was telling. "I never said I didn't want it," she added hastily, her tone a mix of irritation and eagerness. She extended her hand toward him, her lips forming a slight pout. Allen found it both amusing and endearing.

Azura, sitting beside Emma, watched the exchange with a faint smile, her eyes betraying a hint of amusement. She remained silent, letting Emma handle the situation.
