As they passed by the shop, Mindy suddenly stopped and mentioned that she wanted to have some castella. Miranda glanced around, noticing that the shop looked quite old–fashioned, with outdated décor and no promotional posters.
One had to walk all the way inside to see the menu of pastries listed on the signboard.
Surprisingly, they really did have castella! How did Mindy know just by standing at the entrance that the shop sold castella, especially since it turned out to be their specialty?
Mindy simply said, “I don’t know. I just felt like they would have it, and it seemed like it would taste good.”
Lionel chimed in, “Don’t you know your mom’s got a great nose for this stuff? She can tell whether food is good just by its smell,”
“Oh, I see…” Miranda didn’t think much of it and just accepted that her mom indeed had a sharp sense of smell.
Sam, standing nearby, said, “What a coincidence, I’m also here to buy castella.”
“For yourself?” Miranda asked.
He shook his head. “It’s for my grandma.”
“Your grandmother’s here too?” Miranda asked, scanning the room. “I don’t see her anywhere.”
“She got tired and is resting in the café. Later, I’d love to introduce my grandparents to your parents. Last time at the bookstore, my grandma wanted to check out the signing event, but her health didn’t allow it, so she had to head back home.”
“Sure,” Miranda replied with a smile.
Since they were both there to buy castella, Miranda, who was in the line ahead of Sam, decided to order two portions and handed one to him.
“How much do I owe you? Let me get you the money,” Sam offered.
“No need,” Miranda replied. “This is my treat for your grandmother; it’s not a big deal. Besides, last time you gave me water, and I didn’t pay you either, no?”
Sam just smiled at her response.
“Come on,” Miranda said, glancing back at him. Why was he just standing there
smiling?
As they entered the café, they immediately spotted the elderly couple sipping tea by the window. Miranda greeted them warmly.
Fiona’s tired expression instantly lit up when she saw Miranda.
“Grandma, Miranda even bought you some castella,” Sam said.
Fiona looked a bit surprised and turned to Sam. “Didn’t you say you were standing in line? Why did you let this young lady buy it instead?”
Before Sam could respond, Miranda jumped in, “I was already at the front of the line, so I just got it along

with my order.”
“Oh, I see… What a thoughtful child. Thank you so much,” Fiona said, reaching for Miranda’s hand and holding it in her own.
