Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 67

Sofia’s POV

I picked up the blueberry syrup and drizzled a huge amount over the whole waffles, being mesmerized by the way the syrup slid over each waffle, giving each waffle that was on the top of the whole waffles, different kinds of designs each.

I suddenly stopped drizzling out the syrup and glanced up at Matilda, feeling a little embarrassed at being watched having fun from doing something as childish as this, and also because I was starting to feel like I had squeezed out way too much syrup than she’d approve of.

Matilda had a soft smile playing across her lips, the soft look that had been in her eyes after she had taken me in her arms when I had started crying unexpectedly— was back in her eyes this time as she stared at me.

“Don’t mind me, take all the syrup you want. There’s still a tons of cartons of syrup which we’re yet to open, remember?” She said in encouragement and a smile bloomed out on my cheeks.

“Really?” I asked her and she nodded her head immediately, gesturing back to the plate of waffles before me and I glanced down at my plate of food, syrup lining every piece of waffles there was on top of the plate and staining the sides of the plate in different patterns.

I picked up the syrup bottle and squeezed it a little over my fork and once my form was wet with blueberry syrup, I forked up a piece of waffles and slowly inserted it into my mouth, the warm taste of syrup bursting out on my tongue and the soft, creamy waffle melting on my tongue almost immediately.

It tasted way better than I had imagined it would be and I forked up another piece of waffle, inserted it into my mouth instantly. The taste of blueberry syrup was just so exquisite I’ve always been a huge fan of the flavor ever since I was a kid.

We were not allowed to have too much syrup at home and the house help would only squeeze a little over our waffles each time we got to have it for breakfast.

My brother had disliked the blueberry flavor and had been completely in love with the strawberry’s flavor ever since he became smart and could pick between two more things.

I picked up the glass cup of water and stared at it for a few seconds before glancing up at Matilda who was still staring at me, a far away facial expression on her face and a tiny smile pulling at the corner of her lips.

“Can I drink some water now?” I asked Matilda who jolted a little as if she just woken up from a little sleep when she shouldn’t be sleeping.

“Oh, yeah. You can. You like your waffles, right?” She asked after giving me the ‘go ahead’ to get some water into my body system. My throat hadn’t been hurting all that much anymore but I was still going to make use of the candy like things for it, just to endure it vanish away completely.

“Yeah, I do.” I replied to her and she smiled brightly at me for a few seconds before turning around and walking towards the stove where something was currently boiling over one of the faces.

The waffles were honestly really nice, soft and fluffy. And to make everything better, my stomach hadn’t really hurt anymore after I had started putting food into my stomach. The fact that I had been thinking I wouldn’t have the appetite to eat right before the waffles got prepared was beyond me, because the waffles had been going down my throat without any hesitations, settling in my stomach without leaving any nauseous feeling behind in its wake.

“The waffles are really soft and fluffy and creamy, they’re really nice and I love them.” I said to her before staring down at the plate before me.

The plate wasn’t completely empty, but it wasn’t as heaped as it was when I had started eating. I had eaten way more than thought I’d be able to handle, which I was glad about. At least the hungry worms in my stomach were going to have more than enough food to munch on throughout the night. The tablets I was going to be making use of tonight were also going to meet enough food in my stomach.

“I see why it’s one of your favorite foods, you really love it.” Matilda started to say as she made her way towards the counter once again. I nodded once as I pushed the plate away from my front. “I really do. Thank you for making it for me tonight.” I said to her right before I picked up my cup of water and downed another sip of water, the intoxicating taste of the blueberry syrup still clinging strongly to my tongue and I ducked my lower lip into my mouth to lick off the drops of syrup that might have smeared over it while I was eating.

“Can you please help me check what the time says at the moment?” I said to Matilda just as she was placing my plate on the top of the sink. I’d have checked my phone on a normal day because my phone was always with me the moment after I got it… but today was the complete opposite of a normal day— not that the days after I got married have ever been a normal day, but at least they were better than today in a way.

“Sure, I’ll be back in a minute.” Matilda replied to me as she left for the sitting room only to return almost immediately.
