Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Chapter 326 – Emotional damage

Jasmine had always danced to the tune of Voren’s mother. For as long as he could remember, she’d followed every instruction without question, defending the woman whenever necessary and standing by her side no matter how unreasonable things got.

Because of that loyalty, Voren often found it hard to be too harsh with her. After all, Jasmine had saved his mother’s life, and that was a debt he couldn’t easily forget.

Still, there were limits. The moment anything involved Seraphine, everything changed.

She was the only woman he’d ever truly loved, and he wasn’t about to let anyone create problems or distractions in their relationship. Not anymore. He’d already lost too much time, and he refused to lose any more.

That’s why he’d fully expected Jasmine to keep causing trouble. Instead, what he saw left him momentarily stunned.

His eyebrows rose as he watched her hauling several shopping bags and a big pile of new clothes toward her room with the help of a few maids.

For a second, he just stood there staring. Interesting. Had she finally gotten the message? Or was she planning something else? With Jasmine, it was always hard to tell.

Voren narrowed his eyes slightly. Whatever the reason, he’d be keeping a close eye on her, just in case.

The rich aroma of pancakes suddenly filled the kitchen, pulling everyone’s attention away from the hallway. Esperanza’s eyes lit up right away. "That smells so good," she said, the pure excitement in her voice warming Seraphine’s heart.

A smile spread across Seraphine’s face as she carefully transferred the golden, fluffy pancakes onto a serving plate, setting them beside the freshly sliced fruit.

"I hope they taste as good as they look," she said, placing everything on the kitchen island before glancing at the Esperanza. "Food’s ready."

The words had barely left her mouth before Esperanza slipped right out of Corvine’s arms.

The little girl hurried over to the island, climbed onto a chair, and immediately started reaching for the food and eating without any fuss. No complaints, no distractions, no bargaining, and no need for anyone to convince her. She just ate.

Voren stared openly. "This is so unlike her." Usually getting Esperanza to eat took a whole lot of patience, negotiations, and sometimes outright begging.

Today she was acting like a completely different kid.

Seraphine finally burst out laughing because the sight was just too adorable.

She pulled out a few more chairs and motioned for everyone to sit down. Soon the kitchen filled with the warm sounds of breakfast.

The toast Voren and Corvine had prepared sat alongside scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, coffee, and Seraphine’s pancakes. Everyone dug in.

After taking a bite, Seraphine’s eyes widened a little. She looked over at Voren in genuine surprise. "This is actually really good." A smile tugged at her lips. "I’m honestly shocked this is your first-time cooking."

The compliment instantly brightened his whole mood. Coming from Seraphine, those words meant more than he wanted to admit.
