The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1089

"I already told you my granddaughter is too young. You haven't given up, have you?"

"No matter how perfect your grandson is, my granddaughter isn't interested, so stop daydreaming."

Professor Dalton smiled easily. "We're just having breakfast together. What kind of ulterior motive could I possibly have?"

"Mr. James, if you're too broke to treat, I'll pay for it."

"Actually, since this is my first time meeting your granddaughter, treating her to breakfast is the least I can do."

Since Professor Dalton put it that way, how could Padgett refuse?

It was just a cheap breakfast, anyway.

"Fine, let's eat. It's not like we're afraid of you."

With Padgett's agreement, Professor Dalton tagged along, and the three of them sat down for breakfast.

They ordered a large bowl of lamb stew, personal bowls of dumpling soup, and a plate of Wild Herb Wraps.

"These Wild Herb Wraps taste incredibly fresh. Where do you get the herbs, boss?"

Padgett felt a wave of nostalgia for the rougher days of his youth.

Back when he was banished to the fields for labor, he had eaten plenty of this stuff.

Hardly anyone could replicate that authentic, rustic flavor nowadays.

"Delicious, right? My wife went out to the countryside to pick these herbs herself."

"The ones closer to town are too tough, so she specifically picked the most tender ones."

"Everyone who tries my herb wraps loves them."

The owner looked incredibly proud of himself.

He had been running this breakfast joint for decades, and no one had ever complained about his food.

"I only use genuine, top-quality ingredients."

"Even this lamb stew—I pre-ordered it to make sure the lamb was freshly butchered this morning."

Padgett gave the owner a thumbs-up. "No wonder I always say your lamb soup is the best. And these herb wraps are perfectly fresh, too."

"It's only available today, though. I didn't have any in stock for the past two days."

The owner gave a good-natured laugh. "I couldn't offer them the last two days because I didn't have time to head down to the countryside."
