“Fanny has another spot?” After Angela spoke, she cautiously asked Sebastian, “Can I use the refrigerator for storing some finished herbal soups and medicinal herbs? Some soups can stay fresh in the fridge for a few days, and ! can warm them up when needed.”
In fact, Angela had a bit of selfishness. She felt it would be a waste to only put a small amount of things in such a large refrigerator.
Now, she really needed the refrigerator to store her items.
Sebastian smiled warmly and agreed. “Feel free to use it. Master Jonathan rarely uses the refrigerator. I only found out about the desserts made by Carrie when I asked if he wanted any.”
“That’s fantastic!” She was thrilled to receive a positive response.
Yay, she had a double–door refrigerator to use. It made even the cake in her hands taste even more delicious.
Shortly after the two of them had fish soup, Sebastian praised Angela’s cooking skills repeatedly. After finishing the meal, he drove her to school.
As the speech competition drew near, Angela, upon entering the school gate, spotted the competition posters on the bulletin board, along with the list of participating students.
She initially planned to glance at the list and slip away, but seeing the names caught her off guard.
This speech competition was a city–level event, with a maximum of two slots for each school. Unfortunately, Riverdon University only had one.
In her previous life, it was Fanny who had taken the sole slot from her.
Now, on the list, alongside Jessica’s name, there was also Fanny’s.
What’s happening? Didn’t I already give the slot to Jess? she wondered.
With a class approaching, Angela decided to go to the classroom and inquire from Jessica. Just as she reached the classroom door, she ran into Zacharias, whom she hadn’t seen for several days.
Due to ongoing health issues, he relied on medication, which made his skin fairer than the average man. Despite his tall, slender build, he radiated a refined and scholarly presence.
Zacharias was already a junior in the Design Department, which was separated from the Foreign Language Department’s teaching building by almost half of the campus. However, for Fanny’s sake, he often made the trip to their classroom doorway.
Angela lowered her head and noticed him holding a transparent box of small cakes. There were four in a box, each with different flavors.
In the past, he used to come across half the school to bring desserts to Fanny frequently, despite his not- so–good health. Doctors had repeatedly advised him not to exert himself excessively.

Even though each box contained several cakes, none were ever reserved for Angela. Most ended up being enjoyed by Fanny and her circle of friends.
In Angela’s naivety, despite the disappointment, she was always concerned about him getting tired from the long journey. Every time, she would eagerly be the first to greet him.
“Zacharias, why did you come all this way again? Aren’t you tired?”
“Where’s Fanny?
“Il call her for you…
He arrived, she inquired, and she would then fetch Fanny. The three of them formed a dynamic trio, though this was merely Angela’s hopeful perspective.
“Blind? Can’t you see my face?” She snapped back, her patience wearing thin. As she turned around, she noticed that his lips were somewhat pale, and there was a bit of sweat on his forehead.
Despite his frailty, the medicine and nourishing meals she prepared had gradually improved his health in recent years. At least he didn’t look as feeble as before when walking halfway across the school.
Originally, he had intended to stop her and ask for her help in delivering the cake to Fanny. Unexpectedly. she spoke so harshly that his face instantly turned sour. He took a breath and said, “Angela, I’ve known for a long time that your previous compliance was just an act. This is your true nature.”
“Sure, believe what you want. Just move aside quickly. An obedient dog doesn’t block the way. She couldn’t be bothered with further discussion. She pushed him aside and entered the classroom.
Caught off guard by the force, Zacharias tilted his body. The cake box in his hand collided with the wall, causing the delicately crafted cake inside to crumble into a messy heap.
“Angela!” He saw the ruined cake and felt both distressed and angry. His distress was for the cake, and his anger was directed at her.
“Zacharias!” Fanny had just arrived at the classroom door and witnessed him being pushed. She hurriedly ran forward. “Are you hurt?”
“Fanny, you’re here…” He shook his head, guilt evident on his face. “I’m fine, but the cake is ruined. I can’t give you a beautiful cake now. I’ll buy you another one later.”
