The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1625

In the heart of Greenhaven lay a gem known as The Gourmet Sanctuary. Famed for its exquisite cuisine, this place was notoriously challenging to book, owing to the enigmatic proprietor who operated solely on a first-come, first-served basis.

It mattered not who you were or what your background was.

If you could snag a reservation, kudos to you.

If not, better luck next time.

Thaddeus, a local who had been living abroad, had always been a big fan of this eatery. Upon his return to the city, he bypassed the glitzy five-star hotels and headed straight for The Gourmet Sanctuary.

However, due to his last-minute booking, he failed to secure a private booth and had to settle for a less crowded corner in the dining hall.

As his family gathered around the table, Thaddeus quickly ordered a few of their signature dishes that suited his palate, as well as the favorites of his wife and younger daughter. He then passed the menu to his eldest daughter, Sophia.

After taking the menu, Sophia first attended to her husband. "Marcus, what would you like to have?"

"I'm good with anything," replied Marcus. "Get something light for Tristan."

Sophia was slightly disappointed by the fact that Marcus was only concerned about what their son wanted. He was completely ignoring her, but she relented and ordered some lighter dishes for ‘Tristan.’
