Chapter 57:What to bring tomorrow?

After arriving at his house, Adryan put everything he bought on the table, all this should be at least 14 kilos of food and it cost 2 pounds.

"This is more than the weekly food expense of a middle-class family..."

He still remembered the looks he received when he bought all this and the ones he received when he was on his way to his home.

Sighing, Adryan put away the vegetables, milk, and meat, as he put all this away he couldn't help but think about the dinner he would have tomorrow with Robert.

That should be considered a date, right?

He had never had a date with a girl in his past life not to mention with a man, he didn't consider himself gay or anything like that, but this may be a good idea to get to know the blond better.

Robert was a nice person and had a slight air about him that he couldn't deny he was attracted to and since he wanted to have a better relationship with him, he couldn't come to dinner empty-handed, so he had to think about what to bring.

While eating an apple to lighten his taste a bit, he tried to think of a gift.

Robert was someone who was a big fan of Fors's books but he didn't know if she had written another one at this point.

Considering the future, then she would only write more when she arrived at the Tarot Club.

He had to scrap the idea of ​​a signed copy because the relationship between her and him at this point was bad, even a little hostile...

Sighing, the redhead finished eating his apple and threw the core of it into the trash can.

When he grabbed the second apple to eat an idea hit his head and he put the apple away again.

Moving down the aisle, the redhead grabbed his mid-height silk hat as he headed out to a pastry shop.

Arriving at one that wasn't too far from the market area, Adryan entered and a bell rang as he opened the door.

A slightly older lady came out from behind the counter, she had warm air around her, she was wearing glasses, and her white hair was well groomed.

If one were to compare her to someone it would be Muriel from the cartoon Courage.

"What would you like sweetheart?"

"Good afternoon ma'am, I was wondering if you made orders since I would like to order a cake for tomorrow"

The redhead gave a small smile to the lady as he took off his hat and placed it on his chest as his voice was soft.

"Yes we do it, sweetheart, you can tell me what you would like, we also have a list of what we offer if you are unsure"

When she said that she handed him a pamphlet from under the counter and he grabbed it.

There were plenty of options from chocolate cakes to vanilla, strawberry, cheesecake, and lemon pies.

While he was reading this pamphlet calmly and trying to think about what would be the best option to order, the store bell rang again.

The redhead couldn't care less who had entered so he just kept reading but a sweet woman's perfume reached his sensitive nose.

Turning his gaze to the entrance, he could see a woman with an exotic air and a flirtatious look with beautiful black hair that fell down her back and green eyes.

"Welcome back Selena, same as always Dear?"

"Please granny Jenny along with the usual cookies"

The one called Selena just gave him a small look before returning her gaze to Jenny as she appeared to grab a lemon pie and place it in a pink box while grabbing a small bag decorated with a ribbon bench and handing it to her.

"My dear, how is the family?"

"The same as always, granny, it's just that my sister continues with her usual strange hobbies"

They continued chatting while ignoring the redhead who was standing to one side, somewhat frozen with a slightly slack mouth.

"It would be 1 soli and 2 peni dear"

"Here you have granny Jenny" paying the call Selena first grabbed the bag with the white ribbon and opened it took out a cookie with white chocolate chips, put it in her mouth, and began to eat slowly.

After doing that she closed the bag and grabbed the pink box and started to head for the exit but seeing Adryan's goofy expression she giggled as she gave him a flirtatious wink and left the store.

Adryan continued to be somewhat dazed by the woman, but it wasn't because she was extremely beautiful, but because she seemed like the perfect copy of Yenefer from the Witcher game.

"Have you made up your mind yet sweetie?"

Jenny's voice took him out of his state and when he noticed that he was still looking at the door, he returned his gaze to the woman.

She had a slight smile at the same time with a raised eyebrow along with an amused look.

Adryan didn't care much about that and let out a small laugh as he went back to the counter.

"I would like an apple pie, and I will come to pick it up tomorrow at 5:30 p.m."

"Of course sweetheart that would be 1 soli with 3 penies and if you feel like something sweet you can always come with Grandma Jenny"

Nodding at Grandma Jenny, Adryan paid and received the receipt to pick up his order and left the bakery.

The flesh-and-blood appearance of such a familiar video game character had still left an impact on him, although the red pedicure she had gave it a special touch.

Shaking his head, the redhead simply walked calmly towards his house while whistling the theme of Geralt of Rivia....
