Gianna had extended an invitation to Anastasia’s family for the grand opening of her new coffee shop.
Herman was tied up with work, so he asked Dailey to apany Anastasia and Salma. Their
daughter, Pattie, had school that day. Naturally, they wouldn’t ask her to take a day off and hold her
back from her studies.

“Forever Cafe.” Anastasia read the words on the sign aloud, chuckling.
Anastasia’s belly was visiblyrger, even beneath her loose clothing. Gianna nced at Anastasia’s

“He’s tied up at work,” Anastasia replied, pulling out a gift. “Gianna, I wish you booming business and
abundant wealth.”
“You’re being too formal,” Gianna teased, pulling Anastasia inside. “Come on, let’s go in.”
Anastasia had prepared a gift and bought eight flower baskets. Gianna had a fair number of friends,
with more and more flower baskets arriving one after another.

With the man of the house incapacitated, men outside were certainly eyeing their chances to woo
Gianna. Winning her over would mean a double victory of wealth and beauty.
Anastasia and Salma settled inside the shop while Gianna went out to greet her friends. Soon, the
entrance of the coffee shop was overflowing with flower baskets.
Gianna nced at the name of the coffee shop. It wasn’t chosen by a fortune teller at all, but by her.
Forever Cafe. In other words, she was tenaciously devoted to Herman. She could only hide this love
she had for Herman deep within her heart, but she was not willing topletely let go. So, she hid this
love in the name of her shop.
Unrequited love was always a careful bnce between not wanting to reveal yourself yet desiring to be
known.
Salma sat in the coffee shop, observing Gianna. Turning to Anastasia, she said, “Gianna’s really
capable, managing such arge shop all by herself. Ever since Joey became paralyzed, she’s be
even more beautiful. And that pink dress she’s wearing, it’s gorgeous.”

Salme was whisked away by Cynthia for some shopping. After greeting her customers, Gianna made a
fresh juice and brought it over to Anastasia.
Gianna smiled, “What do you think of my cafe?”
“It’s wonderful” Anastasiaplimented. “I can see you’ve put a lot of effort into it.”
Gianna replied with a hidden meaning. “It’s my Forever Cafe. I have to do my best.”
