The weather and comfortable bed had conspired to rob Daphne of her early rising habits. She was later awakened by the enticing aroma of freshly baked pastries and the savory scent of breakfast wafting from the kitchen. As she slowly opened her eyes, she pulled back the curtains and noticed the sun had risen high in the sky. Rubbing the sleep from her face, she quickly got out of bed and made her way downstairs. "Good morning, sir," Daphne greeted hastily, her eyes widening as she collided with Allen in the kitchen. "I'm really sorry, sir. I don't usually sleep in this late. I don't know what happened today." She apologized profusely, feeling a bit flustered. Allen's smile softened as he turned around, his features captivating her attention. He wore a sleeveless shirt, showcasing his toned muscles, and an apron hung around his waist, adding a touch of rugged charm to his appearance. With one hand expertly holding the pan and the other wielding a spoon, he flipped the eggs with the

"Rise and shine, everybody!" Nancy's voice boomed down the hallway, followed by the sound of curtains opening and morning light spilling into each room. Groans and grumbles echoed from the other rooms. When Nancy reached Daphne's room, she yanked open the curtains, letting sunlight flood in. "Come on, Daphne, get up! You're going to be late!" Daphne buried her face in the pillow, mumbling incoherently. Nancy burst into Fiona's room, chirping, "Rise and shine, young lady!" Fiona's voice was husky with sleep as she replied, "I was so sure it was you making all that noise and disturbing my sleep. I was so sure it was you and couldn't have been anybody else. Get out of my room Nancy" She dragged her duvet over her face, trying to block out the light and continue sleeping. Nancy chuckled and swiftly pulled the duvet off Fiona's body, darting out of the room. Fiona groggily got out of bed and chased after her, grumbling under her breath. Both of them thundered downstairs, prompting the o

As Aiden arrived at the house, the girls' eyes widened with excitement. They squealed and ran to him, hugging him tightly. Aiden laughed and hugged them back, happy to see them so enthusiastic. Sophia smiled and welcomed Aiden warmly. "Good morning, Aiden. Come on in. Please, join us for breakfast?" Aiden nodded, taking a seat at the table. Sophia bustled around, serving him a plate of pancakes and fresh fruit. The girls chattered excitedly, asking Aiden about the gown fitting and what they could expect. After breakfast, Aiden thanked Sophia and the family, then took a seat in the living room while the girls got ready. Sophia and the others scurried around, gathering their things and preparing for the outing. As they finished up, Sophia turned to Aiden and smiled. "We're all set. Let's get going." Aiden stood up, his eyes locking onto Sophia's. "Sounds good. I'll get the car." With that, they were off, ready to take on the day and find the perfect gowns for the girls. As

Allen sat behind his desk, his expression unreadable. Daphne stood before him, a hint of apprehension in her voice. "Am I in trouble, sir?" she asked. Allen didn't respond. Instead, he turned his computer screen towards Daphne, gesturing for her to take a seat. His silence spoke volumes, and Daphne's unease grew as she lowered herself into the chair. Daphne sat in front of Allen's desk, her eyes scanning the cake designs on the screen. Allen stood up from his seat, his movements fluid and confident. He walked around the desk and stood behind Daphne, leaning forward slightly. "Let's take a closer look," he said, his voice low and professional. His proximity to Daphne was subtle, yet unmistakable. He was her boss, and he was asserting his authority in a gentle, yet firm manner. As they leaned in together, their heads bent over the screen, Daphne felt a flutter in her chest. She tried to focus on the cake designs, but she couldn't help being aware of Allen's presence behind her

The following morning, Sophia woke up early and started her day by cleaning and preparing food. She was extremely excited because it was her dress fitting day, and the wedding was just around the corner. Aiden, his mother, and grandmother were scheduled to pick her up, and she didn't want to keep them waiting. While the rest of the family were still in bed, Sophia quietly and quickly cleaned the house and made breakfast, careful not to wake her sisters and the kids. With the kids already on holiday, Sophia packed lunch and baked some cookies for Daphne before heading back to her room to shower and get ready. Meanwhile, the rest of the family began to stir, waking up one by one. Thanks to Sophia's early start, Daphne had a relatively stress-free morning. After waking up, she had a leisurely bath and got ready for work. Just as she was about to leave, she popped in to check on Sophia. The door was slightly ajar, allowing Daphne to see Sophia sitting on her bed, staring at her

The next morning, the sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the room. Aiden and Sophia, still snuggled on the couch, slowly stirred. Sophia shifted slightly, adjusting her position on Aiden's shoulder. As they rubbed the sleep from their eyes, they were suddenly met with five pairs of curious eyes. The girls and Sophia's sisters stood before them, their faces filled with amusement. The sleep cleared from Aiden and Sophia's eyes in an instant, replaced by surprise and a touch of embarrassment. "Should we get you a soft pillow?" Ava asked, her voice laced with sarcasm. "You look like you could use a little more sleep, Mummy. Or perhaps a nice breakfast in bed... or on the couch, since that's where you both practically slept?" Aiden and Sophia bowed their heads, exchanging a sheepish glance from the corner of their eyes. They struggled to hide their amused expressions as they faced the mock scolding from their two little daughters, Mia and Ava, who were barely five and six yea
