Chapter 710: A Warm Family Dinner

Chapter 710: A Warm Family Dinner



Kitchen, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City

Theo looked at Aurora's message on his phone screen that said she was leaving the school before answering her with another message. Done with that, he started to cook dinner once again.

He knew that Aurora would be extremely tired and hungry when she arrived home, which was why he began cooking dinner only when he predicted she would be nearing home. When he was about to finish cooking, Aurora's message came through, confirming his prediction. As a good big brother, Theo knew how exhausted Aurora must be after organizing and managing her school's festival for the past few weeks. He decided on a comforting meal-a hearty chicken soup, rich with vegetables and herbs, to soothe and nourish her body.

Just as expected, a few minutes later, Sylph, his house AI butler, announced that Aurora had arrived with her driver. Theo moved to the entrance of the kitchen to greet her.

Aurora stepped into the kitchen, her shoulders slumped but her face brightening when she caught the aroma of the soup. "Hey, Theo," she greeted, her voice tinged with fatigue.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hey, sis," Theo responded with a smile, gesturing to the dining table, "I made something warm for you. Go wash up, and it'll be ready when you're done."

Aurora nodded gratefully, and after a quick wash in the nearby restroom, she returned to the kitchen, taking a seat at the table. Theo ladled the steaming soup into bowls, placing one in front of her and the other in his own place.

The two siblings sat down, and for a moment, there was only the sound of spoons clinking against bowls as they both enjoyed the first few bites of the meal. The warmth of the soup seemed to work its magic on Aurora, her tense shoulders relaxing slightly.

"This is exactly what I needed," Aurora said, sighing with contentment after a few more spoonfuls. "You always know how to make things better, Theo."

"That's what big brothers are for," Theo replied with a chuckle. "How was the wrap-up today? You must have had a ton of things to take care of after the festival."

Aurora leaned back in her chair, swirling the spoon in her bowl thoughtfully. "It was exhausting, honestly. But we got everything done. The festival was definitely a success, we managed to earn a lot of money and prestige for the student council, and everyone seemed to have a good time. I just didn't expect there to be so much work left afterward."

Theo nodded, understanding. "Yeah, it's always like that with big events. The work doesn't stop just because the main event is over. I'm really proud of you, though. You did an amazing job, Aurora."

She smiled, the praise from her brother lifting her spirits. "Thanks, big brother. It means a lot coming from you. I couldn't have done it without the girls, though. Everyone really pulled their weight and worked non-stop for the past few weeks, especially in the last few days." As they continued eating, the conversation flowed naturally from topic to topic, touching on the festival, their friends, and what lay ahead in their lives. Theo asked about specific moments during the festival, and Aurora recounted the highlights, laughing at some of the more amusing incidents that had taken place.

"Do you remember the first school festival we went to together?" Aurora asked, her eyes glinting with nostalgia.

Aurora smiled, knowing how much music meant to her brother. "I'm sure it'll be a success, Theo. You have the vision and the drive to make it happen."

They continued talking about Theo's plans for a while, Aurora offering her insights and support. The conversation eventually drifted to lighter topics, from their favorite shows to the latest gossip around the city.

As they finished their meal, Aurora stretched her arms above her head, letting out a satisfied sigh. "That was perfect, Theo. I feel so much better now."

"I'm glad," Theo said, gathering the empty bowls and taking them to the sink. "You've

worked hard, Aurora. You deserve a good rest."

She nodded, standing up and moving toward the door. "I think I'll take a shower and then

head to bed. I can't wait to just lie down and relax."

"Good idea," Theo agreed. "You've earned it. Sleep well, Aurora."

"Thanks, Theo," she said, pausing at the door to look back at him. "And thanks for dinner. You always know how to make me feel better."

Theo smiled warmly. "Anytime, sis. Now go get some rest. We'll talk more tomorrow. If you need me I'll be at the sound studio rehearsing,"

Aurora nodded, giving him one last grateful smile before heading upstairs to her room.

Theo watched her go, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction. He was proud of his sister, proud of the person she had become. As he left the cleaning up the kitchen for Sylph, he headed for his in-house sound studio as he reflected on their conversation, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would always have each other to rely on.

That night Theo only turned off the lights and made his way to his own room late at night

after spending hours rehearsing in his sound studio. The day had been long, but it had ended on a perfect note—a simple dinner with his sister, filled with warmth, laughter, music, and

tranquility.
