Chapter 377 Siblings Bond Part 3

The siblings spent two hours in Le Bon Marché, filling their hands with bags from luxury boutiques. Tired from their shopping spree, they decided to take a break at a popular pâtissier inside the mall.

The place was known for its delicious pastries and had a cozy atmosphere. Francis picked a table in the corner, where they could sit and relax. Daphne, with a keen eye for sweets, quickly recommended the macarons. "They're supposed to be the best here," she said with a smile.

Aveline, looking for something to drink, chose jasmine tea from the menu, while Tristan decided to try the opera cake, attracted by its rich layers visible from the display.

As they placed their orders, the siblings began to unwind.

"Are you sure you can carry all that?" Francis asked Daphne, who was among the siblings who bought a lot.

Daphne, surrounded by her numerous shopping bags, laughed. "I might need some help, but it's totally worth it," she replied, her eyes glinting with satisfaction. "But you only bought a painting...that's too boring, brother."

"That's because I already have what I need so there's no need for me to buy things that I find unnecessary expense," Francis said.

Daphne pouted. "You are making me feel guilty for enjoying shopping," she said, half-joking.

"Uh-oh," Tristan interjected with a light tone. "Brother, Daphne felt hurt."

Francis raised an eyebrow, looking at Daphne. "I didn't mean it like that. Everyone has their own way of enjoying things," he explained. "It's just that for me when I already have something that is still functional, I won't buy unless it broke down or it's absolutely necessary."

"No, I'm mad. You made me feel that way...Hmph!" Daphne harrumphed.

"You should comfort her, brother," Tristan suggested.

"Good idea," Francis said as he rose to his feet and walked around the table to where Daphne was sitting. He playfully ruffled her hair. "Alright, alright, I apologize."

Daphne ignored him.

Francis leaned over and wrapped his arms around her neck, and poked her cheeks with his finger. "Come on, don't be mad."

Daphne tried to keep a straight face, acting tough.

Francis pulled her cheeks, making her smile, although Daphne tried to resist. "There, that's better," he said with a grin.

Once inside the elevator, they ascended to the top of the Bonaparte Tower. As the doors opened, they were greeted by a breathtaking panoramic view of Paris. The city's iconic landmarks, twinkled in the distance, and the city lights stretched out as far as the eye could see.

They spent some time taking pictures and admiring the view. It was a clear evening, and the city looked magical under the night sky.

Daphne pointed out different landmarks and shared some historical tidbits about Paris. "Look, there's the Louvre," he said, "and over there is Notre-Dame Cathedral."

The three looked at the landmarks Daphne pointed out and was impressed she was able to locate them.

They spent thirty minutes atop the Bonaparte Tower, and after that, they went down and prepared to leave.

"Thank you guys, it was fun," Francis said.

"Yeah...it was fun," Tristan concurred.

"It was the best," Aveline added.

"I told you, you are going to like it," Daphne exclaimed. "Now, how about we take a picture? Four of us together—" she paused as she noticed a photographer passing by. "Hey!"

The photographer passing by, a friendly-looking man with a camera hanging around his neck, snapped his head towards Daphne.

"What is it, mademoiselle?" the photographer asked.

"How much would it cost for you to take a photo for us?" Daphne inquired.

"Fifteen francs," the photographer replied.

"Okay, we'll take that," Daphne said, agreeing to the price. She reached into her bag and pulled out the required amount, handing it to the photographer.

The photographer smiled and gestured for them to gather together. The siblings huddled close, with the iconic Bonaparte Tower in the background. The friendly photographer took several shots, making sure to capture the moment perfectly.

"Merci!" Daphne said with gratitude as they received the printed photos from the photographer.

"Okay, this is a good photo," Daphne said. "We can go home now."
