Viona finally woke up when the truck that was carrying her stopped, she then looked at the watch in her left hand quickly.

"I thought I slept too long, it was only thirty minutes?" Viona said softly as she smoothed her hair, which was messy because she folded it inside the hat.

​​

Soon, the door of the truck was being opened again and several men seemed to take out the boxes from the truck. When no one else was around it, Viona got out of the truck's box quickly. As soon as she got out, she walked away from the truck so that no one would suspect her when she managed to get out.

"Ah, finally I can smell the fresh air this morning," Viona said while raising her hands up when she managed to release herself.

She then looked around her surroundings and she found that there was a shopping complex that sold various snacks and cute knick-knacks. Viona quickly stepped into a small restaurant that was quite busy, she enjoyed an atmosphere where no one bothered her or chased her like when she was with her husband.

"Welcome, Miss," greeted a friendly waiter as he opened the door for Viona.

"Thank you, are there still empty seats?" Viona asked with a smile and looked around the restaurant which was almost full.

"For how many people, Miss?" asked the waiter again.

"Just one, myself," Viona replied quickly.

"This restaurant provides a comfortable place for visitors who enjoy solitude, maybe you want to try it?" said the waiter, offering some facilities in the restaurant at Viona.

"Yes, I happen to want to enjoy my breakfast in peace, thank you," she replied excitedly.

"Please come with me, we will prepare a table for you," the servant asked Viona to come in and follow him.

Viona then followed the servant's steps quickly to a room with only four chairs that faced the street, she could see the pedestrians outside as they passed by. Viona immediately agreed to sit in that place and ordered the food in the menu book.

"I want to order Split Pea Soup, one Butter tart, and Nanaimo bars. As for the drink, I want lemon tea without sugar and please put some mint leaves in it," Viona told her order to the waiter who was standing beside her.

"Noted, Miss, thank you for the order. All your food will be here in thirty minutes, please wait," answered the friendly waiter.

"Thank you," she replied quickly.

"With pleasure," said the waiter again, he then left Viona alone in the room and immediately went to the kitchen to tell the restaurant chef to make the food Viona had ordered before.

After the waiter left, Viona stood in front of the mirror and looked out straight to the street where many people were standing on the side of the road waiting at a bus stop. There were also several students who walked together to go to school while joking. The beautiful ordinary scene made Viona smile.

"It must be so great to be those kids who can laugh freely, what wonderful teenage years," she said softly as she continued to stare at the students who were getting on the school bus.

While she was still standing and staring at the people passing by, two waiters entered her room with the food she ordered earlier, they then placed Viona's order on the table carefully.

"Please enjoy your food, Miss. The soup will taste better if you eat it while it's still warm," said a waiter to Viona with a smile.

"Thank you very much," she answered quickly.

The two waiters left the room that Viona had chosen and continued their other tasks. Meanwhile, Viona instantly sat on her chair when she saw the Split Pea Soup she had ordered was served on the table. Split Pea Soup was a soup made from peas and meat, this soup was actually made by Canadian in the past after being inspired by a French explorer who came to Canada. Until now, this pea soup or Split Pea Soup could be found in many restaurants in Canada.

Viona seemed to be enjoying her soup deliciously, all this time she used to be spoiled by Fernando with expensive foods which eventually made her feel even more bored. That was why it felt so incredible when she had the chance to enjoy simple food like the one she was eating, especially since this was a healthy soup that didn't use too many preservatives and MSG. Actually, the food she usually ate at home was also cooked without any preservatives and MSG but Viona missed simple foods like this that were usually eaten by ordinary people who went to an ordinary restaurant like the one she went to right now.

After finishing her soup, Viona began to taste the Butter Tart that had caught her attention. Butter Tart was one of the Canadian specialties made of a mixture of butter, sugar, and eggs. It was shaped like a small bowl. This Butter Tart was usually served with coffee and other drinks, but it could also be served as a dessert after eating the main course like what Viona was doing now.

"Maybe it would be a good idea if I invite Fernando to go here, that way I will not keep eating expensive food," Viona said softly as she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief after she finished enjoying all her food.

She finally left the restaurant where she had breakfast and she had decided to go to Amina and Jenny's new muffin shop using a taxi. The shop was opened a few days ago and Viona wanted to pay a visit. When she arrived in front of the shop, she just stood from afar while smiling, she saw her siblings were very excited to serve the requests of buyers who were queuing in the shop. Her eyes filled with tears when she saw Jennie and Amina.

"Both of you have to be happy and live well, I'm very happy to see you like this," said Viona inside her heart as she wiped the tears that came out of the corners of her eyes.

She canceled her plan because it was getting late and she didn't want anyone at home to look for her.

When going back to the house, Viona accidentally saw Louisa come out of a restaurant not far from where she was standing. She was planning to greet the sexy doctor but she canceled her intention when she saw a man also get out of the same car to follow Louisa. Viona never saw the man before and it seemed that it was her first time seeing him. She didn't want to disturb Louisa's time with the stranger man so she finally chose to return home because it was almost lunch. She didn't want anyone to notice that she wasn't home, Viona felt that her walk today was enough to make her feel relieved because she could see a different scene than the one she used to see at home.

Viona got back to her husband's mansion using a taxi, she directed the taxi driver through the side road with a high fence covered with plants. Viona still remembered the secret route that was told by the former chef of Fernando's mansion named Mrs. Lily. According to Fernando, she had died several years ago due to illness. In fact, Viona wanted to meet her when she arrived in Canada, but she couldn't find her whereabouts because she didn't have much chance to go around in Canada at that time. She heard about Lily again right after Viona got married to Fernando and he shared the news with her.

"Are you sure you will get off here, Ma'am?" the taxi driver asked Viona, he was confused when they arrived in a private area owned by Fernando Gray Willan.

"Yes, Sir, this is the money," Viona answered with a smile as she handed the money to the driver.
