My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 702

In just a few minutes, Kisha, Duke, and Keith arrived at the cafeteria, where Grandpa and Grandma Aldens were already waiting. An assortment of breakfast dishes was laid out before them, filling the air with a warm, inviting aroma.

Not far away, Eliot stood attentively, his sharp gaze flickering toward them every few moments, clearly checking to see if they were eating the food he had prepared.

Not far from him were the rest of the Evans family—well, perhaps with the exception of Melody.

"Dear! Did you have a good night's rest?" Grandma Aldens asked warmly as she stood up, immediately taking Kisha's arm and guiding her to a seat. In the process, she practically shoved Hera onto a chair before pulling Duke down to sit beside Kisha.

Before them was a well-prepared breakfast spread—scrambled eggs with toast and butter, crispy bacon and sausages, a fresh vegetable salad, tuna sandwiches, and freshly squeezed orange and apple juice.

For those living in the hidden base, this was considered a luxurious meal, a rare treat. However, for Kisha and Duke, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Their lack of reaction stood in stark contrast to Eliot's expectations—he had anticipated a bit more enthusiasm.

"Dear, do you want some coffee?" Grandma Aldens asked kindly.

Duke turned to her with a warm smile, exuding the charm of a true gentleman. "Grandma, please don't treat me like an outsider," he said. Then, noticing she hadn't started eating yet, he added, "You haven't had your breakfast yet, have you? What would you like to drink? I'll get it for you."

As he spoke, he gestured for Grandma Aldens to sit while he stood up, already preparing to head to the kitchen to fetch coffee and other drinks.

Kisha was already accustomed to Duke taking care of her, so she didn't flinch as he moved around, tending to her needs. However, Grandma Aldens wasn't used to it. She was well aware that Duke owned the hidden base they were staying in, and it felt excessive to expect someone of his status to personally take care of them.

But as she watched Kisha being treated like a treasure, cared for with such devotion, a warmth spread through her heart. In the end, with only a little reluctance, she took her seat and began chatting with Kisha, all the while piling more food onto her plate.

Every now and then, she glanced at Duke, who was still busying himself. Even the Evans family was caught off guard, watching Duke serve someone else so attentively—it was a sight they weren't used to seeing.

"You've found yourself a good man," Grandma Aldens remarked as she ate her breakfast.

Her comment was immediately met with a snort from both Keith and Grandpa Aldens. The two men exchanged a knowing look, silently agreeing that, in their eyes, it was still too soon for Kisha to be so involved with anyone.

However, when Grandma Aldens shot them a sharp glare, both Keith and Grandpa Aldens quickly lowered their heads, suddenly very focused on their meals, pretending they hadn't reacted at all.

Soon, Duke returned with a tray of freshly brewed coffee. He carefully poured a cup for both Grandma and Grandpa Aldens before setting down a glass of orange juice in front of Kisha. Without a word, he handed another juice to Keith.

Keith shot Duke a look, clearly wanting coffee instead, but with his grandmother watching him closely, he had no choice but to accept the juice without complaint.
