On the Tea Maker, the water in the kettle began to boil, bubbling out steam.
Adam Walker snapped back to reality, released her, turned off the switch, and lifted the kettle to pour boiling water into the purple clay teapot.
After setting down the kettle, he turned to face the duchess.
"This tea needs to steep for a while before it tastes good. Are you hungry? Shall I make some Dumplings for you?"
"Sure." The duchess looked around. "Can I help you?"
"You've been on the plane for so long, you should rest for a while." Adam Walker pulled open the refrigerator, took out some fruit that had already been cut, brought it over, and ushered her back to the Living Room. "Eat some fruit first, it won't take long."
"Thank you." The duchess expressed her gratitude and glanced in the direction of the staircase, "May I look around?"
"Of course." Adam Walker looked at her with a smile. "After all... this is also your home."
Home?!
