"You still haven't told me why you like desserts so much?"
"Maybe... life felt too bitter before, so I wanted to eat something sweet." Elena smiled.
Back then, everyone thought she was the daughter of the Sterling family and should be enjoying wealth and glory.
Little did they know, she had been thrown into the countryside very early on, left to fend for herself.
Other children mocked her, saying she was a child without parents.
Her parents didn't love her; they even joined forces to bully her.
They threw mud at her head. Back then, she was only four or five years old!
When she went back, the servant beat her too.
She said Elena was filthy and made her do chores.
She was someone hired by Thomas and Melissa in the countryside specifically to take care of her.
But for a child without parents around, how could anyone genuinely treat her well?
That servant didn't give her food and ignored her in the freezing winter.
Once, when she was being bullied by kids her age, she was covered in bruises because they hit her with sticks.
That was the time she met her mentor.
The old man said she had exceptional talent and asked if she wanted to be his apprentice, promising to take care of her from then on.
But she didn't agree!
She refused!
The old man appreciated her even more.
Usually, a child in such a situation would agree without hesitation.
But she didn't!
He liked her spirit.
It wasn't until she went back and was beaten by the servant again that the old man saved her once more.
He told her one thing then: if you want to stop being bullied, you must become strong yourself.
In that moment, she agreed.
Later, she trained with the old man every day, and he taught her many things.
