Aurelia glanced at her, "You know it's awkward, huh?"
Amanda Fuller stuck out her tongue.
Mason Nightshade looked through the rearview mirror and saw Aurelia's bright complexion, her lips curled up into a cheerful smile, the corners of his own mouth lifted unconsciously.
Start the car.
"Should we find somewhere to celebrate?" Amanda Fuller asked excitedly, not waiting for a response before making the decision herself, "Let's go eat at Zhai's! I've heard the food there is really delicious..."
She paused, looking slyly at Mason Nightshade, "Mr. Nightshade, since Aurelia passed the audition, shouldn't you do something?"
Mason Nightshade glanced at her expectant eyes and nodded, "I'll cover the bill."
"Yay!"
Amanda Fuller cheered and looked back at Aurelia, fearing she might disagree, her big eyes pitifully pleading, "Aurelia, is that okay?"
Mason Nightshade unintentionally raised his eyes to look back, his heartstrings tightening.
Aurelia really couldn't refuse Amanda Fuller's expression, sighed helplessly, and nodded, "Alright, let's eat there."
After all, it was almost lunchtime, and it doesn't matter where we eat.
Mason Nightshade's heartstrings loosened, his thin lips curved into a smile, like a child savoring honey, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.
Soon they arrived at Zhai's.
Mason Nightshade had called ahead, and the server directly led them into a private room.
Amanda Fuller marveled, "I didn't expect there to be so many people dining here. If we hadn't called ahead to reserve, we probably would have had to wait outside."
"These private rooms are prepared for those with money and status," Aurelia said softly. She had come here before with Balthazar Shaw and often dined here with her mischievous friends, including Viscount Zhou, when she was in school.
During that rebellious time, she often led Viscount Zhou into all sorts of rebellious acts, causing Uncle Zhou to go ballistic every few days.
He would chase her with a stick whenever he saw her.
Although he never really hit her.
But as a child, she didn't know that, and even as she grew up, she still feared seeing Uncle Zhou a bit.
"So, are we benefiting from Mr. Nightshade's blessings?" Amanda Fuller said with a giggle. In M Nation, there were also such tiered restaurants. She had freeloaded quite a bit with her brother and knew a bit about it.
They ordered some dishes, perhaps because of Mason Nightshade's special status, the food was quickly served, but...
Amanda Fuller's face fell as she looked at each dish, the red chili peppers raising little forks like tiny devils provoking her.
She could handle spicy food, but... does every dish have to be spicy?
She cast a questioning glance at the man who ordered the food.
Sigh, this meal was a free ride, after all, it's best not to complain. Maybe Mr. Nightshade just loves spicy food?
Just as this thought hadn't settled in Amanda Fuller's mind, Mason Nightshade said nonchalantly, while unwrapping his chopsticks, "Aurelia likes spicy food."
Oof!
Amanda Fuller heard the merciless sound of a knife stabbing into a single person's heart, silently took out her phone, tears streaming down her face, and sent a text seeking comfort from her brother.
"Boo hoo hoo~~ Bro, I've been tormented with lovey-doveyness again. Do you know how hard it is to snag a free meal? And now I have to watch them flaunt their love, I can't go on!!"
Foster Fuller replied indifferently, "Be good, you're still young, no dating for you, just ignore them."
Young my foot!
Amanda Fuller was so angry she almost smashed her phone.
Aurelia summoned the server, "Hi, could you bring us two more milder dishes?"
Amanda Fuller was moved to tears, "Aurelia, you're the best, thinking of my tastes even now."
Aurelia glanced at her with her peach blossom eyes, her expression unchanged, casually adding, "I ordered them for myself."
