Chapter 267 The Only Person in the Dark Kate had conspicuously scooted over to South, making the
couple feel like they were isolated. Feeling embarrassed, Landon looked at her, saying, “I haven’t
nauseated you in seven years. Just because you’re having dinner with me, it’s made you feel that
way?” Gianna decided to cut to the chase. “Alright, let’s stop it right now. The person who’s paying for
this dinner, be more enthusiastic and order some food!” Ignoring Landon, Kate gave the menu to
George. “George, have a look. Just order whatever you like. This is on me today!” Upon looking at
Landon’s grumpy expression, George smiled and perused the menu without saying anything else
before ordering grilled fish. Then, he passed the menu to Gianna. “That’s it for me. Why don’t you order
the rest? I haven’t been around for a few years, so I’m not quite sure what the dishes actually are.”
After taking the menu, she ordered a few dishes that were South’s favorites. Then, she handed the rest
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto Kate. Without even asking the couple, she ordered a few more dishes before directly handing the
menu to the waiter. However, Landon didn’t seem to mind it as he was used to being thick-skinned and
being a freeloader anyway. Since she didn’t ask us, I’ll order it myself. Then, he called the waiter who
was about to leave. “Give me a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs. Mel loves that.” As soon as he said
that, Kate almost blew her top. However, she didn’t want to make a scene out and did not say anything-
even though she was furious. Melanie was slightly unhappy by the way she was being treated, but
since Landon had already spoken, she could at least try to present herself as a thoughtful person. “It’s
fine. There are already so many dishes. It will be a waste if we can’t finish them.” “Don’t worry about it.
Since someone is paying for the meal tonight, you can order whatever you want.” Landon looked at
Kate in a provocative manner, but she completely ignored him as she had no intention to talk to him at
all. Her behavior had made him feel as if his offense had landed on nothing-there was no fight for him
to pick on. However, Melanie frowned as she hated his cheapskate character. He was not poor, but it
would be akin to pulling teeth for him to foot the bill. He’s so stingy, no matter from which angle I look
at! I already had to exercise so much effort to ask him to buy something for me, be it a bag or clothes.
After being with him for such a long time, he’s still calculative, as if it is a war! It’s so tiring! I’ll dump him
once I have found a better man. I don’t have so much time to waste with him. She quietly appraised
George throughout the entire dinner. Why are the men around Gianna getting better each time? More
importantly, they are so loyal to her!
Gianna had seen through her expression-in less than ten minutes, the latter had already glanced at
George more than five times. Her intentions are probably obvious to everyone except for Landon,
who’s still in the dark. In fact, George, who had been speaking to South, had also noticed that. The
restaurant was rather quick in preparing the food. All the ten dishes that they ordered had arrived in no
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtime. After pouring a glass of wine for George, Kate raised her glass for a toast. “George, now that
you’re back, why don’t you stay for a few more days? We can bring you around. If Gianna is busy, I can
be your tour guide-free of charge!”
He touched his wine glass to hers, causing it to clink, with a smile. I appreciate it, but you guys are all
working. I don’t want my presence to affect your work. Apart from that, I won’t stay for long, so you
don’t have to bother much.” Holding Landon’s arms, Melanie suggested, “George, you can ask Landon
to accompany you. He’s not that busy nowadays.” Landon immediately added, “That’s right. If you want
to go anywhere, I’ll send you around.” George smiled. “Sure. When I want to go somewhere, I’ll give
you a call.” Landon looked at him in seriousness. “George, I’m being serious. If it weren’t for you and
Gianna, I might still be living on the streets now. Now that you are back, you must let me treat you
well!”
