Chapter 625
"What?" Rainie asked rather impatiently.
"Do you provide meals here?" Zachary smiled.
"No," Rainie replied coolly.
Nonetheless, Zachary stubbornly tried again, "I'm not familiar with the area. Could you recommend a good
restaurant?"
Rainie smiled then, but it was an ironic one. "As in the gourmet food you always eat? We don't have that here in this
village."
Zachary was speechless for a moment, and kept smiling, "I'm not a picky eater. I actually eat everything."
"Even dung?" Rainie asked, and pointed at the washroom before he could say anything. "You can make it yourself."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZachary was left speechless again, and he wondered if she really was Lulu.
After all, she was not that crude before, but why would they share the same face if she was not?
Still, he tried to be polite. "Nice joke, Ms. Lang."
Rainie shot him a dirty look. "What makes you think I'm kidding?"
With that, she dashed downstairs, her boots hitting the floor loudly in her wake.
Still, Zachary was not giving up. Once it was time to eat, he headed downstairs to ask Barbara, "Do you offer meals
here?"
Barbara did a double take, but she soon smiled. "Actually, wasn't there a sign out there that says we don't provide
meals? But if you don't mind, you could eat with us-*'
"Mom." Rainie walked up to them just then. "He's actually a very important person. All the food he eats is more than
what we can afford, and our cheap food would hurt his tongue. Let's eat already."
With that, she pulled her mother away, but Zachary followed. "I can stomach cheap food too."
Barbara proved warm and enthusiastic. "Sure! Join us!"
Rainie rolled her eyes at him, but could not say anything since her mother had agreed to it.
She was certainly upset even if she wanted to bear with it-the thought of a person harassing her at work eating at
the same table left her very grumpy.
Even the food in her stomach was hard as a rock as it went down her stomach.
Zachary was not being cagey-the homemade meal was good anyway, and seeing Rainie suffer made him happy for
some reason, somehow making the food even more delicious.
"I'm planning to stay here for a while, and I'll pay the expenses for food as well," Zachary said as he whipped out a
stack of bills from his pocket.
Barbara quickly refused. "Oh, you don't have to—it's already enough that you're staying with us."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt cost 250 dollars to stay a night, and she would profit just from Zachary's long-term lodging.
"You can always eat here if you don't mind too," Barbara smiled, her chubby face making her seem even more
friendly.
"Thank you very much," Zachary became smug that he got to stay, and noticing Rainie's glare just then, he asked
knowingly, "Why the sour face, Ms. Lang? Did you eat something terrible?"
"That would be you," Rainie snorted, and left the table right then.
Barbara glanced at Zachary just then, "You know my daughter?"
Zachary nodded. "We met before-l ate at the place where she was working."
"I see," Barbara nodded. "She can be feisty, so please don't take offense."
Zachary asked, "Your daughter? But you look nothing alike."
He wanted to know more, and he saw that the woman's face fell.
Still, she quickly realized that she was overreacting and she forced a smile, "Oh, what are you saying? Who is she, if
not my daughter? Do you mean to say I found her somewhere and carried her home?"
