Chapter 2 56: M City’s King of Jealousy is Back
Roxane chose the barbecue restaurant. In the past, she often came to eat here with Enzo and Jessica. However, every time these two ate and drank cold beer while she was only allowed to have corn juice. Today she could finally eat barbecue and drink cold beer. She was like a child whose wish was granted, filled with excitement. She was in such a good mood that she was humming the whole way here.
Barbecue restaurants generally experienced a business boom during the summer. Moreover, as it was dinner time when Roxane and Sebastien arrived, the restaurant was packed. The tables in the restaurant were all occupied and there were only two empty tables outside.
The owner knew Roxane. As it was the first time that Sebastien came here, he naturally did not recognize Sebastien. However, he could tell that Sebastian was no ordinary person. He said with consideration:
– If you don’t want to sit outside, just wait a bit. Maybe the private room will be vacated soon. You can walk down the street while waiting.
The barbecue restaurant was located on a street lined with restaurants and also snacks and food stalls. It was especially lively at night, filled with people milling about.
Roxane looked at the tall, handsome man next to her with a look that seemed to ask, “Is it okay to eat outside?”
Sebastian was dressed very casually in a white shirt and gray pants since they were only going to dinner. He seemed more grounded compared to the usually unapproachable air he exuded. His temper seemed to have warmed up.
He was worried that she would be hungry, so he didn’t want to wait for the private room. He said :
– Let’s go out to eat.
He wasn’t as pampered as most people assumed. Most people thought he only ate at fine dining restaurants or Michelin star restaurants. However, he had already eaten these cheap foods. It was just that he didn’t like fatty food. He preferred lighter foods, which were also healthier.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Roxane happily pulled him over to one of the empty tables outside and sat him down. She skillfully washed the cutlery and cups in the small basin of hot water while ordering without looking at the menu.
The owner had a good memory. After listening to Roxane’s orders, he said:
– It’s the usual.
She nodded. She knew what she liked.
Sebastien raised an eyebrow and asked:
– Have you come here often in the past?
She placed a cup in front of him saying:
– In the past, my brother, Jessica, and I often came here to eat.
They didn’t care where they sat; As long as there was an empty table, it was fine. Sometimes, if there was no table, they would even order takeout and eat by the side of the road. It was quite interesting to watch people come and go while they ate.
Sebastien’s emotions were difficult to discern as he calmly said:
– He’s never invited me to a barbecue before.
He thought that if Enzo invited him to this barbecue restaurant, maybe he could meet Roxane sooner. The sooner he met her, the sooner he would be able to snatch her away from another person. He felt frustrated and helpless having met her so late.
Roxane smiled and defended her brother.
– My brother probably thinks you won’t like this kind of place.
After all, he had already eaten all kinds of delicacies. She wondered if he ate the spicy cumin here that stimulated the taste buds, would it harm his delicate stomach?
Sebastien looked at her and gently touched her forehead.
– You have no right to defend other men.
Roxane rubbed her forehead, feeling wronged.
– He is my brother! My biological brother!
– Not to mention your brother, even your father won’t do the trick, said Sebastien in an authoritarian tone. He was very calculating about the space in his heart. He wanted to occupy her heart completely; no one else was allowed to occupy his heart.
-…
“The King of Jealousy of M City is back!”
The owner personally served Roxane. He brought the skewers before bringing the beer.
When the crawfish Roxane ordered arrived, she grabbed the disposable gloves, intending to put them on before peeling the crayfish. However, before she could do so, the man next to her had already taken off the gloves.
She turned to look at Sebastien.
He put on the gloves and started peeling the crawfish. He said calmly:
– I’ll peel this plate of crayfish for you.
Hearing this, Roxane was slightly stunned. Then she said shyly:
– Did you stalk my Weibo?
In the past, Enzo helped Roxane peel the crayfish, but there were also times when he didn’t. Once she cut her finger while shelling crayfish. After that, she took a photo of her finger and posted it on Weibo with the caption: “I really wish someone would say, ‘I’ll peel this plate of crawfish for you’.”
When she had posted that message, she had hoped that Diego would see it and do such a thing for her. She didn’t expect that the person who said these words at the end turned out to be Sebastian.
– It’s not just this plate. From now on, I will go through them all for you, Sebastian said. He placed the peeled crayfish on his plate and said:
– Eat, greedy little cat.
Roxane hasn’t eaten. Instead, she took a photo of Sebastian’s hand and the peeled crayfish on his plate. She posted it on Weibo with the caption: “Someone said they’re going to dissect everything for me in the future.”
Shortly after Roxane’s post, those idle subscribers, who were subjected to Roxane’s display of love, commented one after another.
Internet user 1: Ah! Is that your boyfriend’s hand? His fingers are long and well defined! They say you can tell a man’s prowess in bed through his fingers!
Roxane looked furtively at Sebastien’s fingers. “His fingers are indeed long and distinct. No wonder every time he did that…”
Internet user 2: Is he the very powerful man who does 13 times a night?
“13 times a night…” Roxane frowned slightly. Her face immediately burned when she remembered the embarrassing incident. She moved her hand, wanting to delete that comment. If Sebastian saw it, he would definitely tease her again.
Sebastian continued to place food on his plate. He didn’t even look at her as he said:
– Eat. Even if you delete it, I can still see it if I want.
All you had to do was call him.
Roxane removed her finger from the delete button and said guiltily:
– I, I wasn’t going to delete any comments. They didn’t say anything strange…
– Really?
He raised an eyebrow as he said:
– Let me take a look.
Roxane quickly placed her phone on the table with a thud before saying:
– Eat ! Let’s eat! I’m starving. Don’t play with your phone during dinner.
Sebastien did not denounce her. While eating the barbecued lamb, he didn’t forget to help her peel the crayfish and shrimp that had also just been served. The taste wasn’t bad, but he didn’t like food with such a heavy taste. He naturally didn’t say anything since he didn’t want to spoil her mood.
While Roxane ate, she took a sip of beer. She was eating very happily when suddenly the sound of a phone ringing filled the air.
