Chapter 0199
Soon, the dishes were brought to the table. Silas caught a whiff of the food, and his appetite was immediately piqued.
He then picked up a piece of cajun chicken. The tender meat was dripping with a bit of sauce.
“This is delicious!” he exclaimed, “I haven’t had such authentic cajun chicken in a long time. We definitely made the right choice coming today.”
Bryan was intrigued and took a piece for himself. “It’s really good! Lizzy, you should try some too.”
“No, I’m on a diet.”
Bryan quickly retracted his fork and placed the food on his own plate, laughing. “Alright, then when you’re not dieting, we can come back just the two of us.”
Elizabeth–rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Who said I’d come with you?”
The playful banter continued on that side of the table. Across from them, Sandy, who was in a good mood, glanced at Miranda with curiosity.
“Miranda, I haven’t asked yet–how old are you? If you’re starting your first year of graduate school in September, you must be… what, 22 or 237” Sandy asked casually, without any particular intent.
Miranda responded just as casually, not thinking it was an issue. “No, I’m 26.”
But the reactions from others at the table were instantly more nuanced. 26 years old and only just starting graduate school?
Bryan sneaked a glance at Paul, who remained calm. He was eating his food unhurriedly as if he had known all along.
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, showing her first smile since sitting down. “Starting grad school at 26? How hard did you have to work for that? How many tries did it take you?”
As soon as she spoke, Bryan nudged her under the table, as if saying, “Be careful, this is someone Dr. Jefferson brought in.”
However, all he got in return was a sharp glare from Elizabeth. It was like she responded with, “Just mind your own business!”
“Pfft! That’s absurd! Since when does Bedford College offer combined Master’s and Doctorate programs outside of the medical fields?”

Now, suddenly, someone was claiming she had the chance to do a combined program at Bedford College but gave it up? What a blatant lie!
