All Too Late novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 She Is Ignoring Me

Levi gazed at her quietly.

"No, but I’m acquainted with the owner."

The owner?

"Kate?"

Just then, a middle-aged woman with a mature charm came out of the restaurant, immediately recognizing Kathleen.

Kathleen froze, an inexplicable sense of familiarity rising within her the moment her gaze fell on the middle-aged woman before her eyes.

Mila gave her a faint smile.

"My name is Mila Hunt.I’m a close friend of Wynnie.You used to love my cooking."

Kathleen blinked a few times before responding, "Hello, Mdm.Hunt."

"I had no idea you two knew each other, Mdm.Hunt."

Levi remained composed as he flashed a smile at Mila.

Glancing at him, Mila asked indifferently, "Mr.Levi, what are you doing here again?"

"Mdm.Hunt, I’m here to—"

"You’ve just had lunch here earlier, Mr.Levi.You shouldn’t come here again for dinner," said Mila tonelessly.

Levi immediately turned to look at Kathleen.

Despite not fully understanding the conflict between Levi and Mila, Kathleen knew that this was her cue to step in.

Clearing her throat, she explained, "Mdm.Hunt, Levi is my friend.He came to Jadeborough on a business trip and dropped by to visit me.I was hoping to treat him to a meal, so…"

"Oh, I see.Come in, then!"

Mila invited them in graciously the moment she heard Kathleen’s words.

Levi was overjoyed.He had no idea Kathleen’s words and presence had such an effect.

Kathleen merely gazed at him speechlessly before following Mila into the restaurant.

"What would you and your children like to eat, Kate?" asked Mila with a smile after showing them to their seats.

"I have no idea."

Indeed, Kathleen had no plans, nor did she know what the signature dishes of the restaurant were.

"Allow me to decide for you guys, then." Mila smiled kindly.

"I’d like to have Sizzle Steak."

Unlike Kathleen, Levi seemed to be very clear on what he would like to order.

Everyone turned their gaze toward him.

"That’s a limited-edition dish that you’ve already had earlier, so it’s only available for Kate and the kids now," stated Mila bluntly.

"That’s fine, too.I just want them to try it," Levi replied nonchalantly.

Kathleen knitted her brows.

Somehow, she felt that that was not Levi’s true intention, but she had no clue what he had up his sleeve.

"Please wait for a moment."

Mila flashed Kathleen a smile before she spun around and left.

Kathleen immediately turned to Levi and demanded in a stern tone, "What’s going on with you? Explain everything clearly, or I’m leaving with the children!"

"Calm down.You’ll know in a second," answered Levi with a sheepish expression on his face.

A moment later, a young woman clad in a chef’s uniform approached them with a serving cart.

The woman was probably about Kathleen’s age.Not only did she have fair skin and delicate features, but faint dimples would appear on her cheeks when she smiled, too.

"Here it comes!" Levi became excited.

Kathleen turned to look at the woman.

Just then, Mila came toward them as well, walking alongside the woman.

Only then did Kathleen realize how strikingly the two women resembled each other.

"Kate, let me introduce you.This is our head chef." Mila beamed.

Kathleen smiled faintly in response.

"Hi, my name is Kathleen."

She reached out her hand.

"I’m Queena Hunt."

The woman held out her hand as well.

Queena Hunt? Kathleen shook hands with her.

"Are you…"

"She’s my daughter," Mila explained smilingly.

Realization dawned on Kathleen.

Oh, I see.No wonder they look so alike! She shot Levi a sideways glance only to see that he was staring at Queena with a dazed look in his eyes.

Queena blushed slightly.

"I’m about to make Sizzle Steak.First, I’m going to heat up this piece of lava stone here, and then I’m going to place this marinated steak on it.In just two minutes, the steak would be ready to be served."

As she spoke, she began heating up the lava stone.

Then she picked up the steak with a pair of tongs and placed it on the lava stone.
