Abel held Emmeline's hand as they walked from the elevator to the Fifteen Avery Park.
It was lunchtime, and the place was packed with people.
"Should we go to a private room or stay in the main hall?" Abel asked Emmeline.
"Let's stay in the main hall," Emmeline replied. "I prefer to be with the crowd."
A waiter approached them and asked, "How many, sir?"
"Two," Abel answered, embracing Emmeline with one arm.
The waitress was a young girl. As soon as the two of them appeared, she noticed them.
They looked like a perfect couple.
Especially this man, he was stunning.
The waitress could not help but take a few more glances at Abel.
Though his answer was just one word, her face had already turned red.
"Please come this way." The waitress turned around and led them to a table.
Emmeline pinched Abel's arm and whispered, "Did you see that? The girl blushed when she talked to you."
"Is it my fault?" Abel looked at her teasingly, "Should I blame you for being too beautiful if a male waiter talks to you?"
"I don't want to stop you from flirting with girls." Emmeline winked at him, "You're so popular."
"How about I flirt with someone in front of you?" Abel teased her intentionally, "I've never done this before."
"Huh!" Emmeline twisted his waist, "How dare you. Try me!"
"I surrender!" Abel raised both hands, "I'm yours for all my life!"
"What about the next life and the life after that?"
"They must all be yours!"
"Haha!" Emmeline laughed, "Aren't you being self-sentimental? What if I don't want them?"
"That's not possible." Abel said, "Buy one, get two free."
"What do you mean by buy one, get two free?"
"This lifetime is sold to you, along with the next lifetime and the one after that. No returns allowed!"
"You're finished." Emmeline sneered, "When did you become so glib, Abel?"
"I'm just trying to make my wife happy." Abel chuckled softly, "Can't I say a few nice words?"
As they spoke, a waiter led them to a table for two and handed them the menu.
"What do you want to eat?" Emmeline asked Abel, "Today, It's my treat."
"Oh?" Abel smiled, "Are you trying to keep me as your toy boy?"
"Is that not allowed?" Emmeline glanced at him, "With such a handsome guy like you, who wouldn't want to be your mistress? Give me a chance, will you?"
