Chapter 200
Brendan could tell that Peter was curious. He smiled. He interlocked his fingers with Naomi’s and Introduced, “This is my wife.”
Brendan was quite smug when he introduced Nooml as his wife.
Peter’s eyes widened. “Mr. Ludwig, you’re married!”
After he recovered from the initial shock, he looked at the couple and smiled. “Mrs. Ludwig is a charming and classy woman. You both look like a perfect match.”
Immediately after, he added, “This is your first time bringing your missus to our restaurant for a meal. Please don’t rush to foot the bill later, Mr. Ludwig. I’ve got to treat Mrs. Ludwig to today’s meal.”
Peter was a good businessman. He was overjoyed to have Brendan patronize his establishment. He never
wanted Brendan to pay for his meals.
Even so, Brendan was not an exploiter. So, he had gone a step ahead and instructed Jason to pay up.
Brendan smiled in response to Peter’s friendliness. He replied, “Sure thing, Mr. Dyer. On Naomi’s behalf,
thank you.”
Peter replied, “No worries at all. It’s my pleasure to welcome you and Mrs. Ludwig.”
Naomi was walking next to Brendan. She looked up at him briefly.
Deep down, she couldn’t help but feel gleeful to see this dominant persona of his. At this rate, pigs might really fly. He actually acknowledged her identity to someone else in public.
It felt as if he was a completely different person from the man who always said that he didn’t know her
over the past two years.
After they entered a private room, Peter brought their dishes to them personally. As Brendan served a portion of food to Naomi, he said, “Thanks to you, I won’t have to fork out money today.”
Naomi giggled. She joked casually, “See? Now you know that I command respect. You should butter me up more often next time.”
Brendan stared at her. All of a sudden, he felt like they had returned to the time when they were still in
school many years ago.
