Chapter 156 Ellimane Is Online
Alexander thought that it was rather coincidental. Frankly, he initially planned to head out to just find something to eat, but somehow ended up walking into this pan-European restaurant. At a glance, he saw Elise sitting in front of one of the tables.
“Out on a late night food hunt huh?”
When he asked that, his gaze was trained on her plate of food. Anyone would think that he himself had the desire to eat it too.
Noticing that, she quickly protected her bowl. “This is mine. You can get your own if you want to.”
With a chuckle, he called for the boss. “I want what she’s having. The exact same one.”
The boss then smiled before saying, “Alright, please wait a moment.”
In no time, the boss came back with another serving of beef stew. “Enjoy your meal.”
Looking at the beef stew before him, he thought to himself, I’ve never eaten this kind of cuisine before. Under Elise’s influence, I got to try it for the first time today. The taste is actually pretty good.
Now, he started to like the taste of it.
He then picked up his utensils and dug in. His actions were slow and composed like a textbook example of the royals’ etiquette. Elise couldn’t help but comment in awe, “Watching you eat sure is enjoyable.”
After finishing the meal, he took the initiative to pay the bill. He then asked after exiting the restaurant, “Are you going home?”
Patting her bloated tummy, she glanced at Times Square before telling him, “I’ll go back after digesting the food a little. I ate a little too much earlier.”
He then mimicked her actions and looked around their surroundings. “Sure.”
The two then took a stroll down Times Square. At this moment, a girl carrying a basket full of flowers approached them. “Sir, do you want to buy a flower for this beautiful girl?”
Hearing that, Elise mentally facepalmed herself. She quickly interrupted, “No thank you! We don’t need it.”
Who knew, the little girl then looked toward Alexander. “Sir, get her one. All girls like flowers.”
Raising his brows in amusement, he smiled as he took out some cash and handed it over. “I’ll take all of your flowers.”
At once, the girl’s face lit up like it was Christmas. “Really? That’s fantastic! Thank you, kind sir! Stay sweet, you two.”
After saying that, the little girl left the basket full of flowers behind in exchange for the money. At this point, Elise was flushed as she stood right there, watching Alexander carry those flowers. He then passed them to her. “Do you like them?”
Seeing the basket full of scarlet red roses, Elise thought that it’d be pretentious to say that she didn’t like it. However, what did he mean by gifting her red roses?
Did he not know that he shouldn’t be giving out red roses just to anyone?
“It’s getting late. We should head back.” Elise neither replied to him, nor did she take the flowers from him. She simply changed the topic. Noticing that, he quickly said, “Though it may be a little sudden, I just felt sympathetic for the little girl selling flowers so late at night. That’s why I bought them from her.”
