Falling For The Alpha King novel Chapter 17

"No, it's not like that. It's just—" she answered.

"Why Lisa?" asked Scott.

“I couldn't do as many things as I wanted, because I had to take care of my mother who was sick at the time. Sean and I helped each other. Meanwhile, my father works,” answered Lisa.

"Sorry to hear that. What happened to your mom exactly?” asked Scott.

“She suffered from a stroke that hit half of her body. She couldn't do much and just lay limp in bed the whole time."

"Sorry to hear that, Lisa. And how are things now?” Scott asked curiously.

“She passed away not too long ago. That's one of the reasons why Sean and I vacationed here."

"Sorry for your loss. If there's anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to say it."

"Thank you. You can help me with one thing."

"Say it."

“Take me to interesting places. How? Before I go back to Manhattan."

"Okay. I'll set the time and then get back to you."

"Thank you, Scott."

Not long after that, the food they ordered arrived. Scott asked Lisa to taste the food and give her comments. Then, Lisa immediately shoved the food into her mouth and a few seconds later she started showing a satisfied expression.

"How about it? Is the food taste good?” asked Scott.

"Um, delicious. Even though it's just a plate of pasta, it's delicious. I love cheese, and the taste of the cheese in this pasta is very good but doesn't cover the taste of the pasta. The sauce is also very good. Thank you for bringing me here," Lisa replied.

Scott felt very happy to hear and be close to the girl. The man felt Lisa was different from other girls. She is very simple and shows a side of herself as she is, without pretending. To Scott, this girl is very innocent and honest.

A few minutes later, from the direction of the stage, a singer pulled up a chair and sat on it. Then, other musicians went up and sat in front of their respective musical instruments. Then, the music began to sound.

Lisa and Scott, who were enjoying dinner, immediately set their eyes on the stage. The song sung by the singer sounded familiar to Lisa. The song is very beautiful and romantic.

Scott, who felt that he had looked at the stage enough, then turned his head and found Lisa who was enjoying the live music. The man smiled at the cute face of the girl who was destined for him.

"Lisa," Scott called.

Lisa looked at Scott and said, "Yes."

“Do you like the music? Will you dance with me?” he asked.

“Yes, I like the music. Let's dance after I finish this meal," answered Lisa.

"Okay, just eat slowly, not too fast."

"Um, okay."
