Giada instantly choked on her words.
It was her own fault that she asked for it.
Now she couldn't even find a good reason to argue back.
"If you knew it's spicy, why didn't you stop me?" She blushed a little but still said it back.
Henrick suddenly smiled. "If you feel you are clever, why don't you ask someone else to treat you for dinner, instead of your own family?"
"I don't like to take advantage of others."
She only liked teasing him, but he had always been so harsh to her.
"Henrick, it's your honor that I take advantage of you. Why are you always so stingy?" Giada knew she was wrong, but she still argued back.
Henrick was speechless. "Why should I be honored? Do you think I should applaud for myself that I spend money for you?"
Then he snorted.
He didn't know why she was being so irritating today.
Maybe it was because he took Alma to attend the audition today. Giada never liked her.
Instead, she liked Alice, who was so chattery and could never stop messaging him on the phone every day.
He found Alice so annoying, and sometimes he really wished that he could blacklist her.
Giada angrily rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do whatever you want."
Henrick really didn't know what to say.
She only dared to argue with her own family.
"Will you two stop it? It's not easy for us to come out for dinner together. Why do you have to argue with each other all the time?" Kenneth frowned and looked at them.
He felt they were really irritating.
They could never stop fighting no matter where they were.
Giada got up and took a sip of the juice Eden poured for her and then started walking out angrily.
"I'm going to the restroom."
Then she closed the door behind her angrily with a loud bang.
Eden shook her head helplessly. The two of them could never get along.
"Mom, I didn't mean to do it. She must be angry with me because of Alma." Henrick looked at her mother's helpless face and felt very guilty.
Eden knew that they would be fine soon.
"It's alright. But why can't you just let her win? You clearly know your sister's temper."
"Okay, I got it," Henrick answered sullenly. Why it always had to be him who let her win?
His mother was on his sister's side.
His father was on his sister's side.
Even his brother was also on his sister's side.
Hum!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. It seemed that everyone in his family was on his sister's side.
But he never had a chance to say it out.
Eden looked at Kenny and said to him with a smile, "By the way, Kenny, mom has something to discuss with you. You have time on winter vacation, don't you? How about going to Brian's office to work for a few days? He really likes you."
Kenneth frowned, however, looking at his mother's expectant eyes, he felt he could not say no.
"Gia, Gia!" Eden looked everywhere again, starting to get worried.
She hurried out of the ladies' room, "Gia is not in there. Let's go out and have a look."
She was a little scared now. This was not the first time they had been here, so Gia shouldn't have got lost.
The three of them went out and searched around, but there was still no sign of her at all.
Eden stopped her steps.
She glanced at the hotpot restaurant, where there were a lot of people.
All the waitresses and waiters came in and out, all with a gentle smile on their faces.
However, there was still no sign of her daughter.
Gia had a bad temper, but she was would never make her mother worry about her.
She was a very sensible child.
Eden immediately returned to the hotpot restaurant and went to the cashier at the front desk.
"Hi, my daughter is missing. Could you show us the footage?"
The waitress who was dressed in a red work suit was not being helpful at all. She looked at Eden with disdain and said in a strange tone, "You should go to the police if your daughter is missing. Why do you want to see the CCTV? We can't help you find her."
Eden frowned when she heard this.
Kenneth and Henrick also looked at the waitress angrily.
"My daughter has disappeared from your restaurant. Do you want me to call the police over and search your restaurant?" Eden's tone was cold, and she looked at her with her sharp eyes.
The waiter sneered disdainfully and said with sarcasm, "So what? As a mother, you should have looked after your own daughter. How could you be so shameless and yelling at me here? We can't show everyone the CCTV footage. If you want to see it, you'd better find the right person here."
