The place where Alice and Giada had agreed on was a little far from where Alice was staying.
As soon as she went out, she met Brenden, who had just come back.
"Alice, are you going out in a hurry?" He walked up to her and asked.
Looking at his travel-worn appearance, she smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to meet a friend and have dinner with her."
"Ah..." He looked disappointed. He had nothing to do these days and was often pestered by his sister. "Alice, I wanted to invite you out for dinner, but I didn't expect you to have an appointment."
She smiled apologetically. Looking at the disappointed Brenden, she felt very guilty. It was the right choice not to be a screenwriter anymore.
If she continued to be a screenwriter, Brenden would not have gone home to inherit the family business and would have followed her to be a screenwriter.
She could not delay his lifetime of happiness.
"Brenden, if you have the chance in the future, we can eat together. I don't have enough time, so I'll leave first. If you feel that it's not good to eat alone, you can ask Kylie and Lane to eat with you." After saying that, Alice walked to the elevator.
He chased after her and called out behind her, "Alice, don't be late at night. If it's too late, call me and I'll pick you up."
She looked back at him and smiled. "Well, if it's too late, you can come to pick me up."
However, she knew that she wouldn't be too late.
Martin's love for Gia was very enviable, and he didn't want her to stay up late. She also knew that she herself wouldn't stay up late.
Alice had taken a taxi there as she was usually too lazy to drive. It was too troublesome to find a place to park the car.
She didn't like spicy food very much. This time, in order to cater to Gia's tastes, she chose to go for spicy dishes.
It would take her 40 minutes to get there by taxi.
It was a weekend and there was no traffic jam.
The setting sun in summer was beautiful, like a fireball, turning half of the sky red.
Alice occasionally spotted the setting sun, which was a color that was more gorgeous than she had ever seen before.
Perhaps it was because she had explained everything to Henrick, but her current state of mind was completely different from what she had felt in the morning.
There will always be a solution to things, but if the misunderstanding can be solved, it seems that everything can be solved.
After so many years of sadness, she finally found relief. Although she still loved him in her heart and he was still her most beautiful first love, she could start a new life.
She smiled. Under the setting sun, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Her endless imagination made time pass faster. From a distance, she saw Martin holding Gia's hand as they waited for her at the door of the restaurant.
After she paid the fare, she went straight to them.
"Alice, over here." In the distance, Giada waved at her, and Martin, who was next to her, smiled dotingly.
Alice trotted over and looked at them enviously. "Gia, Martin, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Giada shook her head and let go of Martin's hand.
Martin glanced at his hand and felt as if he had been abandoned.
"Alice, we've just arrived. Let's go. I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's have a good talk." Giada pulled Alice into the restaurant.
Alice looked back at Martin. "Martin, you won't be joining us?"
Giada looked back at her husband and said with a smile, "He has other things to do. When we two best friends meet, he can't be there."
Henrick looked at the signboard of the restaurant and looked at Martin in confusion. "Are you sure I'll like the dishes here?"
Martin nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Henrick, I remember that you are not picky about food."
Henrick asked, "Are you serious?"
Martin smiled and said, "Very serious!"
"Ha..." Henrick was so angry that he laughed. He pointed at a dish on the signboard.
"Why does this dish look so familiar?"
Martin touched his nose and looked a little unnatural. "Gia likes eating it."
"But I don't like it!" Henrick looked at Martin, who was blinded by love.
"Martin, why are you the same as my father? Do you know his character? He likes whatever my mother likes. He doesn't eat what my mother doesn't like. My mother likes eating shrimp, so there's always shrimp in my house. If my mother likes fish, there will always be fish. For you, Gia likes pork dishes, so you also like these dishes when you go out. Can you not be self-deprecating in front of women?"
"At least, you should have some backbone. We have some human rights, don't we?"
Henrick crossed his arms and looked at Martin pleadingly.
Martin looked at him seriously and said in a rare teasing tone, "Henrick, when you find the woman you really love, then you can come and say these things to me again, but for now, I guess you can't say it. Let's go. I made a reservation here."
Henrick was lost for words. Could Martin at least give him a chance to refuse?
Henrick followed him helplessly. The decorations of the restaurant were very elegant.
There were not many people, and the dining environment was also very good. That was something that he was very satisfied with.
After they went in, Martin told the waiter the number of the private room, and the waiter took them there.
