King's Back novel Chapter 8

"Of course he had never eaten this kind of dishes. The best he could get in his life was ordinary meals. Look at Dolcie, getting so skinny after marrying him."

In fact, Logan didn't like to eat western food either, but he wanted to show off, which was why he chose here.

Normal person wouldn't know how to order food in here.

By then, he could take over the menu calmly, order a few dishes elegantly and talked a bit about the western civilization that he learned from the Internet, which made others look highly on him.

What's more, he even learned some simple French in order to show off in front of Dolcie, who he really wanted to pursue. And he did spend some time in learning.

Logan talked to the French waitress in French.

Jackson thought that Logan knew how to speak French. But to his surprise, Logan changed back to speak Mandarin while ordering food.

Dolcie smiled and said, "Logan, I don't know that you can speak French."

"It's nothing, just some basics." Logan was proud in his heart. As he expected, he could win the affection of the lady by eating in this high-end restaurant.

"Logan, you're too humble. You must be that kind of person that often visits upper-class places. You must have passed French IELTS ." Martha said with a big smile.

Jackson almost laughed, he had never heard of such language test. Martha was really trying her best to brag about Logan.

"I honestly think that Mr. Harper's French is just so-so, not fluent at all. His level is comparable to a three-year-old kid."

After hearing Jackson's words, everyone was shocked for a second. Logan showed his contempt and said: "It sounds like that Mr. Owen is pretty good at French."

Jackson nodded, "Yeah, much better than you."

Martha was unhappy with what he said. She scolded, "Enough, Jackson! You know French? You're just a househusband, probably learning from the TV at most. Don't you disgrace us!"

Dolcie was uncomfortable in her heart. She brought Jackson with her was to show that she was already married and tried to refuse Logan's intention. But now all her family members were on the side of Logan, isolating Jackson completely.

"Mom, don't say that."

"Okay, let's order."

Logan didn't want to be regarded as narrow-minded. Therefore, he decided to order a few dishes and two bottles of Romani Conti red wine as well.

After that, Logan ordered for Martha and Serena.

"Dolcie, what would you like to eat?"

"Whatever." Dolcie answered coldly.

"Mr. Owen, I don't know your taste, you'd better order for yourself."

As Logan talked, he handed over the menu to Jackson. He was already gloating in his heart. He thought that Jackson must have never eaten any standard French meals and wouldn't know how to order at all.

Jackson glanced at the French waitress and spoke in perfectly fluent French: "Miss, I want a Parisian cabbage, fried scallops with foie gras, and marjoram salmon rolls."

The French waitress's eyes twinkled and said incredulously: "Sir, you...you speak French? Your French is very fluent, with a pure Parisian accent."

After all, there weren't many people in here that could speak French, especially as fluent as Jackson.
