Chapter 96 Acknowledging Each Other
“It’s not that bad. It was heartbreaking when I found out everything was fake,” Maggie said with a smile. She was feeling happy, too.
In her previous life, she never had the opportunity to converse with Ericko.
After assisting the Camerons to eradicate the Adams, her parents passed away one after the other. Ericko treated her like an enemy, seeking revenge relentlessly.
If it weren’t for Nathael protecting her in the midst of it all, she probably would have died several times.
Later on, perhaps upon learning about her background, Ericko ceased his revenge towards her. He had just observed her from a distance on a few occasions.
She had long lost interest in the Adams, unaware of what had happened to Ericko,
As she gazed at the man before her, Maggie suddenly felt like drinking with him. “Do you like to eat pizza?”
Ericko was momentarily taken aback. He hadn’t expected such a casual question.
Perhaps it was their familial connection; Ericko immediately knew what she was thinking. “Let’s go, my
treat.
He took her to a pizza place she had never heard of. He led her to a secluded location in a winding alley.
Before entering the alley, Maggie could smell the enticing aroma of pizza crust.
“Their pizza tasted very authentic. Although there are a lot of customers, it’s not overly noisy. Reservations are often necessary. Fortunately, I have a good rapport with the owner. I can eat here without any hassle.”
Ericko introduced the place to Maggie.
Before long, they were escorted to the second floor. The tables upstairs were spaced out. The entire loft was semi–open, offering a beautiful view outside.
Despite having many customers, it was quiet due to the vast distance between each table.
The interior design was quite vintage, with some intricate details.
The place was also decorated with vintage and modern ornaments. Maggie could tell that it was to appeal to the general public.
Maggie was hungry the moment she smelled the aroma of freshly cooked pizza.
The craft beer here is exceptional,” Ericko said while handing the menu to Maggie.
They talked and ate for over an hour.
The pizza place was definitely a better place than a fine–dining restaurant. They could talk about everything here and get familiar with each other.
Maggie ate heartily, and she was contented.

Her delicate face was flushed with a rosy hue as she eagerly reached for another glass of crafted beer recommended by Ericko. She looked like a contented cat in his eyes.
Ericko had his sleeves rolled up, and his shirt collar loosened. He ate a lot, too.
He kept serving food on Maggie’s plate.
Maggie smiled at his actions.
It’s nice to have a brother
She could never feel the same way with the Camerons as they were deceitful.
