Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 358

"I'll have two carbonaras, one with no mushrooms and only the beef slices. I'd also like a mango juice, a glass of plain water, and a blueberry mousse with less cream."

Keith placed the order clearly meant for two people with refined ease.

One of the carbonaras had been altered to Lisa's taste, especially with the detail of the beef slices. It was something that only someone very close to her or who had paid careful attention to her would know.

Lisa would never complain about food in front of others. She would just avoid anything with mushrooms.

Keith hadn't seen Lisa for years. They had also just recently confirmed their relationship. Despite that, Keith still remembered her preferences well, showing how thoughtful he was.

Previously, I had mocked their relationship as just a passing fling. But it turned out that Keith was really putting in the effort.

"We should order."

Brandon gave my hand a light squeeze, gently reminding me.

I realized it wasn't the best time to interrupt Lisa and Keith's rare moment together.

Besides, they had chosen a spot so close to the hospital. It was probably because they were too busy to even have a proper date.

It would be rude to interrupt them now.

Brandon and I went to place our order. Given my fever and sore throat, he picked out light and soothing dishes for me.

"Save the dessert for another time. You're still sick. It might make your throat worse."

Brandon was as attentive as Keith. Though he didn't order the desserts, he explained why.

Keith and Lisa were eating quietly without talking. As I glanced over at them, I felt a pang of dissatisfaction. Suddenly, I felt like making a scene.

"But what if I really want some?" I asked.

It was alright for a woman to be a bit demanding in a relationship sometimes, as long as it didn't go overboard.

Being loved and indulged was the highest level a woman could aspire to in a relationship.

But seeing Lisa's relationship made me feel bored, like the bland food I was having.

"You can have a little, but not too much."

Surprisingly, Brandon agreed with a condition.
