Hearing Dexter politely greeted them, Hilary and Hannah happily placed the shelled crawfish on his plate.
Dexter smiled at them. His smile was like sunshine, warming everyone's heart.
"Amy, how could this little boy be so handsome? I can't imagine how crazy girls will be for him when he grows up!" Hilary and Hannah liked Dexter very much.
The four of them were chatting happily there. Being surrounded by three friendly girls older than him, Dexter, a natural socializer, began to talk more.
"Look, they didn't go out with us, but with a young boy." Kevin pointed at Dexter and said sarcastically.
‘That guy is indeed good-looking. No wonder these girls are all attracted by him.’ Richard felt uncomfortable and thought to himself. When he saw the three of them shelled the crayfish for Dexter, he felt so jealous. ‘He couldn't do it himself?’
The two men didn't like Dexter at all and they walked towards them.
The four of them stopped chatting as they noticed that someone was getting closer, bringing with him a cold vibe.
"Richard? Why are you here?" Amy turned around and saw Richard, who was wearing a strange expression.
"We just passed by and saw you guys eating here, so we came over to join you," Kevin explained.
The four of them were confused. The restaurant was away from the main road! How could they call their visit "passing-by?"
Kevin said to the restaurant boss, "Sir, we need two more chairs."
"Then I'm gonna leave now. Bye." Dexter didn’t want to stay any longer since he found that the two men were unfriendly.
"So soon? OK. Bye." The reluctant expressions on these girls' faces made Richard and Kevin more upset.
Richard and Kevin didn't feel welcomed. None of these girls seemed happy about their coming, but they were reluctant to see Dexter's leaving.
Richard coughed, attempting to attract their attention.
It worked. These girls all looked at him with a concerned expression. Amy knew that he had suffered diarrhea for a day because of that cold coffee she made. But she wondered why he would come out at this moment.
"Richard, aren't you sick? Why don't you stay at home?" Amy raised her hand and touched his forehead.
Richard's forehead indeed turned a little bit warmer because of his anger.
"You have a fever. Let me send you back." Amy was a little nervous.
"It's fine. I feel better when I see you guys. Just go on eating." Richard immediately acted as if he were an easy-going person.
They almost finished this meal, and now with Richard looking at them eating, no one wanted to continue.
"Just call it a day. I'll send Richard back. Kevin, please send my friends back," Amy said as she supported Richard. It seemed that he could barely stand.
Kevin felt that Richard was strong and had walked faster than him before they just arrived. All of a sudden, he was all weak and sick?
No matter what was going on, Kevin was happy to have such an opportunity to send Hannah and Hilary back.
