No Remarriage for us Stay Away (Lenora and Zachary) novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458 Are You Still Afraid I Will Leave
It was already noon when Zachary instructed his driver to head straight to a certain restaurant.

The waiter led the pair to a private dining room on the second floor before politely presenting them with the menu.

Zachary had visited this place a few times before but only noticed the lamb dishes on the menu this time, likely due to him not fancying them.

Casually flipping through the menu, Lenora randomly selected a few dishes.

After that, Zachary told the waiter, “I want to add lamb stew and lamb ribs.”

“You certainly have good taste, sir. These two are our specialties,” the waiter noted with a smile.

“Isn't it too much food?”

“No worries, we can take the leftovers home.”

Zachary handed the menu back to the waiter. “That will be all.”

While they waited for their meal, the two casually chatted.

Zachary was meticulously listed all the upcoming new products from the subsidiaries and studios of Fuller Group, asking Lenora which one piqued her interest.

As long as Lenora made a choice, he could arrange for her to conduct a product shoot for them.

If she desired to work for a magazine, he was also willing to make a recommendation.

Lenora hadn't expected him to be serious. She laughed lightly and said, “No rush. Let's wait until I really can't find a job first.”

Roughly ten minutes had passed when the waitstaff had finished serving the dishes.

Somehow, when Lenora saw those two plates of lamb, she surprisingly didn't feel much desire for them. Instead, she found himself reaching for the other dishes instead.

Upon seeing this, Zachary picked up a piece of lamb from the stew for Lenora, placing it on her plate. “Here, give their signature dish a try,” he suggested.

Lenora went on to take a piece of lamb, bringing it to her mouth.

An overpowering stench quickly hit her nostrils, causing Lenora's expression to change drastically. In an instant, she dropped her fork and leaned over the trash can, retching.

Everything that had just been eaten was thrown up.

Immediately, Zachary dropped his fork and rose to his feet, moving to Lenora's side. His hand gently patted her back.

Only when she had nothing left to throw up did Lenora straighten her body.

Zachary helped her to her feet, casually handing her a glass of water. “How do you feel now?”

After rinsing her mouth, Lenora, pale-faced, said, “I'm alright. For some reason, I suddenly found the mutton overpoweringly gamey and felt like throwing up.”

She used to enjoy eating lamb, but to his surprise, she threw up today. Zachary simply assumed that the lamb from this place wasn't fresh.

He picked up a piece of lamb with his fork and gave it a sniff.

He had never been a fan of lamb. Now, due to the influence of the circumstances, he found it even more peculiar. He moved the two plates of lamb to the side, saying, “Let's not eat them anymore.”

His face darkened slightly, and he promptly pressed the bell on the table.

A minute later, the waitress knocked and entered the room. She immediately sensed the heavy atmosphere inside which stirred a sense of unease within her. “Sir, ma'am, how can I assist you?” she asked.

When she caught sight of the filth in the trash can, her sense of foreboding intensified.

Just as expected, Zachary's face hardened as he said gravely, “My wife suddenly threw up after eating your lamb stew. She loves lamb and has never had this issue before. I suspect that your lamb isn't fresh. It might even be spoiled!”

The waitress glanced at Lenora, whose face was deathly pale. She was clearly not feigning her discomfort. In a reassuring tone, the waitress said, “Sir, ma'am, we deeply regret this unfortunate incident. But our restaurant only uses freshly slaughtered lamb, so it's impossible for it to be stale or spoiled. Why don't I take the two dishes back?”

A high-end restaurant like them would never risk damaging their reputation and brand over small profit.

Zachary had been there a few times, naturally because the quality of the establishment was assured.

However, Lenora, who loved lamb, suddenly threw up after smelling the lamb there.

“I want to see your manager,” Zachary commanded. He could easily afford the two dishes and didn't want to put the waitress in a difficult position.

The waitress hesitated for a few seconds, but knowing that these two guests were not to be trifled with, she quickly agreed. “Please wait a moment, I'll go get the manager right away,” she said.

The waiter was about to leave when Zachary called out to her again, “Wait, I want to order a bowl of plain risotto, and bring it over as soon as possible.”

“Alright.”
