Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband novel Chapter 24

Gianna ignored Maureen.

She had now parked the car near the Folk Restaurant that sold common folk dishes.

Maureen loved the restaurant’s dishes and no matter who she invited for a food gathering, she would definitely pick that restaurant and people who had no idea about that would think she was the restaurant’s owner.

Maureen followed Gianna and entered the suite unhappily.

A person with a slender body figure had been waiting inside. He was now standing in front of a French window, gazing at the moat outside the window. The weather was splendid today and the dazzling sunlight was shining on the river surface. The sparkling water looked beautiful and dreamy with the river flowing.

The person sensed their coming.

He turned around and faced them.

He wore a bland smile. The sunshine seemed to penetrate the window and a halo seemed to surround him at that moment.

Gianna suddenly felt that he was someone who came from heaven, and his existence was unparalleled.

He did not have strikingly handsome looks like Kingsley nor Caesar’s pretentious gentleness and virtuousness.

His elegant temperament was natural and genuine.

“Have you waited for long?” Gianna asked.

“I just arrived,” Bruce replied.

“Let’s sit down,” Gianna said.

Bruce looked for a spot and sat down.

Maureen looked for the spot furthest from him and sat down.

She did that on purpose.

Gianna was speechless.

Yet Bruce was clearly not affected at all.

After sitting down, the waitress came forward with deference and handed them the menus.

They flipped the menus at the same time.

Gianna asked, “Bruce, since you’ve not come back for a long time, is there any Kouby City’s meal you especially want to try?”

Before Bruce spoke, Maureen chimed in, “I suppose there’s no spicy food abroad! Since you’ve come back, we should eat spicy food.”

Bruce pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Three of them grew up together and they knew each other’s eating preferences.

Bruce moved to the Kouby City at eight. He came from the capital city and the food in the capital city was more towards sweetness. He had never eaten spicy food and he still could not get used to the spicy food in Kouby City after moving there for so many years.

Now that he had left there for many more years, it was conceivable that he could not eat spicy food.

Maureen said to the waitress, “I would like a pickled peppers rabbit dice, hot pepper fish, fried pork intestine with hot pepper and fried squid tentacles with mustard, all extra spice please!”

“Would you like to order some vegetables? We have fried water spinach and…”

“Water spinach would do, but I want it to be mixed with a lot of hot pepper!”

“Oh, alright. But Miss Torres, the dishes you order all look a bit too spicy. I’ll suggest ordering a plain vegetable soup…”

“Nah, please give me a beer instead.” Maureen straightaway rejected the waitress’s kind suggestion.

The waitress was startled for a second and she agreed.

“Please hurry up and cook the dishes, I’m starving,” Maureen urged. She did not give anyone a chance to place their order.

Gianna noticed Bruce had already closed his menu and he seemed to not intend to order other dishes.

She then returned the menu to the waitress too.

Three of them were sitting around the table. Maureen used her phone and did not intend to join Gianna and Bruce’s conversation at all. She looked like an outsider.

Luckily the cooking of the dishes was quick.

Dishes were placed all over the table shortly.

Maureen started indulging in her food excitedly.

Gianna took a few bites too.

The meal was indeed very spicy, yet luckily she could endure the spiciness and she was able to continue eating.

As for Bruce, he had never touched his chopsticks.

Gianna wanted to call over the waitress to place another order.

Yet Maureen suddenly began to pour the beer, “Aren’t we celebrating his return? It’s not a celebration without drinking!”

Gianna glimpsed at her.
