Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 24

Hannah ignored Susan.

She had now parked the car near the Heroic Restaurant.

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

Susan followed Hannah to enter the suite unhappily.

A man had been waiting inside, who was standing in front of a French window, looking like a prince.

Then he turned around to face them. A bland smile was shown on his face.

Hannah suddenly had this feeling that “Prince Charming” was the most perceptive description for him. He was standing there exuding an aura of the prince of fairies, while he didn’t have Oscar’s strikingly handsome looks, nor did he possess Charles’s pretentious gentleness and dignity.

“Been waiting long?” Hannah asked.

“No, I just arrived,” Manuel replied.

“Let’s sit down.” Hannah said.

Manuel found a spot and sat down.

Meanwhile, Susan sat down farthest from him.

Hannah noticed that but she gave no response. And Manuel seemed to be clearly not affected at all.

After they were all settled in, the waitress came forward with deference and handed them the menus.

All of them were flipping through the menus at the same time.

“Manuel, it’s been a long time, is there anything you especially would like to try? These are regional dishes from Kensbury City.” Hannah asked.

But Susan rushed to say before Manuel opened his mouth, “I supposed there’s no chilli abroad, right? It’s a nice chance to eat chilli here.”

Manuel pursed his lips and did not say anything.

They knew each other’s eating preferences as they had grown up together. Manuel had moved to Kensbury City from the capital at the age of eight. The food in the capital city was more towards sweetness, yet the food here in Kensbury City tended to be spicy. Although he had been living here for so many years, he still could not get used to the spicy food.

Now that he had left here for many more years, it was conceivable that he would not be more accustomed to peppery food than many years ago.

But Susan ordered a list of dishes with heavy favor.

“Would you like to order some vegetables? We have…”

“I want all of them to be mixed with a lot of hot pepper!”

“Oh, alright. But Miss Phillips, 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.” Susan straightaway rejected the waitress’s kind suggestion.

The waitress was startled for a second and she said yes.

“Please hurry up, I’m starving.” Susan urged. She did not give anyone a chance to place their order.

Hannah saw Manuel 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 at the table. Susan was playing on her phone and did not intend to join Hannah and Manuel’s conversation at all. She looked like an outsider.

Luckily the waitress served them the dishes before long.

Susan started indulging in her food excitedly.

Hannah took a few bites. She was accustomed to spicy food, so she could endure the spiciness. But that was not the case of Manuel, he had never touched his chopsticks.

Hannah wanted to call over the waitress to place another order. Yet Susan took the words right out of her mouth, said while pouring the beer, “I think I probably should have brought you a bottle of welcome-home wine or something.”

Hannah glimpsed at her.

‘She knew Manuel was not good at drinking!’

Manuel took his glass and said, “Thank you.”

He started to drink with them.
