The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 A Restaurant For Couples

“Where exactly is this place you’ve brought me?” Maren inquired, eyeing Sawyer suspiciously.

“Just a restaurant for couples,” Sawyer responded, easing the tension with a wave of his hand.

“A restaurant for couples? And what made you think I’d enjoy a meal here with you?” Maren’s apprehension surfaced quickly. “You aren’t falling for me, are you?” Her time with Sawyer had indeed been extensive of late.

“Don’t read too much into it–I’m merely playing a role that’s yet to conclude,” Sawyer said, referencing his

attire.

Since they both left the Marshall family’s estate together, Sawyer hadn’t removed his disguise as Lucien.

“Why question a meal at a restaurant for couples? We’re visible to everyone. Acting aloof might raise suspicions with the Marshalls,” he added.

Sawyer harbored true feelings for Maren.

Nevertheless, he realized that the timing to disclose his affections was not right.

Risking their growing closeness on a premature confession could jeopardize any future possibilities with her. “Fair enough,” Maren replied, finding logic in Sawyer’s words. I almost forgot you’re not into women.”

With that, Maren confidently led the way into Rose Paradise.

“Not into other women,” Sawyer murmured, his voice barely a whisper.

“What was that?” Maren turned back, not having heard him clearly.

“Never mind.” Sawyer hastened to catch up.

An hour later, as Maren and Sawyer enjoyed the ambiance of Rose Paradise, two familiar figures entered.

“This place is supposed to be the finest romantic eatery in Voutsas. After enduring those endless days on the island, don’t we deserve a treat?” Nadia said, her arm linked with Wilbur’s.

“Of course, you decide,” Wilbur responded, gazing affectionately at Nadia while caressing her belly. “Nadia, do you think we’ll have a baby?”

“You know, touching me like that won’t make me pregnant.” Nadia chuckled, gently moving Wilbur’s hand aside. “Will you marry me if I’m pregnant?”

“Nadia, you’re already my family.” Wilbur looked at her warmly.

After Maren departed from the island, trust eroded among most of the students, except for a few like Hannah. They distanced themselves, leaving Wilbur and Nadia to fend for themselves.

Throughout those challenging times, Nadia was the constant Companion by Wilbur’s side, facing both the

isolation and adversity together.

The lack of available contraception on the island led to careless moments between them. After more than ten days of intimacy without precautions, the possibility of a pregnancy loomed over them.

Their bond had grown stronger in the wake of these events.

Wilbur had acknowledged that despite Maren’s captivating charm, she was beyond his reach.

Though Nadia might not have Maren’s striking features, her presence was comforting, her commitment unwavering, and her affection uncomplicated.

Wilbur also noted the enticing offer displayed in the restaurant. “Couple suites available. No additional cost.”

Financial strains had tightened around the Thorpe family, leaving Wilbur with scant resources.

Saving money on getting a room was a good thing.

With Nadia close by his side, Wilbur entered Rose Paradise.

Upon entering, they were immediately taken aback by the lavish interior, which outshone any romantic setting they had known in Baimsa.

The lively ambiance was a perfect match for the elegant surroundings. Wilbur and Nadia observed that every table was filled with dining couples in the hall.

“What? Can private rooms really cost that much?” Wilbur exclaimed in shock at the prices listed at the front desk. Even for Voutsas‘ standards, the rates at this romantic establishment seemed excessive.

“Regrettably, sir, we are quite full today. There are spots available in the dining hall if that’s alright with you,” the receptionist explained.

A flash of irritation crossed Wilbur’s face. Was a member of the prestigious Thorpe family really expected to

dine in a hall?

“Let’s just settle for the open seating, Wilbur. There are two spots over there, and I can hardly wait,” Nadia urged him.

She had nearly exhausted her financial resources after transferring what little she had received from William to the Thorpe family.

Now she was depending on Wilbur for their meals.

The tantalizing smells from the kitchen made her mouth water.

“Fine,” Wilbur replied, drawn by the promise of a delicious meal.

They had not had a decent meal in quite some time.

Once they had placed their orders, they found their way to the only two vacant seats left.

The restaurant was bustling to the brim; a moment later, and they would have missed out on even these seats

As they awaited their meal, Wilbur’s gaze wandered across the hall. It was filled with attractive individuals, yet
