Even Danielle was dumbfounded.
The Parry family did not have the qualifications to possess a Black Peony Card, but she had seen one before.
A few years ago, when her older brother's ex-girlfriend, Jane, took her shopping, they ran into her cousin Abbie at a store. Abbie generously paid for their purchases, and when they were checking out, Danielle saw the black card with a golden peony pattern.
The manager of the store was shocked and personally served them, even offering a 25% discount to please them.
Little did they know, that card was borrowed by Abbie from Kelvin and could be used freely, but only for a day.
Emelia had expressed several times that she wanted that card, but Kelvin only lent it and didn't give it away.
Danielle stood rooted to the spot, her hands intertwined, biting her teeth, looking at the backs of the two with complex emotions.
Muttering in a sour tone, her red lips whispered, "It must be fake, it must be! How can a man kept by a poor wretch like Cheyenne have enough money? His black card is going to embarrass him later, hmph!"
As soon as her words fell, a clear and pleasant electronic sound suddenly came from ahead.
The card... the card had been activated!
Now, Danielle's face became extremely gloomy. Her eyes widened, and she stared in astonishment as Cheyenne, being led by the handsome tall man, walked towards the VIP private room on the second floor.
The restaurant's general manager was leading them.
"It... it's real! Damn it, what kind of background does the gigolo kept by Cheyenne have?"
"I don't know. Could it really be Kelvin Foley?"
"Wouldn't he be her ex-husband?"
The two figures on the second floor had disappeared behind the door, but the people outside the restaurant started a lively discussion.
...
Inside the private room.
A well-dressed middle-aged man was carefully serving Kelvin, a slight smile on his face that he couldn't hide. He chattered on, introducing the specialty dishes of the restaurant.
"Mr. Foley, would you like to start with the Creamy Chicken Puff Box and Caviar? The caviar arrived this morning by air from France, very fresh."
"Okay."
Cheyenne, supporting her chin with her delicate hand, played with the earring in her hand, listening attentively to the manager's description.
"For the soup, we have Oxtail Clear Soup, French Onion Soup, and Italian Vegetable Soup..."
"Clear soup. She doesn't like onions, and she's a glutton who loves meat."
Kelvin earnestly looked at the menu, listening to the manager's introduction with furrowed brows as he responded.
"She" naturally referred to Cheyenne. The latter straightened up and looked at Kelvin.
In the morning, she thought he just happened to speak her favorite food.
She didn't expect him to really know her preferences... Did he deliberately investigate her?
What she didn't know was that Kelvin even asked the family's chef and had Chris collect information on where she used to go, what she ate, what she bought, etc...
"Marseille Fish Soup, Foie Gras Fillet, Paris Lobster, Caviar, and for dessert, another serving of ice cream."
Kelvin took charge of the entire ordering process, and Cheyenne continued to support her chin, watching him order lazily, not saying a word.
He would be paying, so he had the right to order, right?
And Kelvin was completely catering to her preferences, saving her from wasting time deciding what to eat.
