Chapter 267
“I slowly got used to it,” Dylan replied impassively, as if the shop owner was talking about someone else.
Eric grabbed a glass of water and took a sip with a smile on his face. Therefore, I wondered what made him feel so happy.
Having known Dylan for years, I never realized he didn’t like spicy food. How unsuccessful was I as his friend?
Embarrassed, I looked at Dylan and apologized: “I’m sorry!”
“Don’t you think it’s too formal to apologize to me?” Dylan flashed me a gentle smile.
“He is right. An apology is too formal for you. Oh yeah, you guys should have kids by now, right?” the shop owner suddenly asked.
His question struggled with me as I suspected I had misheard. “Sir, what did you say?”
“He asked if you had kids,” Eric scoffed, looking playful.
Unbelievably, the store owner thought Dylan and I were married, so I quickly explained, “No, he’s not my husband!”
“He is not?” The shop owner was stunned for a moment. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you. Your friend said you were married at the time. Since you and this gentleman were so close to each other, I thought…”
He then turned his attention to Dylan and asked smiling, “What do you want cat?”
“I will eat the same food as her.” Dylan didn’t look the least bit displeased.
Nodding, the shop owner turned to Eric. “Sir, and you?”
“Well, I’ll eat the same food as her,” Eric replied in kind and smiled at me meaningfully.
Camille also directly said, “I’ll have the same too.”
After picking up the menus, the shop owner was ready to leave. I said to Camille, “I remember you don’t eat spicy food.”
Camila nodded. “I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately. I’ll just sprinkle some black pepper powder on it.”
“Okay, two sets with peppers and two sets without,” I told the shop owner.
“Is President Walker also allowed to eat spicy food?” Dylan joined the conversation.
“Who says I can’t eat spicy food?” Eric didn’t acknowledge my thoughtfulness. “I will eat my food with chili too.”
“Eric!” Camille turned her attention to Eric with her beautiful gaze.
“All good. Didn’t President Newman say he got used to spicy food? I am going to try.”
“President Newman was just considerate of Lily. Why are you doing this?”
“I want to do it. Some problem?”
Seeing that Eric was impatient, Camille kept her mouth shut.
Soon, the shop owner returned with grilled dishes. It was a joy to eat barbecue and drink beer at the same time. As I marveled at the delicious food and closed my eyes, Dylan was equally enthralled.
Eric and Camille, on the other hand, ate with difficulty. In addition, Camille also had to serve Eric as he was used to being served. In addition to skinning the shrimp and separating the chicken meat from the bones, she also had to remove the pieces of meat from the wooden sticks and place them on Eric’s plate.

Chapter 267
I had never seen such a meticulous man before and I wondered what Camille liked about him. As an outsider, I felt sorry for her having to be so humble. Rather than your girlfriend, she looks more like a maid!
After supper, we returned home satisfied. On the way back, I couldn’t help but laugh. “Eric is so used to being a young master. Also, I’m sorry that Camille has to do everything herself. As a famous actress, why does she follow Eric around like a handmaiden? She can totally live her life like a queen.”
Dylan smiled slightly. “Maybe it’s her servile nature. When a person is used to being a servant, he won’t want to be a master forever.”
“What do you mean?” I was stunned.
“Literally.” Dylan said dispassionately, “When Camille is with Eric, do you ever see Eric taking care of her?”
