Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304
Refusing to accept this lie, he snapped, “No, something is wrong with you. Just shut up and peel.”
Swallowing my displeasure, I peeled it off as he asked, as he happily ate. The restaurant was packed as it was peak hour. All the other female customers had their partner do the peeling for them, but not me. Thanks to that, everyone looked at us with strange expressions.
When they saw how handsome he was and how subservient I looked, everyone thought I was trying to flatter him. Of course, they looked down on me, but I ignored their glares. Good thing I trained myself to be shameless now.
Eric stopped eating the shrimp after the third one, so I started grilling the lamb. At the same time, he picked up the gloves from the table and played with them before using them. Will he peel the prawns? I looked at him and sure enough, he started peeling one.
God, he’s obviously an amateur at this. Oh no, he’s so clumsy. That’s not how you peel a shrimp. When I laughed, he looked at me. “Why are you laughing?”
I quickly walked back to the grill, stifling my laughter. When I turned the lamb over, it had already done the shrimp, although there was hardly any meat left. He frowned for a moment, then he placed it on my plate.
“I’m not the type of guy who sits around waiting to be fed,” he declared. Man, he’s shameless too. “I can do it if I want
to.”
“Cool, Mr. Walker.” I smiled at the mangled shrimp before taking the lamb off the grill. Then, he placed two more shrimp on my plate. To be fair, they looked better than the first one.
“I think I paid my three shrimp debt.”
So he doesn’t like to leave anything on the account, right?
“Have some mutton, Mr. Walker.”
“Do you want me to eat this?” He frowned, as if I’d broken a taboo.
I knew that Clan Sigulfur avoided pork, but I didn’t know that Eric didn’t eat mutton. Was he particular about it? “You do not like?”
“Mutton smells like game, so I don’t eat it.”
“Mutton is super good for you. It helps your stomach in many ways.” My explanation earned me nothing but his impatience, so I shut up. More for me then. I dipped the lamb in the sauce and put it in it.
Eric was curious to see me eating the lamb. After a moment’s hesitation, he speared a piece of lamb and dipped it in the sauce before popping it into his mouth. “Actually, it’s not bad.”
“I told you.” I smiled, mocking softly. I thought you didn’t like the smell? But look at you now. Get off your pedestal, Eric Walker. You are not the center of the world. As we left after the meal, I asked, “Mr. Walker, have you watched ‘An Ancient Tale’?”
“What are you trying to say?” he asked.
“There is an episode that talks about a real chef. He brags that he is the best chef in the world, but everyone has discovered that he has no taste buds after eating his food. The real victim here is the king, however. He thought he was eating the best food in the world this whole time, but it turned out to be just rubbish.”
“Are you saying I never ate as well as the king?”
“No, that’s not what I meant. I just think this episode is funny”, I defended myself.
“Do you think it’s funny? I don’t see how.” He smiled at me, sending a shiver down my spine.

Chapter 304
“I’m really bad with words, but the show is hilarious, really.”
“Serious? So I have to watch it myself when I have time.”

When we got back to the parking lot, Georgie was still waiting in the same spot. Huh. Does he not need to eat?
After we got in the car, Eric asked, “Are you free tomorrow night?”
“Why?”
“I want to invite you to dinner at my house.”
Something is wrong. I can smell it. “It’s okay,” I quickly declined. “But thanks for your invitation anyway.”
“Just come. I don’t take no for an answer.”
Georgie then looked at me in the rearview mirror, her gaze as cold as winter, matching even Eric’s. That struck me as odd. I don’t think I ever crossed him, so why did he hate me?
When I got home, after saying hello to my parents, I went to take a shower, then I heard my phone ringing incessantly in the shower. I quickly covered myself with a towel before heading outside to see who was calling. “Lily!” Victoria exclaimed. “Bad news! Eliza cut herself!”
