Chapter 798 Future Husband
Arthur’s Tavern was decked out in the full glory of the medieval era. The tables and chairs were carved out of hardwood, and the waitresses were dressed in rich, medieval costumes. Everyone who stepped into the restaurant felt like they had traveled back to medieval times.
However, the enchanting atmosphere was not the primary draw of the restaurant. It was their mouth- watering cuisine that attracted their patrons to visit time and again.
It was already a full house when Alex ‘arrived. He spotted a slender hand waving at him from the crowd. It was not hard for him to find Maggie.
Her breath-taking beauty had already caused many heads to turn in her direction. As Alex joined her at her table, he felt many people looking at him in a mix of envy and jealousy.
Clearly, these were men who had designs on Maggie.
