“Sky Garden wants to see proof of how much money you have. You also need to make reservations one month in advance. I didn’t even see your name on the three-month booking list!” Peterson stated.
“Goodness! You guys don’t understand him. He’s going to die soon, so it’s only natural for him to toot his own horn and make his presence known,” Linda said.
Even Jennifer did not quite believe Donald when he said he had made reservations in Sky Garden.
She lowered her head. “That’s enough, Donald. Let’s go.”
Donald responded, “But I really did make reservations at Sky Garden.”
Brandon wore a mocking expression on his face. “In that case, I want to see if you’re telling the truth. Do you know what will happen if I find that you lied? Even though I’m not the Grim Reaper, I have a lot of ways to send you to the afterlife!”
Donald narrowed his eyes as he looked at Brandon. Aren’t you being a little too harsh?
“That’s fine. You can come and have a look with me,” Donald replied casually.
“All right. Let’s go together,” Kevin suggested.
As they walked down the stairs, Peterson shook his keys. “Do you have a car? Jennifer can ride in my car.”
There was a Lamborghini Urus parked on the ground floor. It had a market value of around three million.
Kevin’s heart fluttered at the sight.
Brandon also had a car. It was a BMW 760.
“I don’t have a car. However, we can call a taxi,” Donald replied. He hailed a cab and headed toward Sky Garden.
Jennifer was a little worried. “Look at how much you’ve bragged already. How will you continue your lie later on?”
The taxi led the way while the Lamborghini Urus and BMW 760 trailed behind.
Jennifer looked around her surroundings. She asked in confusion, “Are we really going in the direction of South Light Street? You won’t actually bring me to a food street, right?”
Donald suddenly wanted to tell a joke. “Yes, I am! Is the food there subpar or something?”
Jennifer smiled lightly. She hugged Donald’s arm and leaned on his shoulder. “That’s not what I meant! I’m willing to go anywhere that you take me to.”
Jennifer wondered when was the last time they were this intimate. It’s been a long time. I think it was back when we got married.
As Jennifer continued to lean on Donald, tears suddenly flowed down her eyes. “Donald, I’m sorry. I didn’t know how much of an effect that piece of rock would have on you.”
Donald shook his head. “I’m the type of guy who faces his weakness head-on.”
In fact, he had been trying to look for his own weakness. His status was very unusual. Wyvern King had once told Donald that if his current ability could not solve his current issues, another ability would become available to him automatically.
Therefore, Donald put it in the nicest way possible and did not blame Jennifer too much.
However, Jennifer felt very guilty.
“There are only twenty-two days left before New Year,” Jennifer said softly.
Donald nodded. “Yes. If I don’t solve my issues before New Year, I’ll probably die.”
Donald had no idea whether the artificial sun had any effect or not.
“We’ve arrived at Sky Garden.” The taxi driver parked the taxi beside the road.
Kevin and Linda, who drove behind them, also got out of their vehicles.
They were stunned while looking at the magnificent Sky Garden.
A black cloth was covering every corner of Sky Garden. There was no way anyone could see what was inside the building.
“Look! Sky Garden really is undergoing renovations right now.” Peterson smiled faintly.
“What nonsense are you spouting!” Kevin exclaimed in a fit of rage. “Jennifer! Now that you’ve seen how Sky Garden is like right now, you should come to Grand Laurel with us!”
Linda hurriedly rushed over to them. “Indeed! You have to leave now! Donald is a crazy man right now! He’s also the man who broke a fish tank!”
Brandon smiled faintly. “Even I can’t make reservations at Sky Garden, let alone you!”
Jennifer felt a little embarrassed. She tugged at Donald’s sleeve. “Why don’t we go to the food street?”
Donald shook his head. He said to Jennifer in a solemn tone, “Today is your birthday. I have to do what I’ve promised!”
