The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 695

Chapter 695 Not A Couple

Jack knew she only invited him to lunch because of all those hints he dropped, but he still agreed to it happily when he saw the smile on her face.

Although Roxanne was the one paying, Jack was the one who drove and picked the restaurant to dine at.

Roxanne’s jaw dropped in surprise when they arrived outside the restaurant.

Given Jack’s status, she had assumed he would take her to some fancy restaurant in the city.

Instead, the one they were at was an old Chanaean restaurant. It had a rather tasteful decor, but the food there was fairly cheap. The customers were mostly ordinary white-collar workers and middle-class families.

“I got used to having Chanaean cuisine at home. I’m not sure if this is to your liking, though,” Jack said with a smile.

Roxanne flashed him a smile in return. “Honestly, I’ve been eating Chanaean food throughout the years I spent overseas.”

Jack arched an eyebrow at her in amusement. “Is that so? I thought you would prefer western cuisine instead.”

The two of them continued joking with each other as they entered the restaurant.

The waitress who greeted them at the door asked in a really friendly tone, “Good afternoon! Will you two require a private room?”

Jack instinctively turned to look at Roxanne when he heard that.

“What do you mean by private room?” Roxanne asked in confusion.

“Couples who dine here would usually request a private room as it gives them more privacy,” the waitress explained with a smile.
