Soren's bravado instantly put the man next to Arnold on high alert, instinctively reaching out to shield Arnold behind him.
"May I ask who you are?" The man's good upbringing didn't allow him to get angry immediately, but the emotion in his eyes was quite apparent.
Soren ignored him and looked towards Arnold, "What are you doing?"
Arnold, confused by the question, replied, "What else would I be doing in a restaurant? Eating, obviously!"
"But this is a couples' restaurant."
"So what?"
Arnold didn't see any difference between the two. After all, Soren wasn't his date, so why the drama?
"Do you not know him?" the man's eyebrows were now knotted together.
This question somewhat baffled Arnold, "Well, I can't say I don't know him, but we're not that close."
"If that's the case, I'll have to ask you to leave and not disturb our meal, or I'll have to call security." The man stood up abruptly, forcing Soren to look up at him.
The height difference between them was clear, and Arnold watched the scene with satisfaction.
Ah, the feeling of being protected was indeed different; Soren didn't even need to handle it himself.
Before leaving, Soren gave Arnold a harsh look, one that seemed to convey a clear message.
He wished he could strangle him right there.
Arnold just shrugged helplessly; nothing was more important than his date right now.
It happened to be the weekend, and Vivienne's family was out shopping at the mall. From afar, Percival spotted Soren standing alone, looking rather upset.
Following Percival's gaze, Vivienne saw Soren and smiled, "Should we go say hi?"
No sooner had she spoken did Vivienne realize something was amiss. "What's he doing there? On a stakeout?"
Soren's stern look and tightly pursed lips suggested he was preoccupied with something serious.
"He seems to be watching two men in the restaurant across the street, but they don't look like criminals. They're just eating quietly," Juliette observed from the railing.
Percival, now aware of the two men inside, quickly reassured himself there was no cause for concern.
"Let's go. Weren't you guys excited to try that restaurant? Let's not worry about this for now." Percival gently patted the children's heads.
Seeing this, Vivienne quickly caught on to what Percival was implying. If he chose not to approach, it must mean something was up.
Once the children were fully engrossed in their meal, Vivienne leaned in to ask Percival, "So, do you know those two men Soren was glaring at?"
Percival laughed at her choice of words, "What on earth have you been watching lately?"
"Don't dodge the question. Tell me what's going on."
"Remember the potential rival I mentioned to you about Soren?"
With a nudge from Percival, Vivienne's memory was jogged, "Don't tell me one of those two men is Anna's love interest?"
As she spoke, Vivienne reconsidered; the intimate, unconcerned manner of the two men replayed in her mind.
No matter how she looked at it, those two seemed like a couple!
