Hearing my words, Cindy’s eyes darkened slightly. It was probably because she had lost the opportunity to make Zedd jealous.
At this time, Zedd came over. He swept us with a measuring gaze, followed by a raised eye. "How did it go?"
"He’s got something going on. He probably can't make it, so let's eat," I looked over at him and spoke softly.
At that, the hostility on Zedd’s face dispersed, and joy could be seen on his face as he said, "Let's eat here ”
Even though he tried to restrain himself, I could hear the faint happiness in Zedd’s voice.
It seems that he still minded Theo's
presence.
Zedd took the lead and went into the restaurant. I was about to step in when I saw that Cindy had not moved. Knowing what she was thinking, I gave her a hand." Now is not the time to be thinking.
When we entered, Zedd had already chosen a table.
It was by the window, so the lighting was good. From time to time, we could still enjoy the view outside.
I sat in the inside seat. Cindy was still standing. She looked at the seat next to Zedd, then next to me. She finally chose to sit down next to me.
"Order, please."
I could clearly sense Zedd's displeasure, but he did not say anything and raised his hand to call for the waiter.
"What’s for lunch?" "You decide."
As soon as I said that, Cindy flipped open the menu and ordered two or three dishes as she wished. She then closed it and raised her eyebrows. "Mr. Nichols, you rarely treat people, so I ordered a few expensive dishes. You wouldn't mind, right?"
She said this harshly. What else could Zedd say?
I shook my head helplessly. Cindy indeed had not changed.
"Of course not," Zedd responded.
