Jared's brows furrowed, and his expression darkened at Benedict's words.
Gary noticed the grim look on his son's face and quickly interjected, “Benedict, we’re here to have a meal as a family. Why are you bringing up Jared's friend? She won't be interested in Javier at all!”
Although Benedict looked down on Gary and his family, the latter was still his older brother. Hence, he dared not retort.
“What do you mean, Gary? What's wrong with Javier? The way I see it, he's better than Jared. At least Javier hasn't been in prison and isn't an ex-convict,” Stella piped up, displeased at Gary's jibe about Javier.
Benedict may not have the guts to say it, but I fear nothing!
“You...”
Gary flushed angrily. However, he could only remain silent since there was no denying that Jared had been in prison.
A faint sneer played on Benedict's lips when he saw how furious his brother looked. Finally, he said, “All right, that's enough. Let's not argue. We should hurry up and order some dishes. I still have some matters to attend to later, so I can't stay long.”
Hannah passed the menu to Benedict. “Why don't you take a look at the menu and order whatever that is to your liking?”
Without even glancing at the menu, Benedict pointed at a page and said, “Let's order everything on this page, then. I've heard that the food here is quite delicious.”
His response stunned Hannah. Is he serious about wanting to order all the dishes on that page? How much is all that going to cost? What's more, there are only a few of us here. Weil never be able to finish all that food!
Gianna covered her mouth and tittered at Hannah's reaction. “Are you not able to afford it? If so, just be frank and tell me. I don't mind paying for this meal.”
Hannah went scarlet but did not say anything. If they're going to order all that, I really can't afford it!
“Those few dishes? That won't cost a lot at all.” Jared took the menu and gestured for her to sit down. Then, he turned to the waiter and ordered all of the dishes on that page.
