Blind Date Turned Proposal novel Chapter 1016

Josie, noticing the waiter's disbelief, felt a bit embarrassed. She tugged at Mallory's sleeve. "Aren't you being impolite?"

"In these times, one can never be too cautious."

After Mallory finished speaking, the waiter slightly lifted his head unexpectedly, revealing his eyes previously concealed under the baseball cap. His pitch-black pupils carried a hidden sharpness that resembled the flash of a blade being unsheathed. Just like that, he stared directly at Mallory.

Suddenly, Mallory felt her legs weaken.

Why does an ordinary waiter like him have such an intense gaze?

The atmosphere grew tense. Josie wanted to intervene and defuse the situation, but all she heard was the waiter straining his voice to the point of distortion, gritting his teeth as he replied to Mallory, "I have a skin condition."

Mallory stood rooted to the spot, wondering why the voice sounded so familiar to her.

Who is he? Who is he? I just can't remember.

The words struck a chord with Josie's maternal instincts. She stepped forward, gently pulling Mallory away and apologizing, "I'm sorry, my friend didn't mean it. She's a little mentally challenged."

Even when all the dishes were served, Mallory, who had ordered a large amount of food, sat at the table with a listless look on her face.

Josie asked her, "What's wrong?"

Mallory was still affected by the harsh, icy gaze from earlier. This can't be... How can I possibly be intimidated by the gaze of a mere waiter?

This time, when she looked up, she still saw the same waiter serving the dishes.
