Lily thought Alexander would just go back to the hotel after finishing his business meeting. She did not expect him to bring her out for a meal.
Alexander turned to her and asked, “Did you manage to try the food at the restaurant I recommended?”
Lily recalled that chaotic day at the restaurant. She had not seen the boy after that and wondered how he was doing now. Having food allergies was not rare, in fact, many people suffered from one. From dairy products to seafood allergies, some even had allergic reactions to things like millet and eggs.
There were actually endless possibilities when it comes to food allergies. It was understandable that some were unaware of their allergies, but Helen was the boy’s mother, how could she not know…?
“Is there anything you’d like to have?” Alexander passed her the menu as he knew that she could speak and understand the Westwood language.
Lily touched her earlobe and shook her head, “I’m not familiar with the food here. You should order, I’m fine with anything.” The main reason was that she preferred food back home. Even though Westwood had their share of amazingly delicious cuisines, Lily just did not know how to appreciate them.
“Since we’ve just seen how Southbank soap was made, why don’t we try some Bouillabaisse and steaks as main, and also…” He pointed at a few items on the menu and asked, “Since we drove here, we shouldn’t be drinking, right?”
Lily nodded, so Alexander ordered two glasses of orange juice instead and returned the menu to the waiter.
“Are you still mad?” Alexander asked as he noticed Lily was not as enthusiastic as her usual self.
“Why should I be mad?” Lily was drawn back to reality by his question. She was caught up in her imagination a while ago. “You gave me presents and even brought me out for dinner, so why would I still be mad?”
