My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 76

Manny and her two best friends kept staring at Chuck. Her two friends were really mad at Chuck the more they looked at him. Manny decided to remain silent and soon the dishes were served.

There were all kinds of seafood that smelled incredibly tempting.

"Mom, aunties, please help yourself," Zelda said. As a restaurateur herself, she was quite satisfied with the dishes she saw on the table.

It was all very appetizing.

She served shrimps to Manny and two of her aunties. She also served one into Chuck's bowl and then whispered, "Eat more."

Chuck was stunned at first. But he knew if a gorgeous lady served him food, he must eat them and so he did straight away.

Zelda was a bit weirded out. That move made it seem... a little too intimate!

She had never personally picked up food for any man before, but it felt good to do it for the first time. Zelda watched Chuck as he ate and it reminded her of the time they kissed. Did this mean that they were kissing indirectly then?

Manny frowned at the sight of their intimate gesture. She had thought that they were not a good match, so she certainly would not allow her daughter to continue to fall further into this abyss.

"Girl, what does Chuck do for a living?" Manny asked.

The lady with tight jeans and the lady with hot pants looked up immediately at Chuck. What could he be doing for a living? He didn’t even have a car, so what else could he do for a living? He must either be a nine to five salaried worker or an unemployed loser.

"I’m still studying," Chuck responded.

Zelda, who was about to say something, was startled.

"Still studying?" Manny was getting even more upset. Their age gap was too huge, that would mean almost a seven or eight years difference.

"No wonder. So Zelda, how did you guys know each other?" The woman with tight jeans asked with a smile.

"Maybe they met each other through his part-time job." The woman with hot pants said.

"If that's the case, doesn’t that mean the employee is now dating his boss?"

Manny felt even more embarrassed. “Oh my, what are you doing, my dear daughter?”

"No, he wasn’t a part-timer at my restaurants." Zelda was angry.

Yet, she could not show it too openly because they were her elders after all. She had to be respectful.

"No? Then how did you get to know each other?"

The woman with tight jeans added, "Well, Zelda, I didn't mean to be asking too much. So if that’s the case, can I ask where the place he just reserved for dinner is then?"

"Exactly, this shouldn't be a problem, right? I really want to know what kind of place he has reserved for us! Will it be more high class than this place?" The woman in hot pants was very ‘curious’ while enjoying the seafood.

Now that she knew Chuck was a student, she was even more convinced of her opinion. She thought that Chuck must have reserved a table at a low-class restaurant. How could they be dining at a restaurant that costs less than a hundred bucks per pax? It was too cheap!

Fortunately, she had booked this restaurant way ahead. Otherwise, she’d probably get a stomach ache if she dined at those kinds of cheap places. The woman in hot pants was frightened at this thought and realized she had made the right choice.

The more Manny looked at Chuck, the more she found Chuck less pleasing to the eye.

Zelda was really helpless.

"The place I booked was..." Chuck paused as he saw the waiter was coming their way to serve some food.

"Where was it? Why didn't you finish your sentence? The place you booked was? Was it here?" The woman with hot pants said disdainfully.

“Do you know how expensive the food is here? It would cost around seven thousand dollars for their meal from what she just ordered. How could a student like you book a place like this?”

"How generous! This place is very expensive. I doubt that even if you pooled your month's worth of living expenses, could you afford a meal here." The woman in tight jeans sneered.

Manny frowned, "Tell us then, where exactly did you book?"

"Here. This was the place I booked," Chuck said.

Zelda was surprised since she thought that Chuck had chosen other restaurants.

However, Manny's face turned cold and she was very unhappy.

The woman with hot pants sneered. "What a coincidence that you’ve chosen this place too!"

Her tone was particularly harsh when she said "coincidence".
