Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 843

Morgan dragged Elaine to dinner by 'force'.

In the small town, not many restaurants were up to par with Vincent's standards in terms of cleanliness.

Even after driving around, there weren't any fine restaurants to be seen.

Feeling disappointed, Vincent frowned.

Leaning her head against the window, Elaine suddenly exclaimed, "Wait! I saw a good place! Morgan, over there!"

Looking out of the window, Morgan saw the small restaurant in the alley.

Usually, these kinds of restaurants served cheap and unhealthy food in big portions.

Knowing Vincent, Morgan knew he would refuse to enter the restaurant.

Before Vincent could reject, he asked, "Miss Jacob, why don't we look for another place..."

"Let's go."

Before Morgan could finish his words, Vincent interrupted him.

To confirm he hadn't misheard him, Morgan asked again, "Sir, are you sure you want to have dinner there?"

When Vincent gave him a glance, Morgan quickly nodded his head. "Y-yes, sir..."

The restaurant appeared to be how Morgan had imagined. It was a little small and crowded, but at least the place looked neat.

Although Vincent said that he wanted to go there, his brows were knitted from the moment he got out of the car.

Morgan knew him well. Judging from his obsession with cleanliness, he would stay here for no more than five minutes at most...

Before entering the restaurant, Morgan suggested, "Miss Jacob, why don't we just buy the food from here and have it at the hotel?"

"Why should we? Let's just eat here." With a smile, Elaine pulled out a chair and sat on it. "But you guys can head back first if you want to. I'll be eating here."

Staring into her eyes, Vincent could tell she was trying to provoke him. Snorting, he took a seat opposite her. "You're trying to mess with me, aren't you? I won't let you win."

Hearing that, Elaine stiffened.

Seeing her reaction, Vincent curled his lips into a smug smile.

Staring hard back at him, Elaine called for the shop owner, "Excuse me!"

Hearing her customer calling, a lady with simple clothing walked over to take their order, "What would you guys like to eat?"

"Your signature noodles are the best! I'll have one of that, please. I haven't eaten your noodles in so many years!" After placing her order, she turned to ask Morgan, "What do you feel like having, Morgan?"

Since he had never been to a place like this before, he politely asked, "Could you recommend me something, Miss Jacob?"

"Sure!"

Turning her head back towards the lady, Elaine ordered the same thing for him.

After taking down their orders, the shop owner scanned the table. Having lived in the village all her life, she seldom got to see such classy people in the village.

Especially the man dressed in such fine clothing who looked suave, polished, and charming. One could tell that he was from a noble and wealthy family at first glance.

Why would someone like him visit her small restaurant in the village?

Noticing that the younger man remained silent even after the other two on the table had taken their orders, she asked politely, "Sir, may I take your order?"

Looking at Elaine, Vincent uttered, "Decide for me."

Initially, she wanted to refuse, but when an idea suddenly struck her head, she asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Alright then," nodding her head, Elaine ordered the same thing as well for him.

"Alright, let me repeat your orders. Three plates of noodles and two side dishes." After jotting down their orders, the shop owner went back to the kitchen.

Feeling a little worried, Morgan asked, "Miss Jacob, is the food here clean?"

"Don't worry, Morgan. I've been eating here for three years throughout high school and had never got a stomachache. Even though the shop is a little small, the boss is a kind person. She never serves rotten food to customers."

Curious, Morgan asked again, "Have you always eaten out when you were young?"

"Yeah. When I was in high school, my parents liked to gamble, so they never made dinner. We always had to eat out."

Elaine started working during the summer holidays since middle school. She would then give half of her earnings to her parents while she saved the other half. On days when her parents didn't cook, she would use her savings to eat out.

Since the food here was cheap, she spent money on most of her meals here throughout her high school days.

"After I got accepted to college and started working in the city, I never had the chance to eat these anymore. Sometimes, I miss the food here..."

Putting on a confident smile, Elaine boasted, "Trust me, it's good! You'll know in a minute."

Seeing her reaction, Morgan laughed as well, "I believe in your taste, Miss Jacob."
