Seeing Belinda's adorable face, Ellinor hesitated but couldn't resist. She nodded, "Alright, let's go together then."
Belinda was over the moon with Ellinor's consent. "I knew you'd take me along, Ellinor. Haha!"
Theo's face clouded over as their duo suddenly became a trio. He turned to Ellinor, "Weren't you just inviting me out to eat?"
Ellinor gave an exasperated reply, "Having one more person only adds an extra set of cutlery, Theo. Don't be such a tightwad!"
Belinda chimed in, "Exactly, Theo! I'm family! Can't believe you're being stingy even with me. You’re not even willing to bring me along for a meal?"
Theo gazed at her with a stern look, "If you're coming along, then sit down and behave!"
After being scolded by Theo, Belinda quickly returned to her seat.
Theo stepped on the gas, and the car quickly left the Blanchet Building.
...
After ordering a few signature dishes, Ellinor passed the menu to Belinda to order.
Belinda had no qualms about adding a few dishes she wanted, and she also ordered drinks.
Once Belinda had ordered, Ellinor took the menu back and handed it to Theo, "Theo, is there anything else you'd like?"
Theo glanced at the menu and didn't take it. He scoffed, "Do I need to order anything?"
