The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power novel Chapter 896

The rent for Kingston Apartments was not cheap, and Yulia had been relying on her savings after being sidelined recently. Going to that Western restaurant was indeed expensive and beyond her usual spending level, but she decided to bear the pain and spend more to treat her hero to a meal. After all, this was their first date, and she wanted to create a beautiful memory.

Kingsley could read her thoughts at a glance and smiled. "Actually, some things aren't based on their price. Eating at a high-end restaurant doesn't necessarily bring happiness, but there are also many beautiful memories in ordinary restaurants."

Speaking of this, he suddenly had a clever idea and subtly suggested, "How about we go to Leonardo's in the old part of town? I heard that it has been open for over thirty years and has an authentic taste."

He and Yulia had been there together before. When they were younger, Reene always held a book, and Alice always played with knives, while Victoria liked to form alliances with children on the street. However, Amanda didn't like to talk and always remained alone, only showing a sweet smile whenever she was with him.

Yulia and Courtney were both foodies, though; their eyes lit up when they saw something delicious. Although they didn't have much money back then, Courtney could always get some snacks in exchange for the trinkets she made, so she became a little chubby. Yulia, on the other hand, loved to eat but strangely never gained weight. Instead, the more she ate, the better her figure became, like a perfect work of art.

The Spaghetti Bolognese in this Leonardo's was one of Yulia's favorite foods. When she was seven, she had secretly run away from the welfare home with five-year-old Kingsley and somehow ended up at the pasta restaurant. The two poor children had taken out their only two dollars and asked the owner if they could have something to eat.

The owner was a man in his forties, and after seeing how cute they were, he nodded. "Perfect timing. Two dollars for two plates of Spaghetti Bolognese."

Since then, she would bring Kingsley here for pasta when she had money saved up. Sometimes, the owner would even give them free drinks, or he would only charge them one dollar. The reason it wasn't free was simply because she refused to take advantage of others.

That was how Leonardo's became the most profound memory Kingsley and Yulia shared. Thus, her expression froze for a moment when she heard him say that he wanted to go to Leonardo's for pasta, and she thought of her long-lost brother.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've been there too," she said with a hint of disappointment. "I wonder if it's still the same as before..."

He smiled slightly. "We'll know once we go and see."

They drove to the old town area, and Kingsley parked the car directly by the road. The old town area hadn't seen any new development for a long time, so the parking spaces were very irregular, and both sides of the road were filled with parked cars. He couldn't find a better parking spot, so he had to park the car by the roadside as well.

"Leonardo's..." Yulia looked at the refurbished sign and felt a pang of nostalgia. Ten years had passed, and this place had been renovated.

"Let's go, Miss Ansley. I'm starving." He took her hand and walked toward the pasta restaurant.

Although it was mealtime, there were only three tables occupied. He led her to a table by the wall and loudly called out, "Sir, we're ready to order!"

The kitchen of the small pasta restaurant was connected to the dining area, and there was only a half-curtain hanging on the small door between them. A young man wearing an apron lifted the curtain after hearing Kingsley's words and walked out, wiping his hands with a cloth before greeting them warmly. "There's a menu on the table, so please take a look and let me know what you'd like to eat."
