Everyone was supposed to eat together.
However, ever since they started, it was only Beanie who was eating.
Vera was so angry that she had no appetite. She wanted to fight with Quill, but he gave her no reaction. She had nowhere to vent out her anger.
It was like punching hard, but hitting a ball of cotton. It didn't hurt you, but it didn't help you feel better either. Therefore, she did not eat anything. Sheridan persuaded her several times, but she simply said, "Thank you, but I don't have much of an appetite. You can eat." He wanted to eat, since he had never had these dishes before. Moreover, it would be a waste if he didn't eat the food he paid for.
He tried to persuade Vera to eat because he thought that he would lose face if he ate alone. However, no matter how hard he tried, she wouldn't give in. He gave up and started eating. Quill, like Vera, did not eat at all.
He had only been drinking tea since he chere, and he had not eaten any of the dishes in front of him. There was a ghastly expression on his face, and his emotions were concealed. Who knew how long it would take for this to be over. Vera couldn't sit still anymore.
Beanie only stopped eating when he was so full that he was about to blow. Then, he carefully peeked over at Quill.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Uncle Quill, I'm full." Quill's eyes were indifferent, as he glanced at the boy. He pursed his lips and remained silent.
Beanie showed a pitiful expression, and held his bulging belly.
"I really can't eat anymore." It was the first the'd seen such a serious look on Quill's face. It was so frightening. He really wanted to go hand find his mother! Quill was angry, but when he saw the little guy putting his hands on his tummy, he realized something. "Then don't force yourself." He was still a child. He had silently eaten so much, so he must've learnt his lesson.
Moreover, he would not be able to explain it to Minerva if Beanie had any stomach issues.
Beanie finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting Quill's approval. He bent over the table and said, "Thank you, Uncle." Finally, he could stop eating. If he had continued eating, his stomach would burst.
Sheridan was the only one left eating.
He really could eat a lot, and he would make sounds when he ate. Although everyone had their own eating habits, he should've still minded himself when he was in public. Vera also did not expect him to be like this, but she was not in the mood to bother.
Everyone was waiting for him to finish.
Beanie asked, "Mr. Lewis, are you that hungry?" Only then did Sheridan realize that he had been too absorbed in eating. He stopped in embarrassment and wiped his mouth with a napkin, revealing a decent smile again.
"I'm not hungry. I just don't want to waste the food." Oh, it was a virtue not to waste food. Beanie did not have anything else to say.
When the waiter cin with the bill, Sheridan immediately said, "I'll pay the bill!" Vera was sending money on anon her phone. She saw that there was an opened bottle of wine, so it would definitely be impossible to return it. It wouldn't be cheap. Fortunately, she could send money online.
She wouldn't let Quill pay for the meal, no matter what.
However, she was still processing things on thewhen Sheridan, who was right beside her, unexpectedly stood up and generously offered to pay.
Beanie blinked and smiled at him.
"Mr. Lewis, thank you for treatingto a meal." "You're welcome. Don't mention it. How much is it?" Sheridan asked.
After the waiter read out the amount, he froze and did not react for a long time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You, what did you say just now?" "Sir, the amount is a total of 38,688 dollars." Sheridan said, "Didn't you say that the minimum was 5,000 dollars? Where did the other 30,000 dollars cfrom?" "Sir, this bottle of red wine is worth about 30,000 dollars." Sheridan exclaimed, "When did we open a bottle of red wine? Why didn't I know?" He took a look, and saw a bottle of red wine on the table. It did seem very expensive. What wine was this? Why was it so expensive? Where was he going to find over 30,000 dollars? He didn't have much savings at all. Sheridan's face turned pale as he thought about this.
"Can that bottle of red wine be returned? We haven't had a sip at all," Sheridan asked.
"I'm sorry, sir. Once the bottle is opened, it can't be returned." "Why can't I return it? We really haven't drunk it. You... You can just take it back and wrap it up again." "I really can't do that, sir..." While Sheridan was arguing with the waiter, Quill handed over a card and said, "Sorry for the trouble." The waiter took the card and ran out quickly.
"You, why did you... Didn't I say that I'll pay?" When Sheridan saw that Quill was the one who paid, he suddenly felt bad. He could only try his best to salvage a little pride "None of us touched the bottle of red wine, but you paid for it anyway. Isn't that very wasteful? Why would we want to pay for that?" Quill explained in a low voice.
"Red wine can't be returned once it is opened. You'll still have to pay in the end, no matter what you say." Sheridan went quiet.
"Yes, Mr. Lewis. Thank you for wanting to treatto a meal. Thank you for your kindness."
Beanie's words sounded very sarcastic. Sheridan saw the look in his eye and felt that he had been om insincere. Soon Vera transferred 40,000 dollars to Beanie's bank account, then looked up and spoke to him. "Beanie, I've transferred the money to your bank account. Remember to check it and helppay it back." Sheridan felt that he could make a comeback, when he heard what she said. He turned to her with a smile and said, "I should treat you. I will transfer the money to you when I get back later."
She didn't have the mood to stay anymore. She could only nod her m head and she said, have something to do in the restaurant, so I'll go first." Beanie looked gloomily at Quill after Sheridan left with Vera. "Uncle Quill, why didn't you stop Auntie Vera?" Quill paused.
Stop her?
What should he do to stop her? She had already gone on a blind date, and was going out with other men. What could he do to stop her? After taking his last sip of tea, he placed the cup on the table.
"Don't do such nonsense in the future." Beanie was unhappy. "It's not nonsense at all. Mr. Lewis isn't sincerely dating Auntie Vera. It's obvious that he has no good intentions. Besides, she likes velWhy would she want to be with someone else?" Quill did not answer.
Beanie added, "You really shouldn't have denied it. Then that bad guy would have left Auntie Vera alone." "And then?" Quill looked at him and said, "After he left, what if he had gossiped about her and ruined her reputation?" X
