Chapter 54 Don’t Like Sweets

As everyone’s eyes were fixed on Catherine, she walked alongside Branden and entered the restaurant.

The interior design of the restaurant matched the style of the building, exuding an elegant and unique ambiance that transported people to a foreign country.

Catherine glanced at the dishes containing mussels and fish, which appeared appetizing and pleasing to her.
