Chapter 81

Standing in front of Veronica, Xavier couldn’t help pausing for a moment as he studied her pale, delicate face. “So, this is the real you.”

No doubt, the phrase ‘natural beauty’ referred to women like her.

Veronica’s natural appearance, without her freckles and dark complexion, was so pure and beautiful that it made his heart race even to the point of swooning.

Mmhmm. There’s no need for me to pretend to be ugly in the future.” She chuckled at that.

In response, Xavier inclined his head. “Good. You look better like this anyway. Women should be prettier and more delicate.”

“Is that so? Ha!

“You look too thin, though. Come on. Let me take you for a meal.” With that, he grabbed her hand and led her in the direction of the One Piece Restaurant.

Although it was a chain restaurant, the One Piece Restaurant was costly and not open to non-members. Even if an ordinary person were to enter the restaurant, they would not be able to secure a table.

After entering the establishment, the duo went to sit down at a table next by the window on the second floor, whereupon they began ordering.

Yet, it was the cheapest dish.

The starting price for other dishes like the pigeon stew or pork shoulder was upwards of 600 apiece.
