Chapter 82

As time went on, the atmosphere became increasingly awkward. Thankfully, the waiter happened to deliver the food at this moment.

Only after serving everyone and pouring them each a glass of wine did the waiter finally leave.

Feeling more inclined to ignore her tablemates, Veronica took a huge gulp of her wine and prepared to begin eating, only to realize that Xavier had placed a large chunk of pork shoulder on her plate.

“You’re too thin. Put some meat on your bones.” Like a good man, he was gentle, attentive, and incomparably delicate.

“Thank you.” Without further pomp and ceremony, Veronica picked up the hunk of meat and began to eat. The meat was tender, juicy, and fragrant, melting on her

tongue the moment it entered her mouth. In short, it was exquisite.

While it was expensive, she had to admit it was truly very delicious.

Instantly, she was in a better mood. “It’s fantastic, Xavier. You should try some yourself.” So eager to share the tastiness of the meat with him was she that she reached out with her own cutlery to fetch him some from the common platter. “Try it!” With that, she looked expectantly at him, waiting for his evaluation.

Veronica was clearly coming from the perspective of a foodie eager to share something delicious with a friend, but her actions caused Xavier to pause before nodding with a happy smile. “Alright, I’ll try it.”

The problem was that he had completely overthought her actions and assumed she liked him.

Meanwhile, Matthew watched on and his eyes flashed coldly. In the end, he picked up his glass of red wine to down it in one go.

After chewing the pork and tasting it carefully, Xavier nodded once again. “You’re right; it’s very good. Have some more too.”

As he reached out to get some for her, Veronica interrupted, “I can do it myself.”

With that, she served herself some pork and began to eat heartily.

To a foodie like her, such tasty meat was too good to pass off.
