Chapter 1741

Karina handed the menu to Wilfred. "Take a look and let me know if there's anything you can't eat."

Wilfred's reply was brief. "No."

Relieved, Karina took the menu back and carefully selected a few dishes she could afford within her current budget. "How about this?" Wilfred glanced at the choices.

Karina flushed, realizing he had seen right through her. She had indeed chosen the dishes based on what she thought he would like.
