Chapter 13: Tina, are you trying to murder your own husband?

Tina's gaze grew slightly stern, her cool eyes fixating on him for a moment before she took a seat across from him. Then she said to the waiter, "Bring us the most expensive dish from every category on the menu."

The waiter was taken aback and kindly reminded her, "Miss, our hotel offers over a hundred dishes, and each is quite expensive. Since there are only two of you, isn't that a bit much?"

Tina lifted her gaze, her red lips curving into a faint smile, her delicate and slender finger pointing at Jared across the table, her voice melodious, "Then let's start with the three signature dishes, and have the rest packed and sent to Pinkwater Ally. He'll pick up the tab."

The waiter looked towards Jared.

Jared, with a smile lurking at the corner of his lips, took out a bank card and handed it to the waiter, "As she says."

With a nod, the waiter left.

Soon, all three dishes were served.

Tina didn't hesitate to start eating.

Jared poured her a drink and then filled his own glass with wine, raising it to say, "Miss Reed, I owe you my thanks for saving me at Serenity Ridge last time."

He didn't mention any repayment.

He could almost guess that once he offered repayment, this girl would surely demand the cancellation of their engagement as her due.

Tina's eyes lifted slightly, narrowing into a smile, "As for repayment, just cancel the engagement."

Jared, "..."

His handsome face almost couldn't maintain composure for a moment!

Could this girl read minds?

"Indeed, a repayment is due," Jared said, taking a sip of his wine, his voice smooth and lingering, "How about I offer myself in marriage instead?" "Not interested!"

Tina's gaze appraised Jared, whose good looks were quite appealing-shame about the lack of modesty!

"Then..." Jared took out the pendant again, his long fingers caressing it, still maintaining his gentle composure, "What if I exchange this pendant for your agreement to our engagement?" Tina's expression darkened, a coldness enveloping her exquisite face, "Are you threatening me?"
