Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 43 Care

“What the f*ck is wrong with you two? I was only asking how he became disabled, that’s all! Why are you all freaking out like this?” Mitch yelled after a brief pause.

Benjamin, who was sitting next to him, pulled him back onto his chair and topped up his plate with a chunk of meat. “Eat your food and shut up!”

“Yeah, your brain could use a little more nourishment!” James chimed in as well.

Dominic’s threat was a lot more intimidating. “One more word out of you, and you’ll end up like this meat right here!”

Shannon and I couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement when we saw Mitch’s expression after being shut down by three people at once.

James then called for the waiter to bring him a menu before ordering more dishes.

When you see guys dressed in classy business suits like these, you’d automatically associate them with fine dining in fancy restaurants… Still, for some reason, I find the sight of them sitting here at a barbecue joint rather heartwarming…

I was lost in thought as I looked at the four of them.

Shannon jabbed at my arm under the table and asked, “Where did you find these four handsome men? You’ve been getting really lucky with guys after breaking up with Julius!”

I simply rolled my eyes at her in response. Shannon had been obsessed with men ever since her close encounter with Nicholas the other day, and that obsession seemed to have worsened to the point of no return.

Regardless, I had to admit that having a meal with such handsome men was quite a pleasant experience. It would be perfect if the jerk Dominic wasn’t present.

The four of them were waiting in a row behind me at the checkout, and the boss was so charmed by their looks that she gave me a 20% discount on our total bill.

Wow, having handsome men around does have its perks!
