Chapter 118

“Married people only have eyes for their wives.” Lewis‘ words made sense.

“There’s too much for me to finish, let’s eat together.” Doris pulled Lola along.

“I’m full from the dog food.” Lola pushed Doris out from behind the counter towards Lewis. “Go do PDA somewhere else.”

Lewis accepted Lola’s kindness, saying to Doris, “Let’s sit over there for a while.”

He picked up the Riverside Canteen paper bag, and Doris followed him to a corner table for two.

Lewis gallantly pulled out a chair for Doris. He then sat down, taking out the takeout boxes from the paper bag: one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and a clam chowder.

“I can’t finish all this by myself.” Doris looked at the generous portions. “Have you eaten?”

“I’ve eaten.” Lewis had just had lunch with Ivan at Riverside Canteen and brought her some food to check on her.

Today was the first day of trial operation for Loris Cafe; with discounts and Lola’s connections, business was sure to be good.

He had Daniel check, and the shop was bustling, they were too busy to touch the ground.

He had thought if business was slow, he would have Daniel order coffee for everyone at Hartman Group, but seeing how busy they were, he decided against it.

And Doris, being so busy, might not eat properly, so he naturally had to come and supervise her.

“Where’s your sister?” Lewis opened the rice box.

“She left at five to pick up Ari and go home.” Doris unwrapped her fork.

Doris ate with her head down, occasionally glancing up at Lewis across from her.

He just stared at her, saying nothing.

Doris felt uncomfortable under his gaze. “Can you not keep staring at me?”

“Can’t I keep looking at my own wife?” Lewis retorted.

“How can I eat like this?” Doris felt pressured.
