Shattered Longings

Chapter 100 Coincidental

Felix took the cake knife and cut the cake into four slices. “I’m paying for dinner tonight. Think of it as my birthday gift to you. I’ve already booked a table at The Vista.”

The Vista was the fanciest restaurant in town.

Bella thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know. It’s my birthday, so I should be paying. But since you’ve already made the reservation, let’s go.”

Lia’s eyes widened with excitement. “I’m really looking forward to trying the food at The Vista. I’ve heard it’s amazing.”

After a quick slice of cake, the group headed to The Vista in Felix’s car.

Felix looked a bit sorry and said, “I tried to get a private room, but they were all booked. I only managed to get a table by the window. It might not be super private, but the view is great.”

In a restaurant like this, whether in a private room or the main area, it was usually quiet. People who liked private rooms often valued having their own space.

After they sat down, Bella handed the menu to her friends and said, “Order whatever you like. Don’t worry about the price. I don’t have any expensive taste, so a single meal is no big deal.”
