The Author's POV

Chapter 398

"I'd like to have this please."

Sitting inside a restaurant, Amanda could hear Ren's voice coming from in front of her. He was currently ordering a meal.

"Yeah, I want this and this."

He pointed at the menu on the table.

"This one looks interesting too."

After ordering a couple more meals, lifting his head he looked at her.

"What about you? Did you order already?"

"Mhm."

Amanda nodded her head.

She had already ordered beforehand. Unlike him, she only needed one meal to be full.

"Oh, I see."

Ren nodded in understanding.

He then turned towards the waitress.

"I guess that's all."

With a simple nod, the elven waitress left.

Staring at the back of the waitress, Ren leaned back on his chair.

"Who would've thought that they had restaurants here too."

The place they were currently in was one of the most famous restaurants in Issanor. Ren chose this place.

The internal design of the place gave off a calm and tranquil feeling with simple yet elegant designs. Plants appeared all over the place, and a wispy scent of lavender lingered in the air.

"How is Nola doing?"

Whilst absorbed by the environment, Ren's voice suddenly reached her ears.

Turning her head, she answered.

"She misses you."

Amanda proceeded to take a sip of her drink. It was the same honeydew they served back at the hall.

"Is that so?"

"Mhm. She always talks about you."

"..I see, looks like she hasn't forgotten about me."

Lifting her head, Amanda could vividly feel the relief in his voice.

Nodding her head, she took another sip of her drink.

"I bring her to the guild from time to time when your parents are at work."

"At the guild?"

"…she likes the place quite a lot."

Maxwell, her butler was especially attached to her. Thinking about it, a smile crept upon her face.

"You must really like Nola."

A smile soon emerged on Ren's face as he looked at her. The smile didn't last for long however as he soon lowered his head.

"How old is she now? Four? Five? It's been a while since I had last seen her. If only…"

"It's okay."

Amanda reassured.

Pursing her lips, she put her drink down.

She wasn't the best person to ask when it came to relationships, but from having interacted with Nola long enough, she knew that Nola did not resent him in any way for not being there.

"Just make up for it later."

"Make it up?"

"Spend time with her later."

"...I don't know if I'll have time in the future."

"Ah."

Staring at Ren, an idea suddenly struck Amanda.
