Raphael smiled faintly and said, “You flatter me. In my opinion, Mr. Calhoun is the one who’s truly exceptional.”

Gracie blushed a little, then looped her arm through Owen’s, leaning into him like a little bird, and said, “Miss Dalton, since your boyfriend’s here too, why don’t we all have a meal together? It’s fate that we’ve run into each other.”

Hailey was about to decline, but Raphael took her hand and smiled casually. “Of course, that sounds great.”

Hailey frowned slightly, confused, and looked at Raphael.

Owen didn’t say anything but was the first to turn and walk toward the restaurant.

Gracie, on the other hand, took charge and walked over to Hailey, hooking her arm around hers. “Let’s go together. I don’t want to hang around with these two grumpy men.”

Hailey smiled politely but didn’t respond.

Raphael followed behind them, walking at a leisurely pace.

The four of them ascended to the second floor of the restaurant and entered a private dining room.

Owen sat first, with Gracie beside him. Raphael sat next to Gracie, and Hailey’s seat was between Raphael and Owen.

The waiter brought over the menus.

Hailey preferred stronger flavors, so Raphael ordered some spicy dishes. Owen, on the other hand, ordered light, mild foods.

After Owen finished ordering, Gracie’s face twisted with dissatisfaction. “How do you never remember what I like to eat?”

Owen glanced at her coolly. “Didn’t you forget last time you had barbecue and got mouth ulcers?”

Gracie lowered her head, looking slightly pitiful. “It’s not like I can control my body’s tendency to get overheated.”

Owen shrugged. “Then just control yourself and eat less spicy food.”

“Humph.” Gracie pouted, turning her head away in a huff.
