Thalia had barely taken her seat at the restaurant when Drake followed, heading to the table beside

theirs.

The adjacent table was occupied by a couple who had just arrived and were preparing to order.

Drake approached them and asked the man: “Would you mind giving up your table? I’m willing to pay.”

The couple exchanged glances.

The woman asked: “How much are you offering?”

Drake replied: “Would five thousand pounds be sufficient?”

The woman’s eyes widened slightly. “Are you serious?”

“Absolutely.” Drake opened his phone. “Show me your payment details, and I’ll transfer it now.”

The woman’s eyes lit up as she immediately displayed her payment app.

After confirming the transaction had gone through, she happily left with her boyfriend.

Drake smiled in Thalia’s direction, pulled out a chair, and sat down, leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea.

Mason watched the entire scene in disbelief.

Did that really just work?

He glanced between Thalia and Drake.

Eventually, he moved to Drake’s table and sat across from him.

Thalia had always loved several signature dishes at Clos Maggiore.

Drake deliberately sitting next to them was clearly meant to unsettle her. In the past, when she had still cared about him, such behavior would have ruined her meal completely.

But times had changed.

She no longer cared about him.

She could perfectly well treat Drake as if he were invisible.

Thalia finished ordering and asked for a chilled drink as well.

When the drink arrived, Drake suddenly spoke up: “Your period is due soon. You shouldn’t have cold

drinks.”

Thalia mentally rolled her eyes, picked up her glass, and took a few sips. Her eyes crinkled with

satisfaction.

She turned to Asher and said: “It’s been ages since I’ve had this. Still tastes the same as always. Asher, would you like to try?”

When she looked at Asher, her eyes sparkled with affection, her face wearing a sweet smile that seemed to make even the air around them feel sugary.

Asher took the glass and drank from the same straw Thalia had used.
