When we got to the private room, Elaine looked at the table full of dishes and said to Aaron, "This is too much, the
three of us can't finish it, let's back off a little."
Aaron opened the red wine, while saying, "You are not a child raised in a poor family, and have not suffered
anything, what are you afraid of not eating."
He always spoke in this tone, sometimes a little middle-aged, sometimes borderline, and Elaine didn't think anything
of it, saying seriously, "Shame on you for wasting it."
"Who says I'm going to waste, I'll pack the rest and go home and eat it slowly."
Elaine: "......"
Aaron put the glass of red wine in front of her, "Come on, just eat and be happy, what are you doing thinking about
all that stuff."
He glanced at the door, "Where's your boyfriend."
Elaine said, "He's on the phone and will be right in."
"He's pretty busy."
Elaine nodded: "It's really quite busy."
Aaron sat down and spoke slowly: "Is your boyfriend also from City N."
At that, Elaine was silent, sat next to him and put the canvas bag on her shoulder on her lap: "Aaron, I actually lied
to you before, I'm not ......"
"Isn't it City N people."
Elaine froze slightly, "How did you know that."
Aaron kindly laughed and took a sip of red wine: "City H is so close to City N. If you have a City N accent, I'll know it
as soon as I hear it, but since you're not willing to say, why should I make more trouble?"
Elaine sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, that's when I ......"
"There's no need to explain, I understand."
Seeing him being so generous for once, Elaine's face lifted up in a smile and she picked up the small gift in her bag
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand pushed it to him, "I bought it for you when I was shopping this afternoon."
Aaron picked it up: "It's hard to think of me when you're spending time with your boyfriend, is he okay with that."
Elaine said, "He's okay with it, he said it suits you best."
As she spoke, Aaron unwrapped the box, a silly little pig with a runny nose.
Aaron: "......"
He said, "Where does this fit me?"
Elaine picked up the piggy and turned it over and over to look at it: "This is the last one in that store, limited edition,
so cute, if you're not my best friend, I can't even give it to you."
"...... Then I give up the spot."
Elaine laughed and tucked Piggy into his arms, "Okay, I'm going to the bathroom."
She had been out for less than two minutes when Darnell pushed in the door.
Aaron remained in that position in his chair, not even blinking.
Darnell sat across from him, looking cold and unruffled.
A silent contest gradually spreads in the booth.
Halfway through the day, Aaron picked up his glass, "Uncle Elaine, it's nice to meet you."
After the words, Aaron was about to tilt his head back and drink when Darnell spoke coldly, "You shouldn't have put
the idea in her head."
Aaron paused before he finished his drink, slowly put down his glass and replied with a smile, "I'm not quite sure
what you're talking about, Elaine and I are classmates and friends, does uncle have something against me when he
says that?"
Darnell gently raised his eyes, his tone flat: "Since you call me an uncle, it seems that I should visit your parents."
The smile on Aaron's face disappeared little by little, and he looked at him expressionlessly.
In the private room, once again fell into a dead silence.
Elaine pushed open the door of the private room and vaguely felt the suffocation.
She thinks that it should be Aaron who is talking nonsense and Darnell who is not talking.
It led to an awkward atmosphere.
She sat next to Darnell and was trying to think of something to say to liven things up when Aaron said, "Look, you
can get full just watching."
Elaine bristled, picked up her chopsticks, put a dish in her mouth, then her eyes lit up, then looked at Darnell and
pointed, "This is delicious!"
Darnell poured her a glass of water, "Got it, eat."
Aaron propped one hand on the tabletop, resting his cheek as he watched them, wondering what he was thinking.
Elaine was the most engrossed in the meal, without any distractions.
She started out trying to find something to talk about, but every time she opened her mouth, she was interrupted
either by Aaron or Darnell.
In the back she simply concentrated on eating.
I have to say, Aaron is really good at this aspect of food, and every dish tonight is to her liking.
It even gave her the ideathat she must come back to City H again.
When Aaron finished eating, he called the waiter for the check, but the waiter looked to Darnell: "This gentleman
has already checked out."
Aaron frowned slightly: "Can't you see it's my treat, let him knot what."
Darnell got up and spoke lightly, "That's what uncle should do."
Aaron: "......"
He's addicted to taking advantage of him, isn't he?
Elaine looked at Aaron and saw that he didn't look very good, he could be described as stiff.
What did these two people say before, and how did ...... uncle again?

Darnell side-eyed, "Elaine, go away."
Elaine came back to her senses and said "oh oh" twice, then waved towards Aaron: "Thank you for today, we are
leaving, next time you come to South ...... Riverside City, I will treat you Next time you come to South Riverside City,
I will treat you to something delicious."
After saying that, she quickly followed Darnell's footsteps and ran out of the booth.
Aaron body back, leaning back in the back of the chair, mumbled: "Thank me for what, it's not like I gave the
money."
He sat for a while, and then picked up the piggy that Elaine had just given her, and couldn't help but lose a little
smile, this is more like her, right?
When he left the restaurant, Darnell's assistant approached him.
Darnell stopped in his tracks, "Elaine, get in the car first."
Realizing that they had something to say, Elaine answered and trotted forward.
The assistant said: "Master of Riverside, have checked, the neighborhood, including the entire restaurant, there is
no abnormal, the Barret family side is the same, and continue to send people to keep an eye on."
Darnell faded: "No, pull everyone back and go back to Riverside City."
The assistant was stunned, and without waiting for his reaction, Darnell had already lifted his legs and left.
When the assistant looked at the restaurant again, Aaron happened to come out, met his eyes, smiled very
innocently and turned around to get into his car.
Back at the hotel, Elaine began to pack her things, she and Darnell shopping today bought a lot of gadgets, the
people under the staff are now sent over.
After loading the suitcase, she turned her head to look at Darnell: "What did you and Aaron say today?"
Darnell put the phone down and rubbed her head, "It's nothing."
Elaine said, "Then when he goes to Riverside City later, I should be able to invite him to dinner, right?"
"Yes."
Elaine sniffed and happily jumped into his arms, "Then let's go, home."
