Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 31 Treat at a Sky-High Price

Seeing Cason’s gloomy expression, Kaliyah became alert as a satisfied smile appeared on her

face.

“I didn’t expect Ms. Easton to know Mr. Gage. Before, I was worried that after the divorce, she would be

alone and live a bad life. But now it seems that under Mr. Gage’s care, Ms. Easton’s life in Seattle won’t

be too bad in the future.”

As Cason looked at the gentle and kind Kaliyah, the coldness in his eyes gradually faded.

Kaliyah was always so kind. The only person who deserved to spend the rest of her life with him

was Kaliyah.

He thought the reason why he felt frustrated was that Ainsley, who had always been submissive to him,

was talking and laughing with another man.

He believed that due to his possessiveness as a man, he felt uncomfortable. After all, Ainsley had once

belonged to him.

Cason gently kissed Kaliyah on the forehead and held her hand. “Don’t worry. I’ll be with you.

forever.”

Ainsley and the other two had just taken their seats in the private room when a man wearing a black chef

uniform with a bunch of badges hanging on his chest walked in with a golden chef hat

in his hand.

“Mr. Gage, you’re here? I’ve recently developed a lot of dishes. This time, you must have a try…”

He paused for a moment, feeling a little surprised. “Ms. Easton? You’re here too!”

Ainsley had also heard of the rules and levels of Pearl Hotel.

The worst chef here had also received a five-star chef certificate internationally, but he could only get

promoted step by step.

The man in the black chef uniform and the golden chef hat was a top chef at Pearl Hotel. Not everyone

could easily see him.

Besides, one dish was so expensive.

Even so, many people still wanted to eat here.

Ainsley did not expect to see Roman here.

But anyway, how could a mediocre chief be qualified to serve Manuel?

She nodded and greeted, “Roman, nice to see you again.”

Roman looked at Manuel with a meaningful look.

He did not expect that Manuel would take girls to eat here so quickly.

Sure enough, Manuel was done with being single for years.

Ignoring his look, Manuel opened the menu and placed it in front of Ainsley, explaining, “Today is

Ms. Easton’s treat. The first dish should be ordered by Ms. Easton.”

Roman was even more shocked and glared at Manuel. What?

How could he ask a girl out like this?

Didn’t Manuel know how expensive the dishes were in Pearl Hotel?

He was generous and lived an extravagant life usually. But now, he became mean when dating a

girl.

Was he crazy?

Without noticing their gaze, Ainsley was flipping through the menu. Meanwhile, Manuel’s clear voice

floated over, “Ms. Easton, you can try crisp beef, grilled fish, and fish tacos here.”

“Mr. Gage, you seem to know my taste very well.” He recommended three dishes in a row, all of

which were famous.

Manuel chuckled, his gaze clear and gentle. “Ms. Easton, I saw you liked eating ***foods during

the meal that day.”

Dumbfounded, Ainsley didn’t expect him to be so careful.

This man was considerate.

However/was he so considerate to everyone?

“Then I’ll listen to Mr. Gage.” She closed the menu without looking at it anymore.

But Ainsley did not know that any dish that Roman cooked as the top chef here would cost more than 16

thousand dollars.

Roman once again cursed Manuel in his heart.

Since Ainsley had been in charge of housework for the past few years, she did not have her assets.

Now that she had just divorced, how much money could Cason give her?

Usually, he was very happy to earn money from Manuel. But he liked Ainsley so much. How could

he be willing to let her pay so much?

Anyway, he had earned enough money, so he didn’t need to earn money from Ainsley.

He thought, later, I’ll ask the manager to give Ainsley a huge discount.

Noticing Roman’s absent-mindedness, Ainsley understood what he was thinking and then said

frankly, “There’s no need to make an exception for me. The price should be the same.”

She could afford a meal.

Without expecting that, Roman felt that Ainsley was extremely good. Meanwhile, he was speechless to

Manuel.

“Fine. Ms. Easton, if you come next time, I will treat you!”

After Roman left, Manuel had already slowly helped Ainsley clean up the wet towel and cutlery in

front of her.

The clean tableware was neatly arranged according to her eating habits. A strange feeling passed

through Ainsley’s heart.

She came back to her senses and wanted to thank Manuel, but Manuel interrupted her in a clear and low

voice, “Ms. Easton, you’ve worked hard to take care of my sister today. I’m sorry for making you treat us

to dinner tonight.”

Serina tilted her head. “This meal is not cheap. Manuel, you have to treat Ainsley to a few meals in

return!”

Ever since she had inquired about Manuel’s intentions in the car that day, Serina had made up her mind

to help Manuel. After seeing Ainsley a few times, she became firmer and firmer.

At this time, a group of people passed by outside the door, and the sound of laughter reached the

private room.

Serina’s big eyes rolled around as she stood up and walked out. “I just heard my classmate’s voice.

Manuel, Ainsley, I’ll go over and say hello. You guys go ahead.”

I hope that Ainsley can become Manuel’s girlfriend tonight, thought Serina.

There were only Ainsley and Manuel left in the room, as well as the embarrassment.
