Generally, Carlos was a decisive man. He would order the dishes and arrange everything in advance if he was taking someone out for dinner.
But he didn’t remember what Debbie liked due to his memory loss, so he had to let her make the decision herself.
Without looking at the menu, Debbie told the manager outright, “Please ask your chefs to cook their specialty dishes. We’ll have six vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes, a pot of soup, and srice. And please don’t make them too greasy or spicy. We’d like it light and healthy.”

Carlos was moved at first, but when he heard her last words, his face fell. He shook his head helplessly and said, “Whatever, a man is supposed to treat a woman well.” Moreover, she was his ex-wife. Even though he didn*t know what exactly had happened between them in the past, he felt an obligation to treat her properly.
Touched by his words, Debbie held on to his arm and rested her cheek on it.
“You have said those swords tobefore. It’s so true that a leopard never changes its spots.” ‘Even though he has lost his memory, he still treatsso well. Thank God!’ she thought, sensing a pleasant ache in her chest.
*A Leopard never changes its spots? Are you sure you are praising me?’
