Chapter 1096 You Like Lucas Very Much
Alivia finally understood that the crabs they had eaten before were probably prepared and not as authentic as this.
She couldn't help but marvel at the extreme differences between the truly wealthy and ordinary people in the
world.
Even so, she still took Lucas' crab and carefully separated the meat for him. She asked the owner for scissors and
meticulously picked out the white flesh, saying, "There you go, this is how you eat it."
"Thank you, Ms. Graves!" Lucas said gratefully and then thoughtfully turned to the others, "Ms. Graves, can you
help Mr. Harper too? He seems not quite adept at it."
Alivia smiled and said, "Sure."
Next to the open-air food stall was a tall street lamp, its dim light mingling with the stall's bright incandescent lights.

Alivia looked down at the crab in her hand. It was not a particularly beautiful thing, but Bert just felt that Alivia was
very beautiful at this time.
It was the most touching moment since he met her.
Alivia was completely unaware of the intense stare from the man. She was entirely focused on the crab in front of
her, putting a lot of effort into separating the meat from the shell. Once finished, she said, "There you go. You can
eat now."
When she looked up, Bert withdrew his gaze and picked up a fork. He tasted a piece of crab meat and found it
indeed delicious.
Alivia stared at him, her clear almond eyes reflecting the light from above, sparkling. "How is it? How is it? Is it
delicious?"
She eagerly sought an answer, hoping her suggestion had been acknowledged.
He spat out two words, "Not bad."
Knowing Bert, Alivia didn't expect any extravagant compliments from him. So, even with just "not bad," she felt
praised.
Feeling at ease, she picked up her own crab without bothering to separate it or use scissors. She just pulled off a leg
and directly bit into it, using her teeth to extract the meat.
While they cared about the formalities, she was more laid-back about it, thinking it didn't matter how she ate it, as
long as it was convenient for her.
One dish after another arrived, each retaining the original taste of the seafood. When it came to the fried noodles,
Bert didn't eat much, probably finding it too greasy. Alivia and Lucas had eaten a lot, and their stomachs were now
satisfied.

When they were about to pay the bill, worried that Bert might secretly pay again as he did last time, Alivia quietly
transferred the money to the boss while returning the plates.
Seeing her thoughtfulness, the boss teased her in a low voice, "It seems like you're the one in charge at home!"
She had just forgotten about the incident earlier, but now that it was mentioned, her face flushed once again. Alivia
didn't know how to explain, so she just smiled, waved her hand, and walked away.
After the meal, the three of them didn't rush back to the hotel. The beach was only a five-minute walk from the
food stall, so they strolled over to aid digestion.
To prevent Lucas from getting cold, Alivia took off her small knitted sweater and draped it over him, saying, "Be
careful not to get cold. Don't wander too far."
"I see. I'll go ahead and have a look!"
Lucas said and rushed to the front, leaving Alivia's gaze fixed on him, afraid he might get lost.
Bert caught a glimpse of her smiling expression and playfully said, "You seem to really like him."
Alivia didn't pay much attention but turned her head to look at him, asking, "What?"
