<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Let’s eat first,” the owner suggested.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The group made their way to the restaurant on the first floor. The dining table wasden with simple, homely dishes that, despite their simplicity, looked incredibly appetizing.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric spoke up. “We’ll eat here today, and tomorrow we’ll climb the mountains to set up tents for camping.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Thedies were all quite pleased with his arrangements.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, not long after, a series of exquisite meals were delivered from the foot of the mountain.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary said, “Eric, it wouldn’t be fair to have you host alone, so I ordered some food.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric’s eyes curved delightfully, and upon removing his mask, his mixed–race features became particrly striking.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right then, I won’t hold myself back.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary didn’t like the way he was acting.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After finishing their meal, he pulled Nathaniel aside and privately warned, “Nathaniel, you need to be careful. This Eric… his looks are really something…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It was hard to describe, but Zachary used Calvin as a metaphor.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“He’s even more handsome than Calvin, and crucially, he doesn’t look a day over twenty–five.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before his memory loss, and even after, Nathaniel had never seen what Eric really looked like.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">That was because when Eric returned to his homnd for the first time, he had already lost his sight.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It’s only normal for a male celebrity to be good–looking, there’s nothing to worry about.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel deeply felt that as long as Cecilia was not foolish, she would understand who between him and Eric was the more reliable one.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">For a celebrity like Eric, his world could be pretty chaotic.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You’re right. Nathaniel, I was being petty just now.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">You can be petty” Nathaniel said earnestly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary was somewhat confused.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel had already stopped talking to him instead, he turned to Mason and said, “Let’s settle all the expenses here for today!</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He certainly didn’t want to be in d of favors.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Indeed Mason nodded.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In truth, even if Nathaniel hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldh</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The owner stared at the seven–digit check, momentarily stunned. He wasn’t short on cash, but he had never seen anyone spend sovishly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He pulled Eric aside and showed him the check.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Your one night stay provided me with over a year’s worth of expenses.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With a smile, Eric reassured, “It’s fine, just keep it. You know I don’t have any money to give you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Haha, you cheeky one, who’s asking for your money? We’re family.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Thanks, Uncle.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Joking aside, Eric’s uncle gave him a piece of advice. “Listen to me: don’t offend these people, but don’t get too close either. And as for those girls–just forget about them.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Just a moment ago, Eric’s uncle was also curious to see if his future niece–inw was among them.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After observing for a while, he discovered that all of them were already taken..</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Moreover, their partners were far from ordinary.</font></font>
“Don’t worry, I get it.”
Eric knew better than anyone else what he truly desired.
After they had their meal, everyone resumed capturing the various scenic views. As the sun set in the west, the beauty was further enhanced by the reflection of the redbuds covering the mountain.
While everyone was engrossed in their activities, Cecilia approached Nathaniel, asking him, “Howe you’re here? Also, how did you know we were here?”
Eric had sent them this location.
Could it be that Nathaniel had nted a spy by her side?
Nathaniel shamelessly betrayed Elliot.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Elliot asked me toe over, he said he wanted the four of us to be together.”
Since it was Elliot’s doing, Cecilia choked up and couldn’t bring herself to utter any words of me.
“From a young age, Elliot always had a sense of insecurity. When we were overseas in the past, he never voiced it out, but I knew, both he and Jonathan longed for a father. You’ve lost your memory and can’t recall many things now. I hope you can show a bit of patience and treat them both kindly.
