Chapter 65: Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 32.2
Although Hode appeared calm, he couldn't help but tap his fingers on the table.
He genuinely didn't expect Wanda to arrive early.
He couldn't imagine the fireworks that would erupt if Gwen and Wanda were to meet.
Plus, he noticed right away that this was a couple's restaurant.
Even if he wanted to explain the situation, it would be quite difficult.
To make matters worse, he had also booked a window seat.
If she found out he was having dinner with another girl while agreeing to meet her, she would definitely flip out!
Thinking of this made his head ache. Did all girls nowadays prefer to dine in the same places?
"Do you want to try the vegetable cream soup and the apple carrot stew? I saw online reviews saying it's even better than in Italy," Gwen said, opening the menu and presenting it to Hode with hopeful eyes.
This was a European-style restaurant offering various dishes, mainly Italian and German.
She had long thought about coming here to eat but had always held back, so she wanted to give this dish a try.
"I think it should be good. I like everything you like," Hode responded, his quick mind racing while handling Gwen's question.
"You're so wonderful!"
Gwen's heart warmed at Hode's smiling nod.
Everything aligned with her thoughts.
The more it was like this, the more touched she felt.
However, she did not notice that Hode's focus was never on the menu.
He was continually thinking of how to avoid having the two women meet at all.
After they placed their orders, a blonde waiter soon brought their dishes to the table.
"Enjoy your meal!"
After saying that, the waiter lit the candle in the middle of the table before stepping back a couple of paces to leave.
"Go ahead and try it."
Gwen's eyes lit up as she looked at the delicious dishes presented before her.
She loved trying all kinds of delicious food.
"Sure."
Hode smiled and nodded, temporarily setting aside his concerns about Wanda.
There was still some time before Wanda arrived, so he would just deal with whatever came his way!
Hode took a sip of the creamy vegetable soup before him.
Its aroma was rich and complex, blending the freshness of the vegetables, the subtle spiciness of the seasonings, and the creaminess of the dairy.
As he tasted the first spoonful, the smooth texture and intricate layers of the soup unfolded on his palate.
In the slight chill of autumn, the soup warmed him from the inside out.
"How is it?"
Gwen clasped her hands, waiting anxiously for Hode's evaluation.
"Mm, it's quite good. The chef is likely Italian!"
Hode nodded slowly, giving his opinion.
"That's great! It seems this restaurant is indeed quite impressive!"
Gwen breathed a sigh of relief. She had always thought that someone like Hode, who came from a wealthy background, would have very particular tastes.
But it seemed he was not spoiled at all.
"However..."
At that moment, Hode's tone shifted.
