“Let’s stay calm for now.” Sonia said, “And wait for the right time.”
Her best friend could only give up, but one of her friends tried to please Sonia while giving Emmeline a fierce glare.
On the other side, the three of them took their seats.
Tony picked up the menu on the table and handed it to Emmeline, saying, “Miss, feel free to order whatever you want.”
Emmeline did not hesitate and took the menu to look at it carefully.
It was an authentic Cantonese restaurant.
Several famous Cantonese dishes were listed on the menu.
Emmeline ordered a main chicken and fish dish and then handed Abel the menu.
Abel ordered pasta and a herby broccoli and pea soup.
When it was Tony’s turn to order, he chose a Stewed Kasha, beef, and lamb stew.
“There are only six dishes.” Tony complained, “Are you two trying to save money for me?”
“We can’t finish so much food.” Emmeline pursed her lips, “It would be a waste.”
“No, I like a table full of food. Even if we can’t finish it, it’s still enjoyable to look at. Order more!” Tony said.
He handed the menu to Emmeline again.
Emmeline’s gaze fell on the dessert section.
Finally, she chose a pancake.
Abel ordered cake.
Tony laughed, “I understand now. Madam likes sweet food.”
Abel nodded and said, “Good insight.”
Tony said, “I ordered lamb stew, which you must love.”
Emmeline nodded and smiled, “That’s right, I love it.”
“Then I’ll order apple crumble.” Tony said, “You will also love it.”
“Don’t just think about me.” Emmeline blinked her black eyes, “Both of you should order something you like.”
“I remember Abel likes beef.” Tony said, “Let’s order a radish and beef brisket casserole.”
“You still remember my favorite food.” Abel teased him, “You truly deserve to be my roommate.”
“I also remember many embarrassing things about you.” Tony said, “Be careful. I might spill the beans to your wife.”
“Tell me more about it.” Emmeline said happily, “I want to hear about all the embarrassing things Abel had in the past.”
“Tony, you’re my brother.” Abel said, “You can’t betray me.”
“I just wanted to bribe my sister-in-law.” Tony laughed.
“Ignore him.” Emmeline said, “Just tell us, I’m listening.”
Tony handed the menu to the waiter next to him and instructed, “Serve the food quickly. We’re all hungry.”
Then he deliberately cleared his throat and began to speak.
Abel remained silent.
He did not have any dark history, at most just some small jokes, so he was not afraid of what Tony would say.
He was just curious about what this guy wanted to say about him.
There were some embarrassing things that he had forgotten.
“Let me tell you about high school,” Tony started talking, “There was a time when a few of us guys went hiking together.”
As soon as he spoke, Abel could not help but burst into laughter.
He remembered what Tony wanted to say.
He raised his hand to stop him, “You, shut up immediately.”
“Never mind him.” Emmeline’s curiosity was piqued, “You speak, go ahead, I’m listening.”
Tony smiled at Abel, “Don’t interrupt me!”
“Loquacious.” Abel suppressed his laughter, “Be careful. I’ll smash your gym later!”
“I’m so scared.”
Tony made a gesture of covering his head and continued speaking without delay.
“There is a very high and steep rock on the mountain. A few of us made a bet to see who could climb to the highest point first. Whoever reaches the top first will be respected as the king among us and worshipped for all his life.”
“You’re talking about Monkey King, right?” A picture of the Monkey King appeared in Emmeline’s mind.
Upon hearing this, Abel and Tony both chuckled.
Tony looked at Abel and said, “You know what, now that I think about it, it does sound interesting. How about we call you the Money King instead?”
“Go to hell!” Abel glared at him. “I allow you to choose the most comfortable way to die!”
