Chapter 267

Kate had conspicuously scooted over to North, making the couple feel like they were isolated. Feeling

embarrassed, Nathan looked at her, saying, “I haven’t nauseated you in seven years. Just because

you’re having dinner with me, it’s made you feel that way?”

Olivia decided to cut to the chase. “Alright, let’s stop it right now. The person who’s paying for this

dinner, be more enthusiastic and order some food!”

Ignoring Nathan, Kate gave the menu to George. “George, have a look. Just order whatever you like.

This is on me today!”

Upon looking at Nathan’s grumpy expression, George smiled and perused the menu without saying

anything else before ordering grilled fish. Then, he passed the menu to Olivia. “That’s it for me. Why

don’t you order the rest? I haven’t been around for a few years, so I’m not quite sure what the dishes

actually are.”

After taking the menu, she ordered a few dishes that were North’s favorites. Then, she handed the rest

to Kate. Without even asking the couple, she ordered a few more dishes before directly handing the

menu to the waiter.

However, Nathan didn’t seem to mind it as he was used to being thick-skinned and being a freeloader

anyway. Since she didn’t ask us, I’ll order it myself. Then, he called the waiter who was about to leave.

“Give me a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs. Mel loves that.”

As soon as he said that, Kate almost blew her top. However, she didn’t want to make a scene out and

did not say anything—even though she was furious.

Melanie was slightly unhappy by the way she was being treated, but since Nathan had already spoken,

she could at least try to present herself as a thoughtful person. “It’s fine. There are already so many

dishes. It will be a waste if we can’t finish them.”

“Don’t worry about it. Since someone is paying for the meal tonight, you can order whatever you want.”

Nathan looked at Kate in a provocative manner, but she completely ignored him as she had no

intention to talk to him at all. Her behavior had made him feel as if his offense had landed on nothing—

there was no fight for him to pick on.

However, Melanie frowned as she hated his cheapskate character. He was not poor, but it would be

akin to pulling teeth for him to foot the bill. He’s so stingy, no matter from which angle I look at! I already

had to exercise so much effort to ask him to buy something for me, be it a bag or clothes. After being

with him for such a long time, he’s still calculative, as if it is a war! It’s so tiring! I’ll dump him once I

have found a better man. I don’t have so much time to waste with him. She quietly appraised George

throughout the entire dinner. Why are the men around Olivia getting better each time? More

importantly, they are so loyal to her!

Olivia had seen through her expression—in less than ten minutes, the latter had already glanced at

George more than five times. Her intentions are probably obvious to everyone except for Nathan, who’s

still in the dark. In fact, George, who had been speaking to North, had also noticed that.

The restaurant was rather quick in preparing the food. All the ten dishes that they ordered had arrived

in no time. After pouring a glass of wine for George, Kate raised her glass for a toast. “George, now

that you’re back, why don’t you stay for a few more days? We can bring you around. If Olivia is busy, I

can be your tour guide—free of charge!”

He touched his wine glass to hers, causing it to clink, with a smile. “I appreciate it, but you guys are all

working. I don’t want my presence to affect your work. Apart from that, I won’t stay for long, so you

don’t have to bother much.”

Holding Nathan’s arms, Melanie suggested, “George, you can ask Nathan to accompany you. He’s not

that busy nowadays.”

Nathan immediately added, “That’s right. If you want to go anywhere, I’ll send you around.”

George smiled. “Sure. When I want to go somewhere, I’ll give you a call.”

Nathan looked at him in seriousness. “George, I’m being serious. If it weren’t for you and Olivia, I might

still be living on the streets now. Now that you are back, you must let me treat you well!”
