Kelly held Summer's hand and spoke confidently. Upon seeing that, Summer felt that her efforts had not been a waste. Kelly and Zach were supposed to meet at Carlson Restaurant, which was located in a wealthy district of Rosseera City. It had been awarded the five-star Miclair Award and was very magnificent. It was a great honor to eat there for the average person. Summer took Kelly there, while James took Zach over. The four of them sat down at the table.The restaurant was dim. There were luxurious chairs and vintage chandeliers around the area. Moreover, a band was playing relaxing music in a corner of the restaurant. Once the four people sat down, a foreign waiter asked them what they would like to eat in perfect local language.James didn't ask the others what they wanted. He simply ordered a few dishes in Fravian. Later, Summer realized that he hadn't just ordered a small number of dishes. Instead, he'd ordered hundreds of them. The dishes came in sets, and one set had a

"How would you know that? Are you just spouting nonsense?" Summer disagreed with James. It was just a blind date, so if Zach hadn't liked Kelly, he would have expressed it. Moreover, wealthy people had high standards. If he didn't like Kelly, why would the man chat with her so enthusiastically?Yet, Summer didn't know Zach well. But James was Zach's friend, so he knew the latter well. He explained, "Zach is different from us. He has always behaved gently toward those he doesn't like. He won't hurt others." Then, James paused for a while before adding, "Summie, think about it. If Zach didn't like Kelly, would you want him to tell Kelly his opinion directly? If you were Kelly, you would be upset by that."Summer thought for a while and realized that was true. If Zach had behaved very coldly toward Kelly and remained silent, it would have been very upsetting. After thinking about it, Summer stopped smiling and grew anxious. She asked suspiciously, "James, is what you said true

Summer had used to eat here with some of her friends when she'd been in high school.She was extremely happy to be back there. She found the old food stall she had used to frequent and grabbed James and herself a table. She said, "Mr. Brooks, I'll have one spaghetti aglio e olio and one chicken casserole, please.""Coming right up," answered Tom Brooks, the stall owner. Soon, the food was served. Tom said enthusiastically, "Summie, it's been a long time since I saw you, so I made you an extra large spaghetti aglio e olio tonight."Tom was a generous person. He had been running the food stall for a decade.Summer knew him quite well because she was a frequent customer. He was very happy to see her again, so he made an extra large portion for her supper. There was a huge pile of spaghetti aglio e olio on the plate.Summer had never eaten such a large portion of spaghetti aglio e olio. She wondered if she could finish it, but she still thanked Tom.Tom was about to leave when he

Summer took some spaghetti aglio e olio in front of him and ate it, chewing it with delight. "It tastes really good. You're definitely going to regret it if you don't try it."James was still hesitant. Summer knew why he was acting that way.Rich people like him usually eat specially crafted food. Their dishes were made with repeatedly cleaned ingredients to ensure hygiene. James didn't eat the spaghetti, probably because he was worried it wasn't clean and would be bad for him."Don't worry, eating spaghetti won't kill you. I used to eat here for so many years, and nothing ever happened to me," Summer said as she stuffed the spaghetti into his mouth. He was unexpectedly compliant as he opened his mouth when Summer fed him.A hint of surprise showed up on his cold face after a few bites. He narrowed his eyes a little, looking like he had formed a special liking for the spaghetti aglio e olio. "It's really good.""Of course. I recommended it after all. You've never eaten spaghet

Summer questioned, "What exactly do you guys want? We've given you the money. Aren't you leaving?""Stop playing me for a fool. I know you two, Mr. James Quigley and Mrs. Quigley." The leader had actually recognized them! Summer panicked. Things weren't as simple as she'd thought.But she wasn't the type to give up easily. She made an excuse. "You're mistaken. We're not James Quigley and Mrs. Quigley, or whoever you said. Besides, you better leave with our money fast. Otherwise, you're in for it when the police arrive.""There's no police around here. Even if they were around, they wouldn't reach here that quickly." The leader knew the area well. He was probably used to doing criminal stuff here. Under the moonlight, he stepped forward and raised his arm. "Guys, catch them and tie them up."The leader was a clever guy. He had already noticed Summer and James while they had been having supper at the food stall. After recognizing them, he'd gathered his lackeys to rob them.It w
