"Okay!" Lucian nodded. He looked at the black pepper steak and smiled in satisfaction.
That was his best dish and he also liked it very much!
Victor looked at the delicate steak in front of him and smiled slightly. "Lucian, your dishes are good. Your future wife would be blessed."
Lucian lowered his head and cut the steak elegantly. He did not reply to Victor.
Victor felt that the steak tasted much better than the ones in restaurant after taking a bite of it.
He said, "Lucian, I'll go with you!"
Lucian asked uncertainly, "To the bookstore?"
"Yes!" Victor nodded.
Lucian reminded, "Okay! But I'll stay there the whole day. You better think carefully first before going there."
Victor's expression changed slightly. He said, "Eden and I have agreed to go to the movies today but she has injured her foot. I have nothing to do. Isn't it just reading books the whole day?
We used to do that frequently. It is not difficult for
me to do that for a day."
His day would be very interesting if he met Kenny and Gia.
"Alright. Let’s leave after we finish our food." Lucian picked up a glass of water at the side and took a sip as he spoke.
Victor glanced at him. Lucian still looked elegant even when he was drinking water. Even men would be amazed by him. Victor smiled and said, "Lucian, what a waste that you eat steak with water.
I have red wine at my house. Why didn't you take out the wine and drink it?"
Lucian spoke without an expression on his face, "I can't drink with you around."
"Cough cough..." Victor was choked by Lucian’s remark.
He quickly took a sip of water and asked uncomfortably, "Lucian, what do you mean by that?"
A man who was as steady as him would actually get angry with Lucian.
Why couldn’t Lucian drink when he was around? Did he look disgusting?
Women in River City were lining up to marry him.
However, he only liked Eden.
Lucian was still eating gracefully. He continued to eat his food without even glancing at Victor.
After taking a bite of the steak, he said, "You're not my wife."
"Cough cough..." Victor was choked again.
He did not expect that Lucian to drop a bombshell.
His handsome face was red as he looked at Lucian and said, "Lucian, can you change your way of speaking?"
Lucian spoke indifferently, "I'm used to it and I can't change it."
Victor was speechless for a moment.
He felt that he was cold but Lucian was even colder than him!
Forget it. He felt that it was best to eat his food to save himself from choking again.
Victor lowered his head and quickly finished the steak.
When Lucian saw that Victor had finished his food, he took his plate and went to wash the plates.
Victor was very happy when he saw that.
Lucian was much more diligent than Anson.
Victor hoped that Anson would be able to pursue his true love in Gate City.
Lucian had tidied up the utensils and both of them drove directly to the bookstore River City center!
The bookstore had two floors in total. Both floors were extremely spacious.
The bookstore was extremely quiet. Many people were immersed in their own world and were not disturbed!
The rows of different types of books made people feel as though they were in the sea of books!
Lucian and Victor headed straight for the second floor.
Victor glanced at the bookstore. It was very quiet even though there were many people.
Only then did he remember that he hadn't been to a bookstore for a long time.
Victor was taken aback.
His mind was filled with millions of question marks.
He was shocked to see Lucian behaving like that.
Why hadn’t he seen that side of Lucian before?
Kenneth still called out indifferently, "Uncle Lucian."
Lucian stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Kenny, nice to meet you. I'm Lucian."
Kenneth glanced at his fair and broad palm and frowned slightly. He was not used to this type of greeting.
Kenneth paused for a moment before he stretched out with his small hand and said, "Uncle Lucian, I'm Kenneth."
They shook hands. Lucian glanced at the book in his hand and smiled.
He took out his book and said, "Kenny, do you also like to read this type of book?"
Kenneth glanced at the book in Lucian's hand and casually closed the book in his hand.
He said, "I'll read it occasionally!"
Kenneth looked at Victor and Lucian oddly. He had never thought that they would come here.
Lucian did not say anything after hearing that. For a child who was striving hard, it was good enough for him to know some things.
He smiled and sat down next to Kenneth. "Kenny, since we like the same type of books, why don't we sit together so that we can discuss with each other?"
Their voices were very soft even though they were talking.
Kenneth nodded with interest when he heard that.
Kenneth and Lucian didn't say anything more and they read their own book respectively.
Giada suddenly said, "Kenny, I want to go to the toilet."
Kenneth looked at her and frowned. "Haven't you gone there a while ago?"
"But I want to go there again." Giada was helpless. She had drunk too much water.
Kenneth said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you to drink less water when you ate rice noodles just now? You didn't listen and now you keep wanting to go to the toilet."
