Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage novel Chapter 137

Sasha felt awkward. “Penny, don’t be angry. We haven’t met in such a long time, so don’t be angry over such a small issue. And Matthew, don’t fight with Penny anymore. Come, let’s have dinner first.”

After much pleading and persuasion, Penny finally sat down in a huff.

Soon, dinner was served and everything was Western cuisine, like steaks and such. The cutleries given were forks and knives, but there was also a pair of chopsticks on the table should the customer want to use it.

As Matthew was not used to using forks and knives, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

When Peter saw it, he immediately exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, “Sir, this isn’t how you should eat Western cuisine. You have to use a fork and knife instead. How are you any different from a barbarian with the way you’re eating now?”

His loud voice attracted the attention of the people nearby and they sneered.

“Oh dear, this is the first time I’m seeing someone eat a steak using chopsticks!”

“What’s so weird about that? Just grab any one of the uncouth men working at the construction site near my place and he’ll definitely be eating a steak with chopsticks too!”

“How could an uncouth person enter such a high-end place like Shanghai Nights?”

“It’s obvious that the tall, handsome and rich man seated across him is treating him to the meal!”

“I think this is the first time in his life he’s ever been to such a high-class place!”

Giving a tit for tat, Matthew said, “Just because you say you’re classy, it doesn’t mean that you are because actions speak louder than words. It’s my business what I’m eating and how I’m eating it. Don’t you know that minding your own business is good manners as well?”

“You!” Penny was so angry that she didn’t know what to say.

“Guys, forget it.” Sasha hurriedly tried to make peace. “Penny, Matthew doesn’t like to use forks and knives, so just let him be. And Matthew, stop arguing with Penny.”

Matthew nodded with a grin and continued eating with chopsticks while Peter cast a look at him from across the table and muttered under his breath, “Barbarian!”

Unwilling to show any sign of weakness, Matthew shot back, “Nincompoop!”
