Chapter 19
Before Jane could reject this proposal, Dan dragged him out of the house.
On the way, she calculated what they could afford.
She stole a glance at Dan. His life had lived in the mountains. He probably did not know of any restaurants in Cardiff, did he?
Maybe they could eat at a food stall beside the road.
Moreover, some restaurants had an unlimited supply of staple food, which would be enough for him.
Jane lowered her head and smiled.
During the days of marriage, she had been living frugally and often hought cheap food. However, she had heard from an old servant of the Fallon family that dining outside occasionally was helpful to young couples.
She decided to indulge herself today.
However, when Jane looked up, he found that she had already walked to the busiest commercial street with Dan and stopped at the entrance of the Crowne Hotel!
“Let’s go to this one.” The man’s words were calm, as if he had picked up an inconspicuous cabbage in the market.
“What did you say?!” Jane almost cried out in shock.
“I said, let’s eat here.” Dan narrowed his eyes and smiled. “I think this restaurant is pretty good.”
Jane couldn’t help holding her breath and subconsciously clutched her bag.
This was the most expensive five–star hotel in Cardiff. She usually didn’t even look up when she passed by the door.
Her salary would probably not be enough for a plate of cold dishes!
Dan pulled her inside. The waiters on both sides bowed 90 degrees respectfully. The manager came out to welcome them with a professional smile. “Welcome.”
“Dan!” Jane suddenly grabbed his arm.
“What’s wrong?”
“We…”
She wanted to say, “We don’t have enough money.
“Let’s go to a cheaper restaurant.
“How could people like us afford the dishes here?”
However, she didn’t say those words.
She looked at Dan’s expectant expression and thought about how he had handed her all those precious family heirlooms.
He had already regarded her as one of his own. How could she be stingy with her husband?
Jane gritted her teeth and forced a smile. “Let’s go in.”
Dan was stunned. He didn’t expect such an answer.
“Are you sure?
“Of course!” Jane smiled happily and leaned against him. “Since you like this place, let’s eat here. It’s just a meal. Don’t worry, I can afford to raise you!”
Dan’s eyes flickered,
He deliberately chose this place. He knew that Jane’s salary was not high, and he expected that she would find all kinds of excuses to brush him off. Maybe in the end, they would buy cheap vegetables and go home to cook.
He just wanted to play a trick on her and force her to admit that she wasn’t Fiano and just a
substitute.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt his prank was too much.
“Why don’t we-” Before he could finish his words, Jane pulled him in and sat down at a table by the window to enjoy the night view.
Jane ordered two dishes. They were not very expensive, but it was all she could afford. She also specially told the waiter to make small serves just for Dan.
“Why don’t you eat it?” He looked into her eyes.
She smiled and avoided his gaze. “I’m not very hungry. I don’t have much of an appetite.”
you just complained that I didn’t cook.”
Jane stopped talking, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her clear eyes. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Dan put down his fork, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through her. After a long pause, he asked word by word, “We’ve been married for some time. Don’t you have anything to tell me?”
