Chapter 922: 269: Unknown Secrets_3
Rachel Barton answered with a laugh, “I don’t have a preference, I’m fine with anything. You two can decide.”
Flora Tiarks dropped the gavel, “Let’s have raw pickled seafood. We can go to the place where we ate with Lexin.”
“Okay.” Rachel nodded.
She wanted to ask who Lexin was, but she was too shy to ask.
After all, the three of them were good friends who shared similar interests.
It felt distant, knowing that Viola Thompson and Flora knew sothing that she did not.
...
The three girls walked arm in arm.
Leaving Mr. White trailing behind them.
In this mont,
Rachel started to regret.
If Viola had not taken her arm earlier, she would have stayed behind with Mr. White.
Did Mr. White purposely stay behind to wait for her?
Rachel was originally very grateful to Viola.
But now…
Before long, they arrived at the raw pickled seafood restaurant.
There were quite a few people around at alti.
It was quite convenient for them, as they managed to get the last available table.
It was only after they received the nu that Rachel understood what “raw pickled” ant.
Everything was raw.
She did not really like raw seafood.
She always thought it was unhygienic.
But now, even if she doesn’t like it, she has to pretend to enjoy it.
She needs to have common topics with Mr. White.
Rachel ordered a raw pickled oyster and raw pickled bamboo shrimp.
Flora ordered a three-eyed crab, mud snails, red demon shrimp, and her favorite seafood platter.
Viola glanced at the nu, “Should we start with this? If it’s not enough, we can add more?”
Eating enough is always better than wasting food.
Viola really hated wasting anything.
Ever since Viola returned ho, the Thompson Clan’s monthly food spending had be halved.
Aside from when they have guests, als are always prepared just right, neither more nor less.
Flora nodded, “Sure.”
Rachel frowned slightly, wanting to say sothing but didn’t know how to start.
She noticed that Mr. White hadn’t ordered yet.
At that mont, Viola appeared to rember sothing, “Oh right, Marcus hasn’t ordered yet, right?”
Again, Marcus.
Rachel really wanted to ask Mr. White why Viola could address him like that.
Could it be…
But Viola already has a boyfriend.
Mr. White said, “Let’s start with these. My taste is similar to Flora’s.”
Internally, Flora was mocking like crazy.
How could it possibly be similar!
Her uncle had never tried raw pickled seafood before and even criticized it for having parasites that could damage the brain.
The tables had certainly turned now.
Flora narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Viola.
For so reason, she always felt that her uncle had this inexplicable liking towards Viola.
Because Flora had never seen her uncle accommodate a girl this way before.
Viola was the first and only one.
Rachel turned to Viola and asked, “Viola, where’s your boyfriend?”
It was then that Flora realized,
Viola already had a boyfriend!
Viola replied, “He returned to River City.”
Rachel took a sip of water, “Long-distance relationships are hard.”
Not only are long-distance relationship hard, but the break-up rate is also extrely high.
“It’s okay,” Viola responded lightly, “We are both usually quite busy.”
While talking to Viola, Rachel subconsciously tried to observe Mr. White’s expression.
But to her surprise,
Upon hearing that Viola has a boyfriend, there wasn’t any change in Mr. White’s facial expression.
As if…
he didn’t hear anything at all.
Could it be that she was overthinking?
Mr. White had no interest in Viola whatsoever?
Rachel breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Before long, all the food was served.
All were raw pickled seafood dishes.
The restaurant also gave them a bowl of hot porridge.
The delicious raw pickled seafood paired with the steaming hot porridge, felt really good going down.
Viola peeled a three-eyed crab.
It was also her first ti trying raw pickled seafood.
The soft and sweet texture, accompanied by the sour and spicy taste and the aroma of the secret sauce, was incredibly tasty and made her salivate.
“It’s great!” Viola exclaid in surprise, “You guys should try it, the texture is really different from cooked crab.”
Flora imdiately picked up a three-eyed crab, “It’s really good! I regret not trying it earlier.”
Completing her thought, Flora turned to Mr. White, “Uncle, do you like it?”
Mr. White instinctively touched his nose, “It’s good.”
Flora smiled lightly, her suspicions were confird.
Rachel was highly resistant to these foods.
But she still forced herself to eat a bunch and then chugged the porridge.
After finishing their al,
Flora asked Mr. White to drive them back.
Viola said, “I can ride my bike back. Marcus, you can just drop off Rachel and Flora.”
