Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 79
Fia expertly led Jason into a deep alley and arrived at a wooden door that was covered with dust.
“We’re here.”
Jason looked around. “Are you sure that there’s food here?”
“Technically, the only thing they sell here is seafood, and nothing else.”
Fia pushed open the wooden door eagerly.
Jason followed her through the door and everything that entered his eyes was made of old wood. Even the floor and walls were made of wood. It felt like he had entered a wooden house back in the 50’s.
The wooden floor even creaked when he walked on it
Fia ran over to the counter and said, “Hey, sis!”
The lady by the counter raised her head and looked at Fia for a few seconds before happily holding her hands..
“You haven’t come in such a long time!”
“I’m here now, though.”
The owner of the restaurant held Fia’s hand, walked away from the counter, and whispered, “Your friend didn’t come with you?”
“You’re just making it difficult, sis. It’s not that convenient for her anymore.”
“That’s true. You two used to come to my place to eat all the time. It’s been three years now. Now that she’s a superstar, what about you? What are you doing right now?”
A sense of embarrassment appeared on Fia’s face. “I’m staying at home.”
“Oh? You’re married?”
“Yes.”
“Not bad, not bad.”
When she saw Jason coming over she asked happily, “Is that your husband?”
Fia quickly shook her head and said, “No! He’s just a friend.”
“Really?” The owner looked at Jason merrily. “What a handsome young man. How about introducing him to my daughter?”
“That’s not up to me. You have to ask Doctor Evans first.”
“He’s a doctor? No wonder he’s wearing a white coat. Which department is he from?” The owner asked enthusiastically. “It’s great being a doctor. My daughter is a nurse, actually!”
Jason regretted it already. He didn’t even take off his coat before following Fia.
The owner continued asking with wide eyes. “Which hospital?”
Jason replied politely, “Gryphonheart Hospital.”
“What a coincidence! My daughter’s working at Gryphonheart hospital too!” She immediately let go of Fia’s hand and took out her phone. “Just wait for a minute. Everything you’re ordering is my treat today. I have to call her to come back now.”
Fia saw the displeasure in Jason’s eyes and quickly stopped her. “Sis, this is the first time I’m bringing him here. And he has to go back for his night shift right after this. Maybe next time.”
“Oh? That’s fine, too.” The owner realized that she was being too pushy and smiled embarrassingly. “I’ll take you up.”
After ordering a seafood cioppino, the owner gave them a fruit platter and two glasses of corn drinks before serving the other customers. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Fia then said jokingly, “Luckily we came at night.”
“We can’t come here in the morning?” Jason asked curiously.
Fia bit her fork and said with a smile, “She has plenty of patrons here at night and she doesn’t have the time for you. If you come here in the morning when there are fewer people, she will definitely call her daughter back.”
Jason smiled awkwardly. “She’s so passionate.”
“The three of them are all very passionate. The owner only has one daughter, Lola. She’s quite pretty and has a good personality.” Before Fia finished her sentence, she gave Jason a glance. “If you don’t have a partner, I can introduce you to her. Maybe this will be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.”
“No,” Jason said with a smile. “There’s someone in my heart already.”
“Oh? Are you pursuing her?” Fia asked curiously.
Jason raised his head. His black eyes were very bright thanks to the reflection of the light.
“I don’t have that chance yet. Next time, maybe.”
“Sure,” Fia said as she grabbed the leg of a crab from the pot and gave it to Jason. “Give it up if it’s one- sided.”
The doctor was a good person. She didn’t want him to experience the same pain she went through.
Jason gave her a smile and said, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
“Sure.”
Conrad was walking around the hospital. He couldn’t find a place where seafood was served.
