Chapter 131


    When Cordelia wanted to keep the string, Marcus put it in his pocket first.


    “Darling, you…”


    “That’s what the old woman said,” he said. “One for you and one for me. We keep it separately, so if


    we’re really separated in the future—”


    “No, shush! We won’t be separated!” Cordelia was scared. It did not matter what the old woman


    said, but the word “separated”ing from Marcus gave her a heavy sense of premonition.


    Marcus consoled, his husky voice exceptionally gentle, “Silly, I’ll find you back even if we’re


    separated!”


    “Mn!” Cordelia nodded firmly.


    Seth and Linda exchanged a look and smiled in unison.


    The four of them walked around for a bit and returned to the hotel. The manager came to wee


    them personally and took them to the best restaurant.


    Seth and Linda were dumbfounded when they entered. This was Edarial Dining that was said to


    cost a person half a year of sry for a meal! How would Cordelia reserve a ce like this!?


    “Is this a mistake?” Cordelia was puzzled. “I booked the standard meal online…”


    “It’s not. This is the ce.”


    The manager was courteous. As he pped, a line of trained servers appeared to serve them


    exquisite dishes.


    Cordelia widened her eyes and bated her breath. She had only seen these dishes on the Inte.


    They were all Edarial Dining’s signature dishes. With a table full of dishes like these, she might not


    be able to afford it even if she went bankrupt to pay!


    “Mister!” She gasped.


    “Ms. Jenner, you did book a standard meal,” the manager exined with a smile. “But we’re


    celebrating our anniversary with promotions these few days and have drawn lucky guests staying in


    our hotel to upgrade them to deluxe meals. Your booking number was drawn, Ms. Jenner!”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “What?” This was Cordelia’s first time hearing that there was something this fortuitous.


    Seth and Linda were stunned as they looked at each other, feeling like they were dreaming.


    “For real? We hit the jackpot!” Linda scanned the surroundings excitedly before she frowned. “But


    why isn’t there anyone if there’s an activity like this?”


    “Yeah!” Seth chorused. “It’s only the few of us since we checked in till now. This is so strange!”


    “Uh…” The manager chuckled dryly, unable to gloss it over.


    Marcus coughed and discreetly hugged Cordelia. “Since there’s free lunch, let’s not ask too much


    and just enjoy it!”


    Seth shook his head. “Yeah… but it’s still odd!


    He spoke softly, “Hey, you think this is a scam? Some dodgy businesses charge a crazy amount


    after the customers finish eating with the gimmick of winning a prize!”


    Marcus was rendered speechless.


    “I think we should be more careful.” The more Seth said, the more he sounded convincing. “Who


    knows if the dishes are drugged? They may even get our bank password out of us!”


    Everyone went silent.


    Marcus took a deep breath and said tly, “Seth, it’s a waste that you became a doctor.”


    “Hmm?”


    Marcus gnashed his teeth. “You should be writing a novel instead!”


    “Huh? How did you know?” Seth chuckled in a carefree manner. “My ambition when I was younger


    was to be a novelist. I listened to my mom, though, and gave up on literature to study


    medicine!”


    “Alright!” Linda was giggling. “How could a renowned restaurant like this extort its customers?


    Cordelia’s just having super good luck. Let’s dig in! I’m starving!”
