Chapter 82 Doting Boyfriend


    "Cara, you only want one serving of the Kobe steak? There are ten servings in total. Since there are


    five of us, we would eat only five here. Just ask La and Macie first. If they don''t want to take any


    home, then you can have the remaining five. I''m sure you would be d to have five servings by


    yourself!"


    Horace responded to her request with a smirk.


    Cara felt as if he had just driven a knife through her heart. She rolled her eyes at him. ''What did he


    mean by I would be d to have five servings all by myself? Was he trying to say that I was greedy


    and fat?'' As far as she was concerned, she was only a little chubby. She had the right amount of fat in


    the right ces.


    Before Cara could say anything, La and Macie shook their heads and said in unison, "Cara, you are

    free to take the remaining five servings home. One steak is enough for me!"


    This was like adding insult to injury. Even though Cara was furious, she put on a friendly mask. "Oh,


    you both don''t have to give me the remaining five servings. Each of you can take one home. Perhaps


    someone in your family wants to taste it."


    "Okay, then." La nodded after thinking for a while. Her family members had never tasted Kobe steak


    before. This was a golden opportunity for them to taste such an expensive dish, so she decided to take


    one serving home.


    Since La agreed, Macie also said with a nod, "Okay!"


    "It''s settled then!" Cara waved her hand and began to serve the food. Afterward, she dug in. The Kobe


    steak looked so delicious that she couldn''t help taking a big bite.


    Like a glutton, she also tasted all the dishes that were on the table. "Mr. Warren, where did you buy this


    Kobe steak? Why does it taste like heaven? I have never eaten a steak so delicious before. The chef


    must have gifted hands. It''s so sulent and chewy at the same time. If I continue to eat delicious


    foods like this while working as your mother''s personal nurse, I would be a fatty soon! I should


    probably cut down my food intake, but I can''t resist the taste of this Kobe steak. Hmm!" Cara moaned


    as she munched on the food. She was a foodie, so she had a weakness for delectable and expensive


    foods.


    "Your size is none of my business. You can get fat or lose weight for all I care." Horace chuckled and


    continued, "Well, I bought this steak from the Country Music Restaurant."


    "Oh, that''s a very good restaurant. No wonder the food tastes so heavenly!"


    Cara spoke with her mouth filled with slices of the steak, but her words were still audible. Horace


    nced at her. He couldn''t help but wonder how she was able to talk so clearly despite her stuffed


    mouth.


    A few secondster, Cara yfully stated, "Mr. Warren, keep in mind that if I be a fat woman and


    can''t find a husband, I will pester you!"


    "No worries, Cara. If you are unable to get married at the right time, I''ll be your matchmaker?"


    Horace chuckled and continued to eat from the same te as his mother.


    They didn''t eat much, so they might not be able to finish one serving of steak.


    At first, Horace wanted to eat one serving alone. But he decided against it because La, Macie, and


    Cara wouldn''t have enough to divvy up equally. Another reason why he shared a steak with his mother


    was that he loved eating with her. It was a way of bonding with her.


    At the end of the meal, Horace shared the six remaining steaks equally between the three young


    "Cara, are you in a hurry to go home?" he asked afterward.


    She shook her head and replied, "No, Mr. Warren. Why do you ask? Do you have something to attend


    to? If you do, you can go ahead."


    "Yes, I have something to do. Since you are not in a hurry to leave, please take good care of my


    mother for me. I need to send La home. The night is far spent. I don''t want her to go back alone. The


    streets aren''t safe," Horace whispered to Cara after ncing at La.


    This statement was a heavy blow for Cara. The pain in her heart intensified. ''This is so unfair. I am a


    woman also. Why didn''t you care about me when I went homete at night? Now you want to send


    La home in person. What''s so special about her? Besides, the night is not far spent as you said. It''s


    only seven o''clock. Seven o''clock! There''s nothing to be worried about. Just say you want to create an


    opportunity to spend more time with her! Rubbish!''


    Jealousy filled Cara''s heart, but she didn''t dare to voice herint. She just said with a fake smile,


    "Mr. Warren, you can go ahead. I''ll watch her for you."


    "Okay, thanks." Horace nodded and then shifted his attention to La. "Let''s go, La. I''ll apany


    you home," he said with a loving smile.


    A sense of envy swept through Macie because Horace only mentioned La. Just like this afternoon,


    she felt that he was neglecting her as if she were invisible. "Horace, I''m going home alone too. Aren''t


    you worried about me?"


    "Macie, there''s no need to worry. Since we live only a few houses away from each other, we can go


    home together," La replied before her boyfriend could utter a word.


    Now that Macie was being a spoilsport again, Horace wanted to get short with her and even beat her


    up. He had nned to spend some alone time with La in the car, but that wouldn''t be possible now.


    La had already suggested, so he couldn''t refuse.


    A mixture of sadness and rage swept through him as he thought of how Macie had repeatedly put a


    spanner in the works today. He clenched his teeth and imagined giving her a good thump.


    After a while, Horace came back to his senses. He hated her so much, but he had to echo La''s


    words, "Macie, you live on the same street as La. I can send both of you home."


    "Well, since you both offered, I have no choice but to agree. It''s convenient for me anyway!"


    The way Macie pretended to consider their offer made Horace even angrier. He badly wanted to teach


    her a lesson. She was just a third wheel, but she was behaving like the main character.


    The three of them left the ward and went straight to the gate of the Rinas Infirmary.


    After Dario dropped them earlier, Horace had ordered him to go home. He didn''t have a car or a


    driver''s license, so he had to hail a taxi now.


    "Come to think of it, Horace. I think you shouldn''t apany us. We can go home ourselves. If you go


    with us, you would have to take a taxi back. It would be too stressful for you," La suddenly said to


    him after a taxi halted in front of them.


    "No, La. I can''t let you go home alone. You are a beautiful young girl. Some bad people are fond of


    targeting women at night. I can''t rest assured if I don''t follow you!" Horace insisted.


    "Horace, what do you mean by going home alone? Are you trying to undermine my significance? Am I


    not a human to you? Don''t get me started with this nonsense again!" Macie got short with him.


    ''Fuck! How could I forget Macie?'' It wasn''t until the angry voice rang out that he remembered that there


    was still a malicious woman beside him.


    "I''m sorry, Macie. I didn''t mean to forget you. Of course, I think you are a human being!" Horace blurted


    out the only words he coulde up with.


    ''What? You think I am a human being? Is that something to be unsure of?'' Macie got even angrier. She


    red at him because she felt he was being rude.


    Ignoring her re, Horace opened the door of the back seat for La and said, "Get in, La. I don''t


    mind going through stress just for you."


    The three of them got into the taxi. Without being told this time, Macie sat in the front passenger seat.


    The lovebirds were left alone in the back seat.
