Chapter 523


    M


    Maja scowled, feeling really ticked off.


    What on earth was up withn? She had never seen him being so bloody shameless before.


    Well, maybe not shameless, just that he had nerves of steel.


    The cutlery in this restaurant had to be taken out of a paper wrap, which contained a disposable fork


    head. He had to fit this fork head onto a handle before he could use it. He usually saw these types of


    forks at snack stands, but these forks were a bit more eco–friendly because only the fork head was


    disposable.


    Bothn and Carlene had no clue how to use them.


    Carlene mmed the fork down on the table with a “thump,” not bothering to hide her distaste.


    Instead,n looked at the fork next to Maja.


    Since she had injured her hand, she had been using a spoon and a fork.


    He just reached over and grabbed Maja’s fork, starting to use it as if it were the most natural thing in


    the world.


    Maja’s face darkened further, her chest heaving more violently.


    Nathan, who was sitting across from her, felt incredibly embarrassed. As Maja’s husband in name, how


    was he supposed to react ton’s behavior? If he got angry, he wouldn’t dare offendn.


    If he didn’t get angry, then what was the point of his role as a husband? Keeping quiet seemed too


    cowardly.


    To ease the tension, Nathan reached for the paper wrap next to Carlene and helped her assemble


    another fork.


    Carlene scoffed disdainfully, “You don’t need to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong.”


    Knowing that Carlene wasn’s date, Nathan didn’t dare to argue.


    But the next moment, Maja stood up and threw the fork in front of Carlene into the trash can.


    “Well then, just eat with your hands.”


    Carlene hadn’t expected Maja to do that. She was so angry that her face turned ashen, and her lips


    even started to bleed from biting them so hard. What a nightmare! This was infuriating!


    She red at Maja, wishing she could p her right then and there.


    Tears welled up in Carlene’s eyes. She turned ton and said, n, look at her; she threw my cutlery


    away. How am I supposed to eat now?” Nathan quickly tried to cate Maja, saying, “Penny, let it go;


    I’m fine. Do you want some shrimp? I’ll peel it for you.”


    Inn’s eyes, Maja was standing up for Nathan.


    Carlene’s eyes lit up at his words. A cold smile spread across her face as she waited for Maja to


    apologize.


    But Maja only looked away, mimicking Jan’s cold chuckle, “Eat it or leave it.”


    Nathan quickly scooped some soup for Maja and said, “Don’t be mad; have some soup to calm your


    stomach.”


    Maja really liked the food at this restaurant, and she was quite hungry. So she started to drink the soup


    silently.


    Carlene sat across from her, feeling like she was about to cry. She felt humiliated here, but leaving


    would give this disgusting woman an opportunity!


    She gritted her teeth, asked the waiter for another paper wrap, and assembled a fork herself, just like


    Nathan did earlier.


    As Maja was quietly enjoying her soup, she suddenly felt a hand creeping towards her leg. She


    paused, turning in surprise ton.


    Ian still maintained his suave demeanor, his eyes half–closed, looking rather indifferent. But under the


    table, his hand was slowly reaching for Maja’s thigh.


    The warmth from his palm seemed to seep through the thin fabric, painting her face a deep shade of


    red.
