Chapter 461


    Chapter 461 She Is Ignoring Me Levi gazed at her quietly. “No, but I’m acquainted with the owner.” The


    owner? “Kate?” Just then, a middle-aged woman with a mature charm came out of the restaurant,


    immediately recognizing Kathleen. Kathleen froze, an inexplicable sense of familiarity rising within her


    the moment her gaze fell on the middle-aged woman before her eyes. M gave her a faint smile. “My


    name is M Hunt. I’m a close friend of Wynnie. You used to love my cooking.” Kathleen blinked a few


    times before responding, “Hello, Mdm. Hunt.” “I had no idea you two knew each other, Mdm. Hunt.”


    Levi remainedposed as he shed a smile at M. ncing at him, M asked indifferently, “Mr.


    Levi, what are you doing here again?” “Mdm. Hunt, I’m here to—” “You’ve just had lunch here earlier,


    Mr. Levi. You shouldn’te here again for dinner,” said M tonelessly.


    Levi immediately turned to look at Kathleen. Despite not fully understanding the conflict between Levi


    and M, Kathleen knew that this was her cue to step in. Clearing her throat, she exined, “Mdm.


    Hunt, Levi is my friend. He came to Jadeborough on a business trip and dropped by to visit me. I was


    hoping to treat him to a meal, so…” “Oh, I see. Come in, then!” M invited them in graciously the


    moment she heard Kathleen’s words. Levi was overjoyed. He had no idea Kathleen’s words and


    presence had such an effect. Kathleen merely gazed at him speechlessly before following M into the


    restaurant. “What would you and your children like to eat, Kate?” asked M with a smile after showing


    them to their seats. “I have no idea.” Indeed, Kathleen had no ns, nor did she know what the


    signature dishes of the restaurant were. “Allow me to decide for you guys, then.” M smiled kindly. “I’d


    like to have Sizzle Steak.” Unlike Kathleen, Levi seemed to be very clear on what he would like to


    order. Everyone turned their gaze toward him.


    “That’s a limited-edition dish that you’ve already had earlier, so it’s only avable for Kate and the kids


    now,” stated M bluntly. “That’s fine, too. I just want them to try it,” Levi replied nonchntly. Kathleen


    knitted her brows. Somehow, she felt that that was not Levi’s true intention, but she had no clue what


    he had up his sleeve. “Please wait for a moment.” M shed Kathleen a smile before she spun


    around and left. Kathleen immediately turned to Levi and demanded in a stern tone, “What’s going on


    with you? Exin everything clearly, or I’m leaving with the children!” “Calm down. You’ll know in a


    second,” answered Levi with a sheepish expression on his face. A momentter, a young woman d


    in a chef’s uniform approached them with a serving cart. The woman was probably about Kathleen’s


    age. Not only did she have fair skin and delicate features, but faint dimples would appear on her


    cheeks when she smiled, too. “Here ites!” Levi became excited. Kathleen turned to look at the


    woman. Just then, M came toward them as well, walking alongside the woman. Only then did


    Kathleen realize how strikingly the two women resembled each other. “Kate, let me introduce you. This


    is our head chef.” M beamed. Kathleen smiled faintly in response. “Hi, my name is Kathleen.” She


    reached out her hand. “I’m Queena Hunt.” The woman held out her hand as well. Queena Hunt?


    Kathleen shook hands with her. “Are you…” “She’s my daughter,” M exined smilingly. Realization


    dawned on Kathleen. Oh, I see.


    No wonder they look so alike! She shot Levi a sideways nce only to see that he was staring at


    Queena with a dazed look in his eyes. Queena blushed slightly. “I’m about to make Sizzle Steak. First,


    I’m going to heat up this piece ofva stone here, and then I’m going to ce this marinated steak on


    it. In just two minutes, the steak would be ready to be served.” As she spoke, she began heating up the


    loud, crisp sizzling rang out the moment the beef wasid on theva stone. Desiree watched in


    fascination. “The steak is really cooked.” “That’s right,” Queena affirmed with a smile. Meanwhile, Levi


    was staring at Queena like an idiot while thetter did not even bother sparing him a nce. Kathleen


    felt rather helpless. It was not hard for her to work out that both M and Queena were equally irritated


    with him. After Queena finished grilling the steaks, she served them to the guests. “Please enjoy your


    meal.” “Thank you,” Kathleen responded with gratitude. “You’re wee.” Queena smiled warmly.


    “Just let me know if you guys feel like having anything else.” Kathleen nodded. “We will.” With that,


    Queena left with her serving cart. M red at Levi wordlessly before turning to Kathleen. “Kate, I’ll


    leave you and your children to your meal while I serve the other customers.” “Okay, sure.” Kathleen


    nodded. The moment M left their table, Kathleen looked sideways at Levi and snapped, “What was


    that all about?” Seeing that Levi did not respond, she went on furiously, “Why do I feel as if you were


    using me? Exin yourself now!” “Many things happened since west met. Three months ago, I met


    Queena in Pollerton and fell in love at first sight,” exined Levi quietly. “And what about her?”


    Kathleen asked in a cold voice. “She liked me as well, so we got together. Perhaps it was because I


    was too busy and didn’t spend much time with her, but by the time I went back to see her again, she


    had returned to her country.” Kathleen massaged her temples. “Then did you call her?” “I did.” Levi


    nodded. “But she didn’t pick up. So, tell me. Why would she treat me like this?” “It’s hard to know the


    answer to that just by listening to your side of the story. Perhaps you’d done something that offended

    her,” stated Kathleen indifferently. “But I didn’t.” Levi was genuinely baffled. “All the same, why didn’t


    you just tell me about this earlier?” Kathleen was still mad at him. “I’m sorry,” Levi apologized at once.


    “There better not be a next time. You just made things extremely awkward for me,” Kathleen warned.


    “All right.” Levi smiled sheepishly before a look of despair washed over his face. “But she’s totally


    ignoring me now.” “Then you should try to talk to her nicely.” “Talk to her?” Levi continued in a helpless


    tone, “How am I supposed to do that when she won’t even give me a chance to do so?” Kathleen


    furrowed her brows slightly. Looks like the problem is indeed quite serious! “It’s Daddy!” Desiree


    eximed suddenly. Kathleen turned around, immediately noticing Samuel and Ashley entering the


    restaurant and M going over to wee them. “And that evil woman is with him too. If Daddy


    marries that woman, then I’m really never going to bother about him again. I’m being serious!” added


    Desiree in disappointment. Kathleen retracted her gaze. “Are you okay?” Levi asked in concern.


    Kathleen nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine.”


    M was Wynnie’s close friend. Since M just opened a new restaurant, it was expected that Samuel


    would be visiting the ce. However, what Kathleen had not expected was that he would bring Ashley


    with him. Simrly, it did not ur to Ashley that she would bump into Kathleen here either. What


    surprised her even more was that Kathleen was apanied by a man, who also happened to be very


    handsome and charismatic. “Looks like Kathleen’s been busy, Samuel. She found a new boyfriend


    soon enough,” Ashley remarked with a meaningful smile. “They look like a loving couple, don’t they?


    Do you see how affectionately that man is looking at her?” Of course, Samuel saw it all. He did not


    know who the man was, but he had to admit that Ashley was certainly right. That man indeed had a


    look of deep affection as he gazed at Kathleen. Besides, Kathleen seemed to get along well with that


    man. They seemed to be quite close. Who is that man?
