Glamour and Sass: A Rejected Bride's Revenge-Chapter 74: Off to school

After speaking, she felt a bit embarrassed. Inviting someone for a meal in the middle of the night was not exactly appropriate. If she were to be rejected, wouldn’t it be even more awkward?

But surprisingly, Steven agreed without hesitation.

"Alright."

Cecilia was a bit surprised before she tentatively suggested, "Bring your son along."

"... Alright."

She wondered why this man was so agreeable tonight.

Steven wondered why this woman was being so proactive tonight.

However, both of them were in a surprisingly good mood.

"Then you should bring your daughter, too."

"Okay."

The next morning, Emma was still dreaming when Cecilia woke her up.

"Sweetheart, get up. Today is your first day of school~"

She couldn’t end up late every day like Cecilia used to when she was young.

Upon hearing the word ’school,’ Emma immediately perked up and quickly got up to shower.

After washing up, she received a message from Alex.

[Good luck on your first day of school, Little Sis~]

Emma smiled and replied, [Thanks~]

"On the first day, you will encounter lots of strange and weird things, but it’s okay. Just give yourself a few days to adjust."

Emma thought about the school they visited yesterday and didn’t find anything particularly strange.

It was Cecilia who was still changing and picking clothes, as if she had an important date.

Meanwhile, Alex watched as Steven changed from one suit to another, frowning.

All these suits looked similar. Who exactly was he trying to impress?

By noon, after both kids were settled in school, Cecilia and Steven went to the restaurant they had agreed on.

Steven had arrived first. After a brief greeting with the owner, he took a seat and waited for Cecilia.

As soon as she entered, she saw his handsome back and sat down in the seat across from him.

They exchanged glances.

"Where’s your daughter?"

"Where’s your son?"

"..."

"Off to school."

"Off to school."

They spoke in unison again.

Cecilia was speechless; this was a waste of her time. She only suggested eating together because she missed Alex.

Steven, however, was more at ease. In the past, he wouldn’t have tolerated anyone deceiving him. He hated lies, but this time, he felt a bit excited.

This date felt pretty good.

He gestured to the waiter, indicating that they could start serving the food.

The first dish was a French-style baked escargot. Cecilia looked at the large plate with only one small piece of snail, sighing in her heart before eating it in one bite.

While chewing, she observed the restaurant.

It looked like a high-end western restaurant, romantic and elegant—it was perfect for a date.

"It’s a pity there’s not many people..."

Steven’s fork paused when he heard this.

For the meal Cecilia had invited him to, he had contacted the owner late at night to request him not to take any reservations today since he had rented out the entire place.

Despite that, was Cecilia complaining about it being empty?

On normal days, this place usually had reservations booked out for two whole days! freewebnσvel.cøm

Just as he thought that, the main course finally arrived.

Cecilia looked at the delicious-looking steak in front of her. Her appetite grew at the sight of it as she finished it in a few bites.

Finally, she showed a satisfied expression.

"Though business is not great, the food is quite good."

As a seasoned foodie, there were only a few places that she could say had good food.

Seeing her satisfaction, Steven felt a sense of contentment himself, and a smile appeared on his face without him realizing it.

After the meal, they each had a cup of English tea as the final touch.

Staring at the cup of tea, Cecilia suddenly murmured something.

"We should be drinking wine. Mr. Lawrence, how’s your alcohol tolerance?"

He looked into her mischievous eyes and smiled.

"Miss Morrison, if you have something to say, just say it."

Her eyes darted around. After all, he was the one who brought it up. She asked, "I want to know, under what circumstances did you have Alex?"
