time there, and to be honest, it was a mess. However, the messier the place was, the tastier its food was.“It’s right in there. This cheap restaurant is not what you have experienced before, so you might not be used to it,” Jaxon said with a smile.Elspeth could hear a hint of embarrassment in his voice and replied, “It’s fine. I had eaten hardtacks before, not to mention the cheap restaurant.” Seeing that Elspeth was curious about the place, Jaxon felt less anxious.“Come on. It’s this place.”As he spoke, he took her to an old restaurant. The words on the board were blurred, but she could still tell that it had ‘Wilcox Restaurant’ on it.“The owner of this restaurant is also a Wilcox?”Hearing her words, Jaxon smiled and said, “You are quite smart, the Great Elspeth.”“Alright now. Stop calling me that. It’s weird. Just call me Elspeth, as everyone does. Of course, you can call me Miss Lynwood if you wish.” After all, Elspeth felt like she was just about three years older than him, so it wouldn’t be bad if he addressed her as such.“I’ll call you Elspeth then. Come, Elspeth, I’m sure you will like this restaurant.”Although Elspeth was surprised by his words, she still followed him into the restaurant.Honestly, the restaurant didn’t seem to be looking good, as there were only a few people in there.

However, she could tell from his eyes that he seemed to want something from them.Thus, Elspeth shook her head and insisted on sitting here.“I like cats and dogs. I don’t think we have to change seats since we are here for a meal. It’s not like anything will happen.” Then, she looked at her surroundings. “Plus, it’s dark in here, boss. Thus, nothing will change if we were to change seats.”Hearing her words, the owner twitched his lips and thought, How can she say these straightforwardly? That’s just embarrassing!Even so, the owner only smiled and went back to cooking the food.“Please pardon me. My uncle is an enthusiastic man. He has no bad intentions, though,” said Jaxon as he cleared his throat.Elspeth nodded and took a sip of the tea, indicating that she didn’t mind at all. “It’s fine. I can tell by his looks, so you don’t have to be nervous. However…”At that moment, Jaxon was tense. “What is it?”“I can see why your uncle’s business is going
