Upon seeing that Demi was about to start ordering, Minerva quickly called out, “No! I-I mean, please don’t order the signature dishes. T-They don’t look particularly interesting. Uh… Why don’t we order some local cuisine? Aren’t you always saying that you miss that kind of food, Mom?”

Chloe immediately understood and she answered with a smile, “Oh—yes, I am. I didn’t get to eat the local food from my youth while I was abroad, so I missed them dearly. Let’s just get those, then.”

With a pout, Demi protested, “I thought you said you were no longer used to the local food, Aunt Chloe!”

This successfully made Chloe incredibly embarrassed.

Glaring at Demi, Helen said, “Shut up! Just ignore her, Chloe. You haven’t been home in so long; it’s completely understandable that you would like to have some local food. Minerva, you don’t have to order too much. I’m not quite hungry tonight and your uncle has had quite a few snacks this afternoon, so we won’t be able to eat much.”

Dumbfounded, James stared at his wife. Since when did I eat any snacks? he grumbled to himself.

However, he couldn’t criticize her right now because he knew that she was only trying to make Chloe feel better.

Overjoyed, Minerva flipped to the back of the menu, where the local foods were listed.

Unfortunately, even after doing so, she was unable to make her decision.
