Since She Met Lucian

Why can't it just be easy to eat Western food? She complained on the inside but on the outside, she kept a straight face.

The dishes were placed on the table and they all looked marvelous which made Amelia's mouth water.

"Eat up," Lucian said in a low voice. He cut the beef with knife and fork rather skillfully, his cream-colored fingers blending in with the Chinaware.

Meanwhile, Amelia looked confused as she held her knife and fork. She didn't know which hand to use.

She liked to eat spicy food so whenever she went out with Jasper, they always ate Chinese food or hotpot. She'd never been to such a fancy restaurant before.

She'd seen actors eat like this on TV before but that didn't really help with her confusion.

Noticing the look on her face, Lucian put his utensils down and reached out to reposition how Amelia was holding her knife and fork. "Okay, that's good," he quipped.

Amelia blushed in embarrassment as she still didn't know what to do. The silence weighed in on her as Lucian continued to eat his meal.

She took a deep breath. She was at a loss because she still didn't know what to do.

She needed to have her knife in her right hand and her fork in her left hand. Amelia muttered to herself, trying to bear all of this in mind as she tried to eat.

Lucian seemed to read her mind. He said, "There are no rules. You don't have to be so nervous. Just eat however you want to eat."

"Really?" With her eyes wide open, Amelia smiled in relief. When Lucian nodded, she turned and asked a waiter standing nearby for some chopsticks.

While the waiter was momentarily stunned, he was quickly able to recover—he put on a smile and nodded.

When she turned her head to meet Lucian's eyes, she felt a little embarrassed and her face flushed. Then she reached out for a piece of cake and said frankly, "Well, you told me there are no rules. I can eat however I want..."

Lucian smiled tenderly. 'She really is special,' he thought affectionately to himself.

"I prefer to use chopsticks!" She started helping herself to the food excitedly.

Lucian took his glass of red wine and took a sip, looking as elegant as ever. When he tipped his head a bit so he could drink from his glass, his profile looked perfect.

Lucian really was a different kind of handsome—it was unparalleled.
