After seeing Eliana drawing Hodge’s attention, Maurice heaved a sigh of relief.

However, noticing that Hodge had come there alone, he felt that something was suspicious.

How could Gerald have let Hodge come alone?

Such a move did not match up with his personality.

Sensing that something was fishy, Maurice frowned deeply.

At the same time, Eliana did not think as much as he did. She was only keen on finding out the truth about the past from Hodge.

“Please have a seat,” Eliana said.

Hodge complied and sat down from across her.

Facing each other, they felt awkward and did not know what to say.

Five years ago, Hodge had been one of her father’s most trusted friends, but things had changed since. Recalling that, mixed feelings rose in Eliana’s heart.

That moment, a waiter walked over with a menu card.

“Sir, miss, may I take your order?”

Hodge glanced at Eliana, and said to the waiter, “Please take the lady’s order first.”

With the menu in her hand, Eliana was lost in thought for a while.

“A cup of Spanish latte and a Schwarzwald cake for the gentleman. And I will take a cappuccino and a tiramisu, please.”

“Yes, ma’am.”
