Chapter 429: + - 429+
Angelo had a blank expression on his face as he walked with Nikolai to a cozy little restaurant. He was eating more in his involuntary time spent with the Mafia King than Silvia had ever gotten him to.
It was early enough that there were only a handful of people in the restaurant, Nikolai choosing to sit at the tables under the awning outside the restaurant.
Angelo had no choice but to sit stiffly with the Mafia King, the two of them standing out amid the aesthetic white furniture. A basket of freshly picked flowers sat at the center of the wooden table, the fragrance of pale pink petunias and freshly brewed coffee filling the space.
"Are you not going to eat?" Angelo had to ask when a bright-faced waitress came to take their order, she didn’t seem shaken by Nikolai’s presence.
He had never seen the Mafia King eat and he was starting to worry that maybe he just didn’t eat. However, the Alpha’s powerful physique begged to differ.
Nikolai looked up from the wretched laptop that he had also brought to the restaurant, "Order for me."
Angelo clammed up at that, starting to realize that maybe he should have just kept his mouth shut and ordered his breakfast. The restaurant had a breakfast special so he ordered two sets of that.
He leaned back in his seat after the waitress left, tucking his hair behind his ear, it was a cloudy morning, a cool breeze blowing his hair in his face.
Just a short distance away, people were hurrying to work, and a duo of uniformed middle schoolers skipped past. It felt like he was invisible, watching others live a normal life he would never get.
