Chapter 443: + - 443+
The burly Alpha caught sight of them first, he walked over to nudge Davian. "Isn’t that your mate?"
Davian looked up, dropping the knife in his hands at the sight of Lake, he walked around the counter, heading to the door. "Were you looking for me?"
Lake could only nod, still not comprehending what was going on. He had expected chaos, and a lot of broken teeth, not his mate taking up a job at the restaurant they went to eat dinner at.
"I tried calling but you didn’t pick up," He scolded, "Where did you toss your phone?"
Davian reached into his pocket under the apron, wincing at the sight of the missed calls he had gotten.
"You said you were going to the bathroom," Lake kept going off, "But I went there and didn’t find you, I even called Doctor Perez..." He trailed off to glance at his phone, remembering that he had called the doctor.
Doctor Perez had hung up the moment he heard Davian’s voice, if the Alpha was there, it meant that Lake would be safe. He would find out what happened when he joined them at the beach house.
"It was loud in the kitchen so I didn’t hear my phone ring," Davian tried to explain, his voice quiet. "I wanted to learn to cook the spicy seafood platter you like so much."
Lake’s unease at being unable to find Davian melted away completely, he knew that Davian had a good reason for disappearing but it didn’t help his panic at being unable to find his mate.
He wanted to hug Davian to soothe his scolding from earlier but the Alpha’s messy apron dissuaded him, "You should have eaten first, your food has gone cold."
The server snapped out of the haze of longing she had fallen into, getting to observe such a loving couple from up close was enough to make anyone sigh with longing. "The kitchen will be happy to remake your order," She enthusiastically spoke up, leaving the kitchen to go retrieve the food forgotten on the table.
