Chapter 66: Let’s Head Out Together
Hearing the word “food,” Abigail stopped following Leon, resting her chin on one hand as she fell into thought.
Leon didn’t pause. He went straight back inside, downed a large glass of cold water, and splashed his face.
A moment later, Abigail pushed the door open and walked in, acting as if she were returning to her own home. She headed straight for Leon’s mini fridge and pulled it open.
“I want meat, but it looks like you don’t have any in here.” She scanned the contents with clear disappointment.
“Fish?” Leon asked.
“No, I mean chicken, beef, that sort of thing.”
Leon looked genuinely surprised. “Pelican Town sells chicken and beef?”
“Why wouldn’t it? You don’t think Pelican Town is some poor backwater, do you?” Abigail shot him a disdainful look.
“Not exactly. It’s just that I’ve never seen Gus serve that kind of ingredient at the Starfruit Saloon, and your family’s general store doesn’t sell it either. I figured people here didn’t eat poultry, pork, beef, or lamb.” Leon shrugged casually.
