Chapter 65- as Karl’s girlfriend
Karl stepped in to smooth things over, casting a gentle smile toward Lilian.
"Hey babe, so you like fish, huh? No worries, no worries. Come here, I’ll help you get as much as you want. No paywalls, my favorite kind of site. Gotta leave a good review for that!"
Then, with the care of a devoted boyfriend, he used his chopsticks to pile piece after piece of fish onto her plate.
Lilian’s skin prickled all over at the way Karl casually called her "babe." What the hell was he thinking? Why all of a sudden so attentive? Their whole thing was just pretend anyway.
Across the table, Morrison’s face was already stormy, and Karl’s arm around Lilian’s shoulder, calling her "babe" like that, made Morrison look like he was ready to flip the table.
Karl filled Lilian’s plate with a generous helping of fish and said affectionately,
"Eat up. My dad’s cooking is top-notch. If you like it, come over anytime and I’ll have him cook for you."
"Thank you..." Lilian replied softly, lowering her head to eat quickly.
Morrison, sitting opposite, took a few bites of fish then set down his chopsticks, turning to his father.
"Dad, your cooking’s really slipped lately. This fish tastes awful."
He then glanced at Lilian and added,
"Next time you’ve got important guests, just let me know ahead of time. I’ll cook for them myself."
