Chapter 167: The Same Kind of Person
"Alright, alright, enough with the bickering, it’s time to eat," Richard said as he playfully patted Amelia on the backside. "You always try to get the upper hand whenever you see Eric."
"Of course! He used to bully me all the time when we were kids," Amelia retorted with a grin.
Ella was a bit surprised—they had known each other since childhood, which explained why Amelia was so familiar with Eric.
Rachel sat at the far end of the table, maintaining her gentle and graceful demeanor, the perfect picture of a well-mannered lady.
During dinner, Ella noticed that Rachel’s gaze kept drifting toward Eric, a subtle but undeniable intensity in her eyes.
Ella understood perfectly—Rachel had definitely fallen for Eric. But too bad for her, this perfect man was already taken by Ella.
Eric was exceptionally considerate, serving Ella several pieces of fish and even picking out the bones for her. Later, when they had lobster, he peeled the shell and placed the meat in her bowl. This prompted Amelia to complain jokingly about how she was stuck with Richard, who was all about being served and never thought about being thoughtful. "I’ve got such bad luck," she sighed.
Richard, feigning anger, retorted through gritted teeth, "Amelia, you talk too much. Just wait; soon, I’ll make sure your mouth isn’t so idle!"
Amelia glared at him and playfully twisted his ear, making Richard yelp in protest.
Ella burst out laughing. Amelia and Richard were such a lively pair, and watching them bicker lightened the mood.
It seemed that less considerate men also had sharp tongues.
