Chapter 80: Who Else Was Aware of the Pendant’s Disappearance?
"I want one chocolate coffee ice cream and one strawberry yogurt ice cream."
Standing opposite the paying counter, Calix ordered two ice creams. Irene told him to bring her to this ice cream shop – Moo’s Happy Scoop. He needed to do a short detour to go to Jadeite Peak later.
"Please take your orders there, mister," instructed the female staff, smiling brightly at Calix.
After slipping his credit card back into his wallet, Calix went to wait at the other side of the counter. His towering figure in a customized navy blue suit attracted attention.
Irene and Leslie were waiting for him at a corner of the shop, sitting next to the floor-to-ceiling glass wall. It was a table for four. Calix deliberately chose that one when Irene pointed to a two-seater table earlier.
"Hurm... I never think my brother-in-law will attract bees and butterflies wherever he goes," commented Irene, amused by how many pairs of eyes looked at Calix, "He surely notices that, doesn’t he?"
Leslie chuckled. Irene’s remarks tickled her heart. She could imagine Calix smiling proudly if he ever heard what Irene said.
Soon, Calix returned with two cones of ice cream. Irene stared at him in disbelief when he handed one ice cream to her.
"Brother-in-law, is the strawberry-flavored one yours?" Irene took the chocolate coffee ice cream from Calix, her eyes landed on his.
"What? Can’t a grownup man like me pick strawberry yogurt ice cream?" Calix raised his brows. He sat on the chair opposite Irene.
"No," Irene stared at her dark-colored ice cream, "But, I think the staff guessed my chocolate coffee was yours."
