Chapter 90 - 090. Taste Changed_1
Adam Jones was briefly stunned and when he looked at Elly Campbell, he caught her tugging the corners of her lips in an ambiguous smile before she stepped inside without a word.
Gazing at Elly’s slender silhouette, Adam remembered the mocking edge to her smile from just a moment ago. His heart suddenly tightened, and he stood outside the restaurant in silence for several seconds before abruptly remembering something.
He recalled the time when they had just married, one day she waited for him below the Jones Corporation building to tell him that a new spicy restaurant with a fantastic reputation had opened in the commercial plaza near his company. She had made several attempts to reserve a table and finally succeeded, wanting to invite him to dine with her.
Back then, without saying anything, he had coldly dropped the sentence, "I don’t eat spicy food," and left, leaving her standing alone in front of the Jones Corporation building for a long time.
Now, reflecting on the way her expectant smile had instantly stiffened and then turned into a look of disappointment, Adam felt a sudden sharp tug at his heart, so tight it was almost painful.
Standing outside for a while, he eventually went in. Elly had already sat down by the window, casually flipping through the menu that the waiter had brought over. Because of the earlier incident, Adam felt somewhat guilty and even found it hard to look directly at her.
Elly ordered a few dishes then handed the menu back to the waiter. After Adam placed his order, the waiter left.
The two sat opposite each other, and another awkward silence fell. Reminded of his past unkind behavior, he felt somewhat guilty and couldn’t maintain the dominant and overbearing attitude he had at the beginning.
Elly, on the other hand, just wanted to eat her meal and leave as soon as possible. She had absolutely no intention of speaking to Adam.
