Chapter 2040
Matthew had thought it was just a regular dessert when he wasn't told the price. But the price of 5,000
per serving gave it sparkle. While Matthew was pondering over it, he went along with what Tritus said
and began to carefully taste the truffle mousse. One spoonful, two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls, four...
Before he dug into the dessert for the fourth time, the small dessert was already gone. As for Roxanne,
she only had two bites. Meanwhile, Tritus and Eleanor had been thinking of how to target Matthew with
their words and didn't even have a chance to start eating.
"I'm sorry for eating it so quickly! It really does taste good!" Matthew wiped his mouth and spoke.
Seeing that Matthew also seemed to enjoy desserts, Roxanne smiled gently. "Mr. Larson, do you like
desserts too? Waiter, could you bring two more servings of the truffle mousse?"
Obviously, there were four people at the table. However, since Roxanne only ordered two, it meant that
she and Matthew would each have one additional serving. As for the scheming duo, they had to just
watch on.
"Wait, make it four," Roxanne added. Only then did the other two's expressions look a little better. Tritus
was also very happy inside. It seems that there's still a place for me in Roxanne's heart.
Unfortunately, he was happy too soon. Once the four servings of mousse arrived, Roxanne happily
took them over and said, "Here, Mr. Larson. These two servings are for you, and the rest will be for
me."
However, she soon realized that it was quite inappropriate. Biting her fork, she hesitated and said,
"Eating too much dessert is not good for a girl's figure." Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Then, she reluctantly gave one of her own servings to Matthew. "Mr. Larson, since you like this, do
have more of it. I'm on a diet."
Smiling sweetly, she then began to eat. All this while, she completely ignored the other two people
present, and even Eleanor began to feel jealous. Eleanor liked desserts too, and in the past, even if
Roxanne didn't eat them, she would leave Eleanor some. Since Roxanne met Matthew, she had
changed. As her good sister, Eleanor could not bear to see Roxanne angry. So, she had to make
Matthew take the anger of a jealous woman instead.
"Matthew, if you like this dessert so much, we can ask the kitchen to make more for you later to take
home. It's a rare opportunity for you to have such a high-class dessert. Don't worry about saving
money. Mr. Tritus has plenty of money, and if it's still not enough, he can get you a membership card for
this restaurant. That way, you can come here and eat whenever you want," said Eleanor.
Eleanor was chattering non-stop, and Matthew's dining experience suddenly became unpleasant. Why
talk so much? Can't we just eat in peace?
"Miss Eleanor Bane, just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush. It's tiring for you and
for me, isn't it?" he asked.
At this point, Roxanne also stopped eating and looked up. In the face of Roxanne's gaze, Eleanor
gritted her teeth and thought, Roxanne, everything I've done is for your own good. Don't blame me.
Then, she turned to Matthew. "Mr. Larson, I just want you to understand one thing. You can afford
some things for a lifetime if you're lucky, but with your conditions, you might never be able to afford
other things in your lifetime, like this truffle mousse. You can't even buy one with your monthly salary.
Do you think you can bring happiness to Roxanne?"
Bam!
It was Roxanne who slammed the table. After enduring it for a long time, she finally exploded. "Eleanor
Bane, shut up! Yes, we're sisters. But don't always use the excuse of caring for me to manipulate me. I
make my own decisions and opinions. Besides, Mr. Larson and I are just friends."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. After being scolded by Roxanne like that, Eleanor burst into
tears.
