Chapter 359 I’d Like to Try

She looked at him so innocently that Lucas’s heart softened. “Will you be alright if I decide?”

“Sure!”

Marion was easy about choosing a place to eat. Lucas had a more discerning palate when it came to food. Anything he found delicious, she would not find lacking.

Lucas took her to ‘Vin’s Garden‘ a restaurant serving Italian cuisine. Marion had been there once with Cassie. It was slightly pricey but the food was impeccable.

Marion’s favorite dish at Vin’s Garden was the burnt cheesecake. It was sweet but not cloying, fluffy, and delicious. She was not particularly fond of desserts, but the cheesecake suited her taste.

The restaurant was quite crowded on weekends, and Marion was worried they might not get a table. To her surprise, after getting out of the car, Lucas led her straight in. The doorman recognized him. ” Welcome, Mr. Craig.‘

At a nod from Lucas, someone came to escort them to a private room.

The window–side rooms were always popular, with a view overlooking a small stream. There were even ducks swimming in the artificial stream, surrounded by peach blossoms on both sides.

Marion took a photo and sent it to Cassie. She then put her phone aside and picked up the iPad to order.

The last time she was there with Cassie, they tried the Beef Lasagna and Black Risotto.

This time, Marion skipped those and chose the Mushroom Truffle Pizza, Gnocchi di Patate, and Bruschetta with Pickled Okra. Just as she was about to hand the iPad to Lucas, she suddenly remembered his aversion to overly sweet and sour flavors.

Glancing at Lucas, she swapped the Bruschetta with Pickled Okra for Chopped Italian Salad. That

should be sufficient for the two of them.

“I’ve placed the order.”

Lucas added the Classic Italian Meatballs and then proceeded to confirm the order.

“It’s hard to book a private room here. Cassie tried for days and never managed to get one!”

Lucas took a sip of water. “This place belongs to Martin. I’ll have him reserve a private room for you next time.”

Marion was pleasantly surprised. “How can I possibly accept such kindness?”

“The next time you or Cassie comes, just mention my name.”

Marion looked at him with joy. “Is that okay?”

When she looked at people so seriously, her round eyes always made it impossible to look away.

“What’s not okay about that?” He raised an eyebrow, lightly tapping the table with his index finger.

“Then we’ll mention your name next time.”

“Mrs. Craig works just as well, you know.”

Marion hummed and picked up her glass of water to hide her embarrassment. However, her ears betrayed her, turning as red as cooked shrimp.

Expensive dishes often reflected their quality. Although the portions were small, the four dishes were enough for Marion and Lucas. The taste was heavenly.

After the meal, Marion had two cups of tea to cleanse her palate before indulging in her long–awaited brunt cheesecake. She nibbled at it slowly, savoring each bite.

Lucas watched her eat as he resisted the urge to pinch her cheeks. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Is it really that good?”

He was not fond of desserts.

Marion looked at the cake on her plate and then at him. “It’s not very sweet. Do you want to try some?

“If you’re offering…then yes, I’d like to try some.‘

Marion smiled awkwardly and picked up a small piece she had bitten into with her fingers.

Lucas opened his mouth and took a bite of the cake. When he closed his lips, they brushed against her index finger.

Marion’s face grew warm, and she quickly withdrew her hand. She blinked at him. “How is it?”
