They returned to pick them up for dinner.
Elowen had already packed up everything Morton needed.
Including Morton’s stroller, which was to be placed in the trunk.
Elijah directed the driver to load the belongings into the car.
He took Morton from Freya’s arms.
Morton had fair skin and a cute little face.
He kissed his son’s cheek.
Morton grinned, revealing eight tiny, white, rice-sized teeth!
Freya wiped his drool.
“Oh dear.”
Elijah asked, “Freya, does Morton’s mouth look like yours?”
Small, pink.
Freya glared at him, “I gave birth to him, of course it looks like me.”
“No, just the mouth looks like you.” Elijah carefully examined his young son, “Nose, eyes, cheeks, all look like me.”
Freya sighed.
She had carried the baby for ten months.
So much effort.
And the child resembled the father.
“Let’s go!” Elijah put his arm around her shoulder.
Elowen got in the car with Kai.
Eagle drove.
Elijah and Freya sat in another car, driven by the family chauffeur.
Evan had reserved the restaurant at China Gate.
The top-floor private room at China Gate.
It was a private restaurant.
The dishes here were hardly found elsewhere.
Especially their signature White Truffle Fishbone Soup, with shark fins as the fishbone, the soup was fragrant and the fishbone silky, melting in the mouth, a taste no other restaurant could replicate.
Pan-fried Wagyu beef and juicy steak, leaving a lingering fragrance and not greasy.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, now common, but no one could make it as authentic as here, with seafood ingredients being the freshest.
Grilled tender bamboo shoots, steamed crab roe powder, white jade tofu, every dish was a delight to the senses.
However, the food was not only expensive but also exclusive to members.
Inside the private room, there was a full-length floor-to-ceiling window.
Sitting inside, you could overlook half the city.
Because Evan had arranged everything in advance.
As soon as they arrived, the dishes were served.
Hardly any waiting required.
They had prepared everything at the designated time.
Kai wanted to sit next to Sacha.
He seemed to know that Sacha would leave after dinner, so he kept holding her hand.
Kai, who was usually lively and playful, was now quiet, and Sacha asked him softly, “What’s wrong? You seem quiet.”
Kai leaned against her without answering.
Sacha laughed, “Could it be that you don’t want me to leave?”
Kai was stubborn and denied, “No way.”
Freya glanced at them and then at Kai, sighing slightly, feeling a pang of melancholy in her heart.
If only she had given him enough company.
He wouldn’t have readily relied on someone else.
Sacha had only been at the house for two days.
She reached out and took Morton from Elijah’s arms, whispering, “I’ll hold him while you eat.”
Elijah asked her to eat first.
Elowen said, “Let me hold him.”
“Today, you eat well.” Elijah said.
Elowen took care of the children.
Sometimes when they were eating, if the child woke up, cried, or got cranky, she had to hold them.
By the time the child fell asleep, the food would have gone cold.
Evan asked Elowen to try the crab roe powder.
Elowen replied with her fork, “Everyone else is eating, so I might as well.”
She picked up a piece of crab roe powder and put it in her mouth.
It was fresh, and she thought it would be soft, but it was crispy, with not only freshness but also a subtle roasted aroma.
The taste was unexpected.
Hard to describe.
Freya fetched food for Elijah.
He was holding Morton, making it inconvenient to grab food himself.
She remembered Orion’s situation and asked, “Orion has been detained, did you know?”
Evan also looked over.
“What did he do wrong?”
Freya answered, “Drunk driving, detained for fifteen days.”
Evan said, “I’ll go see him later.”
Elijah remained expressionless, not saying anything.
Nobody knew what he was thinking.
