Following Bennett inside, Yvonne discovered it was an exclusive restaurant. There was no sign outside; it only served regulars.
"Mr. Thompson, you're here!" The owner, a plump and friendly-looking woman in her early forties, greeted them with a smile. Her gaze shifted to Yvonne, and she teased, "Is this your girlfriend? She's absolutely beautiful."
Bennett smiled, his features softening. "The usual, please. Oh, and hold the seafood. My girlfriend is allergic."
"Got it. You two head on up to your room, and I'll get everything arranged right away."
Bennett led Yvonne into a private room on the second floor.
The room’s decor had an old-money aesthetic. Yvonne walked over to a record player, put on a classic jazz record, and a smooth melody filled the air.
The old vinyl record had a unique charm.
Yvonne sat on a nearby sofa, resting her chin in her hand and humming along to the music.
The restaurant wasn't crowded, so the food arrived quickly. They had ordered four dishes and a soup, all exquisite and delicious.
"These are all the house specialties. See what you think," Bennett said, picking up his fork and serving some food onto Yvonne's plate.
Yvonne had only eaten one meal that day—airplane food. Even in first class, it had been less than impressive.
She took a bite of the sweet and sour ribs; they were genuinely delicious.
"This place opened four years ago, and almost all the signature dishes are your favorites. Back then, I used to think that if you were still around, you would've loved it."
Bennett continued to serve her food as he spoke.
"Mm, it's really delicious." Yvonne's eyes curved into a smile. "Bennett, I'm here to stay now."
Bennett’s hand paused for a moment before he continued serving the food.
