“Perfect timing! We’re sick of eating at home too. Why don’t we all go out together?”

Mrs. King stood up cheerfully and turned to her husband. “What do you think, honey?”

“I was just thinking the same thing. I’m tired of home cooking,” Mr. King agreed.

Nathan and Evelyn exchanged awkward looks.

Go out to eat?

They hadn’t done that in ages.

Evelyn quickly tried to smooth things over. “Well… going out is fine, I guess. But we wouldn’t even know where to go.”

“There’s a great spot just downstairs,” Mrs. King replied. “Unless Madam Evelyn doesn’t like us?”

“No, of course not-”

“Then let’s go together! It’s just around the corner, not far at all.”

Evelyn had never met anyone as dense as Mrs. King.

She seemed totally oblivious. Mr. King wasn’t any better–both of them were already urging Nathan and Evelyn toward the elevator.

Evelyn shot her husband a look of frustration.

All they’d planned was to whip up a few dishes to entertain these strangers. Now they were being roped into treating them to a restaurant meal.

Spending money on two complete strangers? What a waste.

Especially when Naomi had told them not to leave the apartment.

But there was no way out. The couple was already heading out with huge smiles on their faces, so Nathan and Evelyn had no choice but to change clothes and follow them downstairs.

From the way Mrs. King had described it, Evelyn had assumed it was just a casual spot.

Instead, it turned out to be a fancy, high–end restaurant with sleek decor.

Which meant overpriced dishes that didn’t taste half as good.

Mrs. King and her husband acted like it was their first time there. She chattered excitedly about the menu, asking what “Mr. Nathan” liked to eat, and started ordering all kinds of fancy items–abalone, sea cucumber, you name it.

She pointed to nearly everything

Mr. King went straight for crabs and lobster. In just a few minutes, they’d already ordered over a dozen dishes.

Evelyn’s heart clenched with each item added. She quickly spoke up. “That’s enough! Really, that’s more

“Oh, it’s no problem. We can just pack up the leftovers and take them home. Since it’s our first time here, we wanted to ny a little bit of everything.”

Mrs. King didn’t seem to notice the strained simile on Evelyn’s face.

Nathan was getting more annoyed by the minute.

What kind of person shamelessly orders this much food when they’re being treated?

“I think that’s enough,” he said stiffly. “It’s just the four of us. No way we can finish all this.”

His tone was cold and condescending.

Mrs. King pouted. “Mr. Nathan is right. We young folks were being too eager. Let’s stop here.”

She reluctantly set the menu down, as if they’d wronged her somehow.

Evelyn was at a loss for words.

Weren’t they the ones footing the bill?

Why did it suddenly feel like they were the ones taking advantage?

Still, they didn’t want to make a scene with neighbors, so Evelyn decided to just get through the evening and cut ties afterward.

Dinner finally ended.

Mrs. King made a show of patting her pockets and gasping. “Oh no, I totally forgot–I left my phone at home! We were in pajamas when we came down, so I didn’t bring anything… I meant to treat you tonight

too.”

Her meaning couldn’t have been clearer.

Evelyn forced a smile. “You already brought us that beef stew. Of course you’re not paying tonight.”

She pulled out her phone and opened her payment app.

Mrs. King giggled. “You’re so generous. Thank you!”

The server came in. “Your total today is 3,800 dollars. How would you like to pay?”

Evelyn’s eye twitched.
