Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 174

On the way, Ethan asked Dawn to call home and say they wouldn't be back for dinner. She did as he said, then tilted her head and asked, "Why aren't we going home to eat?"

He glanced at her. "There's a new Southeast Avoria restaurant on the east side of town. Alice said it's good, so I want to take you to try it."

"Southeast Avoria food? Why didn't you ask if I even like it first?"

"Doesn't matter."

"Wow, your mouth is 98.6 degrees but somehow still this cold!"

"Shouldn't Ms. Porter know better than anyone if my mouth is cold or not?"

He's never serious!

In the rearview mirror, Ethan caught a glimpse of Dawn's stunned look and chuckled lazily. "It's not what we eat that matters; it's who we're eating with. My friends told me it was good, and I just wanted you to try it. If you really don't like it, we can go somewhere else."

Dawn turned to look at him. The light inside the car was dim, and the streetlights flashing by made his face look almost magical.

She suddenly felt a little dazed.

"Ethan."

"Yeah?"

"Don't be so good to me."

She turned her head away, her smile so faint it looked like it might vanish with the next breeze. In a low voice, she said, "Just be normally good."

Ethan raised his brows, his dark eyes unreadable.

After a while, the light ahead turned red.

He stepped on the brake and turned to her, half-smiling. "You're my girl. Of course you should have the best the world has to offer. Otherwise, people out there might laugh at me."

Ethan, afraid of being laughed at?

The thought made Dawn chuckle to herself.

The topic ended there, and they soon arrived at the restaurant.

The place was beautifully designed and peaceful. In the main hall, there was a big winding water feature. The mix of modern style and natural touches felt just right.

The restaurant was made up entirely of private rooms, so it was very private.

Ethan had already ordered, and the server knocked on the door and came in a little while later.

Dawn looked up and suddenly saw a familiar person walking by behind the server. She frowned and wondered if she was seeing things.

Ethan asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

What was he asking?
