Ariana's face turned beet red. She wondered what on earth got into Lambert today.
She shot him a glance before he finally averted his gaze reluctantly. He then said, "Fine, we can eat anything. Of course if you two don't want to be bothered by others, we can eat separately." After saying this, he added, "Thinking about your romantic solitude."
Allison: "..."
Stefan chuckled and said, "So you're not bothering us, or you don't want us to bother you?"
Lambert's face remained expressionless. He said impassively, "Are you sure you want me to tell the truth?"
Stefan: "..."
Ariana was left helpless.
She wordlessly shot a glance at Lambert, signaling him to shut up.
Next, Ariana said, "Allison really can't eat some Western food because she's pregnant. Let's go to Yami's Restaurant. The food there is good, and it's clean and hygienic. I like their roast duck."
Allison's eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "I'd be fine with anything edible!"
Ariana's eye corner twitched instantly.
And Lambert's expression changed the moment he heard his wife say she liked the food at Yami's Restaurant. He cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I also think their food is good. Let's go there then." He paused, then sincerely said to Stefan, "Have you considered getting separate private rooms? I'm afraid we'll ruin your appetites."
Stefan: "..."
Ariana: "..."
…
In the end, the four of them ended up at Yami's Restaurant together and ordered a private room. This thoroughly shattered all of Lambert's wild fantasies.
Lambert sighed, thinking helplessly about how his dream of having an intimate world with Ariana had been shattered.
Seeing the state of his friend, Stefan immediately felt a bit better.
He was indeed tempted when Lambert proposed the idea. Who would like to have an extra pair of people around while eating with his wife? However, after so many years of friendship, the only tacit understanding between Stefan and Lambert was their little mind game of 'as long as the other person isn't comfortable, he will be satisfied'.
So, even if he himself was regretful, thinking about the other person being in the same situation made him feel relieved instantly.
Allison was looking at the menu, her shiny big eyes roving back and forth for a long time, finally, she told the waiter, "We'll take five pounds of crayfish."
Stefan was suddenly taken aback, and he quickly said, "Spicy food is not good for the child."
Allison frowned, so she reluctantly glanced at the menu and changed her order, "Then we will have the mud crabs! Um, have four king crabs, the heaviest ones."
Stefan turned pale, he continued, "No, it's not possible. Crabs are cold in nature, which is even worse for pregnant women."
Allison: "......"
Both Lambert and Ariana sat on the opposite side, watching this interesting pair, especially when they saw Allison's puffed-up look of anger, Ariana found it even more amusing.
She knew her friend the best.
Finally having the chance to taste the crayfish she craved, Allison's eyes filled with satisfaction and happiness.
Unable to hold back her laughter at the sight, Ariana shook her head and turned towards Stefan, "What's the procedure for the wedding? Allison might get tired if the process is too complicated. Try to keep it simple yet elegant."
Stefan had already considered this. So when Ariana asked, he directly replied, "I understand. The wedding will be simple and not too lavish. I plan to hold a smaller wedding first, only inviting some close friends and family. Then, after our child is born, we will have a larger wedding, and invite relatives along with business partners, and so on."
Lambert, who had remained silent all this while, suddenly spoke up, "Won't we have to give wedding gifts twice?"
Stefan: "..."
Lambert looked discontentedly at his friend, then winked at Ariana, saying, "Ariana, how much did they gift us at our wedding? If it comes to this, we should also hold another wedding, what do you think?"
Stefan: "...Can you just disappear from my sight right now? I don't want to see you!"
Lambert glanced at him and arrogantly said, "Ah, I feel the same."
Allison practically burst into laughter. She blinked at Ariana, and surprisingly agreed with Lambert's words. She added, "I think that's a good idea Ariana, we can do it together. What do you think?"
Ariana: "...I don't think it's a good idea." Ariana said helplessly, looking at the three of them, "Since when do you hold a wedding again and again? Stop messing around."
Lambert seemed disappointed. He looked up and reluctantly suggested, "Hmm, then let's go with a smaller one."
Stefan: "...Lambert, are you planning to get rich off my wedding gifts?"
Lambert looked back at him and smiled in a provoking manner, "Yes. I don't have any properties left now. There isn't a penny left in my hands, so I need to be careful about every expense. How else would I support my wife?"
