Mysterious Little Wife

Chapter 29 These Are Expensive, for God’s Sake!

Meanwhile, Lacey and "Cloud" boarded a taxi.

"Why don't you give Alina a call? My cell phone ran out of battery. Tell her I picked you up." Lacey, sitting in the passenger seat, looked back at the man. 

"I'm sorry, but my phone went dead as well." Cloud lifted an apologetic look. 

What a coincidence? Lacey frowned slightly. "Oh, that's okay. let's find you a place to settle down, after which I'll bring you to Alina." 

"But I'm hungry," he said abruptly. 

Lacey took a pause. Hungry? 

She checked time, only to find out that it was already past eleven o'clock. It made sense that he got hungry.

Still, she hadn't yet contacted Alina! 

"Would you mind taking me out to breakfast?" His charming features gleamed even more as his lips curled slightly. 

"Well, sure, let's fill up our bellies. I'll contact Alina only after that. What would you like to eat? It's on me!" Lacey beamed.

"Well, I do miss the taste of a particular restaurant in South City!" Cloud's face showed a look of anticipation. 

Lacey did not respond but continued to raise her smile. The man's words revealed that this was not his first visit to South City. 

Little did she know that her smile would be gone in 40 minutes.

"The food here is amazing!" Cloud took a seat and handed Lacey the menu. 

Lacey frowned and bit her lower lip. She was astonished when she found out that a dish here would cost over three hundred dollars!

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Noticing her hesitation, Cloud couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"
