The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2359

After they arrived at the restaurant, Mara found a table and sat. Balfour was about to sit next to Ivy when Mara tugged at his sleeve. "Balfour, what are you waiting for over there? Come on, take a seat."

"I was going to—"

Before Balfour could finish his sentence, Nolan was already helping Ivy into her seat, even looking up at him innocently. "Balfour, why are you still standing?"

With a cold expression, Balfour could only take a seat next to Mara.

"Hello, what can I get for the four of you today? Would you like me to recommend some of our specials?"

A waitress approached them, her eyes sparkling as she took in the attractive group before her, though she managed to restrain her excitement.

The lady seated inside looked like that famous actress who's all the rage recently. Her best friend was a huge fan, but at that moment, she couldn't recall her name.

"No, thanks, I've been here before. Let's have four orders of the grilled beef, one serving of the seared prawns, a bowl of the thick soup, and a cream salad—but hold the kale. Mr. Howard isn't fond of that at all. See if there's anything else you'd like, but the grilled beef here is second to none, so I took the liberty of ordering for everyone."

Ivy handed the menu over to Nolan. She wasn't much for lunch; as long as it filled her up, she was content.

"Let's add two of your recommended entrees and a bowl of the creamy pumpkin soup. That should be enough."

The four of them would have plenty to eat with this. As they waited for their meal, Mara suddenly called out to Ivy, asking her to accompany her to the restroom. Ivy was perplexed.
