Chapter 261 - A family dinner together! (1/2)

The reunited family went out together after a long time.

Lia walked in the middle with her parents and held on to her father's hands tightly.

”Alright, here is the plan, we are going on food hunting to find a place to eat and then we will hit a dessert bar or so, for ice creams and cakes. How does it sound?” Ethan asked.

”I want big ice cream sundae,” Lia demanded with a pout.

Ethan agreed with a loud cheer, and Giselle smiled from watching them.

The three kept walking until they reached the busy city's big avenue, packed with numerous restaurants, cafes, bars, theatre, multi-complex mall, shopping stores, etc.

Ethan had the authority to choose for tonight's dinner, and he kept passing various restaurants until a particular spot sparked an interest.

Ethan noticed an outlet that appeared to be a diner, also serving American fast food. The turquoise blue color interior first caught Ethan's attention, and he peeked inside to find people enthusiastically enjoying their time. He also noticed a few families savoring their dinner. From the look of it, it seems to a local cuisine outlet known for its burgers and shakes.

Somehow the cheerful, active vibe that Ethan picked from this place, along with the smell of tasty food served, he lastly made his mind to eat here with his family.

”We'll dine here,” he said and dragged Lia inside in a swift.

Giselle followed them in a hurry. Just a few seconds lag, and Ethan already got them a table near a beautiful spot.

Lia waved at her mother to hurry, and when Giselle joined the table, she smirked and revealed with a blush of how her father tried sweet-talking with the lady.

Giselle eyed Ethan, and he suppressed his smile cheekily.

”Well, sweetie, isn't that an old news!” the mother observed.

Lia nodded her head nonstop, to confirm.

”Alright, enough. I'm your special guest, and so, no teasing me,” Ethan hissed.

The waiter bought the menu to the table and left to let them decide.

Giselle already chose her order, while Lia and Ethan discussed trying out a variety of menus. They placed orders and waited. While their food was getting cooked, Giselle updated about Lia's school and Mrs. Beth's helpful assistance. Lia chatted happily about her friends, and Ethan asked for their names, wishing that he could meet them.

”Mom, we should invite them now that dad is here,” Lia pleaded with her request.

”Woah!” Ethan said to his surprise in finding his daughter speak in an American accent and that too, a poor one.

”Yes, she is mixing it here and there,” Giselle informed.
