Chapter 503 - Five Hundred And Three: As Hungry As A Rhino (1/2)

The third point of view:

”What is this?” Anabelle poked her food with the fork in distaste.

”Classic spaghetti with tomato sauce,” Isabella tipped her head questioningly, ”What were you expecting?”

”Well for starters, sausage and spinach Fettuccine Alfredo, my favorite,” Anabelle hoped her cousin would change her mind. Look at this, the spaghetti wasn't even deliciously garnished. Who in the world eats this?

[A/N: well, almost everybody in the world who doesn't have six zero digits in their account]

”For starters, in your dream,” She retorted with a smile that didn't reach her cheeks, ”Now, shut your mouth and eat,” Isabella pointed out her bad table manners.

However, Anabelle didn't give up.

”Come on Izzy, we're eating in the open.” She hinted it's less hygienic.

Although they were eating outside the kiosk, the environment was clean but less flamboyant than the fancy restaurant Anabelle was used to. Moreover, it was cheap - that was the best part.

Isabella had high hopes they wouldn't last much in hiding but then, they had to be prepared for the worst. This is why she had she had to be scrupulous in finances since their credit cards have been blocked - their parents were hoping they would run out of finances and return home.

”Anabelle, the place is clean - I don't see what you're fussing about. Also, you get to eat under the open sky which is full of stars right now - you see, great view,” Pedro attempted to persuade her.

”Sure, babe. Try it, it's quite tasty,” Julie rolled the noodles with his fork and brought it to her lips enticingly, ”Here, have a bite,”

There was a deep furrow between Anabelle's brows as she stared at the food.

”Say ahh,” Julie pressed on.

Just for his sake, Anabelle opened her mouth and swallowed the disgusting thing. One should see the way her face distorted as if a bitter liquid was shoved down her throat. However, her tongue performed its purpose and something strange happened.

”Huh?” One of Anabelle's brows raised when she detected something sweet.

”You want more?” Julie noticed the sudden change in her.

Anabelle slowly nodded.

He gladly fed her.

Although her response wasn't eager, she took the food willingly.

”Again?” Julie was surprised. Didn't she say she didn't like it? Moreover, why wasn't she eating from her plate right in front of her, why his? He hadn't even eaten much - god damn it, he was hungry.

”Again?”

She nodded.

”Why don't you eat yours?” he tipped his head in the direction of her plate.

Anabelle pouted, ”Yours taste much better,”

”Tsk tsk, low key flirting,” Isabella commented while Pedro was amused by how everything turned out.
