Chapter 1638 Getting along.
Angelica had planned to go to the cafeteria for an informal meal, but now that Manuel had brought her along, she did not know what she would eat.
The two walked through the busy streets, which were still bright with the slanting sun shining half on the buildings and half on the street.
The little girl's heart was warmer than daylight as she was held in the arms of the man she liked, crossing the crosswalk and passing the various stores along the street.
"Where do you want to go? Manuel asked indifferently, casting her a glance.
With a red face of embarrassment, Angelica replied.
-Where, so go to this, behind your back.
Angelica didn't even bother to notice what the store behind her was, she just nodded, what she was really thinking was that as long as she was with him, she felt that whatever she ate must be delicious. "Let's go."
Manuel pulled her toward the store, and only when she was inside did Angelica realize that it was a grilled fish restaurant.
Grilled fish?
Angelica instantly regretted saying yes to anything, because she had never been able to spit bones since she was a child and it had gotten stuck in her throat as a child, which was so impressive that it got stuck in her throat and she ended up in the hospital.
It was a very memorable incident, which was always a shadow of Angelica.
It happened to the Ferrari family, and Manuel knew about it. He knew she didn't eat fish, so why did he bring her here?
Angelica felt a little offended at the thought that Manuel had forgotten that she had a problem with eating fish.
After thinking about it, Angelica felt that she was too pretentious; she had only been stuck once. It was natural for her to forget.
Soon, Angelica reassured herself that she was relieved.
After that, the waiter took them to the second floor, where they found a seat by the window.
"Would you like to see what kind of fish you would like?"
Angelica was about to take the menu when she touched the corner and found that Manuel had taken it too, so she withdrew her hand, "Then order, you."
After handing her the menu, Manuel turned to the waiter and said, "Can I have another one, please?"
"Yes."
The waiter quickly brought out a new menu.
"Do you want to see what you want to eat?"
What do I want to eat?
When you come to a grilled fish restaurant, grilled fish is usually the main attraction.
"We have many kinds of fish and many different flavors, what do you like?"
As she listened to the waiter's description, Angelica pinched herself nervously in a cold sweat and asked the waiter in a low voice, "Well, do you only have fish in the restaurant? Do you have any other snacks or anything else?"
"Of course, you can turn to the back and order some side dishes, which can be cooked, and some snacks, fried and desserts. Oh, and we recently added a new beer shrimp, would you like to try one?" Angelica looked at it, it was all highly caloric stuff, but shrimp was something she really liked.
She bit her lower lip, gave in, and ordered some vegetables and light snacks.
"Little girl, don't you want to try the shrimp? All the little girls who come here like to eat it, or are you worried that the shrimp in our store is not well done?"
"No, I just recently......"
"Serve her one."
At this point, Manuel offered to answer for Angelica.
"Okay."
"And serve a balsa fish, spicy."
Manuel ordered more in quick succession, and as Angelica listened and realized they were all her favorites, she blinked and then whispered, " Don't order so much, it's too late in the evening to eat that much." "Well, two more bowls of rice will do."
"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you."
After the waiter left, Angelica said, "You ordered too much, what if we can't finish it?"
"Can't you eat it all?" Manuel raised his eyebrows and looked at her with amusement, "You loved everything so much. Do you think you can't even eat it now?
This made Angelica blush inexplicably because she seemed to be a big eater, which used to be okay with Angelica, but not anymore.
- Of course I can't. I don't have the same appetite as before, Angelica said confidently. I haven't eaten more than one plate in six months.
True, except for the day she drank coffee until she vomited, Angelica has been very restrained since she decided to lose weight in the new year and had a real craving when she started cutting back. When time passed slowly, the cravings stopped.
Manuel poured a cup of tea and brought it to the young girl, saying in a deep voice, "You're not an adult yet, you're in the growth phase, it's better not to lose weight."
At these words, Angelica curled her lips, "Soon, in six months, I will be an adult, and I'm not losing weight, I'm doing it for exercise."
"Are you afraid your brother will hate you?"
Angelica: "......"
Suddenly the question was so direct that Angelica did not even know how to answer.
"No, no, you don't think I lose weight for you, do you?"
Manuel, sitting across from her, raised an eyebrow; he didn't even need to answer, he only needed to look at her in silence and Angelica would press herself.
Sure enough, when he didn't answer, Angelica again explained in all the sinful ways, "I'm not losing weight for you, nor am I afraid you won't like me."
Manuel's lips curled slightly and he still did not respond.
Angelica, a little anxious, said gruffly, "Manuel! I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
"Oh, yes. If you're not trying to lose weight for your me, no need to explain, what's your hurry?"
"I'm in no hurry."
Angelica was not anxious, but when Manuel said this, she became really anxious.
Manuel saw that her ears were turning red and realized that he could no longer tease her, so he had to turn the tables on her.
"Come on, I'm just kidding, have some tea to quench your thirst, the fish will come up later."
But Angelica was so impatient with him that she felt embarrassed to put the steps in front of her now and ask her to come down, and luckily the sales clerk came up with the fish at that moment. Since the fish was the kind you cook in a square pan wrapped in foil and had yet to burn underneath, Manuel got up and sat down next to Angelica, his tall body shielding her.
"Here."
Manuel said lightly, "Let's start with some snacks."
The snacks were brought quickly, all sweet stuff, and Angelica looked at them, not daring to put her hands on them.
The sweet stuff was the most caloric, and if she ate too much of it, it would take her a long time to get to the end.
It was best to restrain herself.
"It's all for you, so if you don't eat it, it will all go to waste later."
