Chapter 166 First

"That…" Sarah's face looked a little troubled. Tonight she plans to meet Michael and explain what happened.

"Aww… come on, give this man a chance to try and cheer you up, okay?" Steve continued when he saw Sarah was about to turn him down again.

Seeing Sarah's demeanor during lunch convinced Steve that something had happened to her, and that… bothered him. His brain has been working hard all day on how to comfort the woman.

Even though he knew that it wouldn't take away whatever the woman was thinking, but even if it was just a little, he wanted to help her ease the burden on her mind.

Sarah bit her lower lip when she heard Steve's words and the way he looked into her face.

"Okay, let's have dinner," Sarah said, finally choosing to accept the man's invitation.

Regarding Michael… she might be able to contact him tomorrow, who knows at this time he's still angry and tomorrow he will be a little less angry?

A wide smile immediately appeared on Steve's face when he heard Sarah's answer.

"Yes… Then wait for me for a while, I'll go change first. You already said yes! Don't you dare change your mind later!" said Steve who could not hide his joy and then immediately went back to the hospital by running.

Sarah shook her head when she saw the man's behavior. Was he that happy because she accepted the invitation for dinner from him?

While waiting for Steve to arrive, Sarah chose to remain standing in the front of the hospital. Her head occasionally glanced at the direction beside her, hoping she could see the figure of the man she had been waiting for all this time without her realizing it.

If that man appeared, even if that was unlikely, then she would go over to the man. She knew it was unfair to Steve, but she would prefer to talk to Michael.

However, Sarah had to swallow her disappointment when the man never showed up, even when she was about to get into Steve's car, she still hoped to see Michael, but she had to sigh and get into the car.

In the car, Steve occasionally looked at Sarah who was looking out the window. As expected, the woman seemed to have something on her mind.

"Oh yeah, can you eat spicy food?" Steve asked suddenly, trying to break the silence in the car.

Sarah took her eyes off the car window and stared at Steve when she heard the question.

"I'm not that bad, why do you ask?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"Well… spicy food can relieve stress. Then it looks like tonight we have to eat spicy food, I have the best restaurant for that!" Steve said with a smile and then drove his car to a place he seemed to have familiarity with.

Not long after, Steve's car stopped at a restaurant. The restaurant doesn't look like a fancy restaurant but the interior design inside looks quite comfortable with a mix of red and beige colors.

Sarah could also see that there were Chinese decorations in the restaurant, leading her to believe that Steve had come to take her to a Chinese restaurant.

"This is my regular restaurant, I'm friends with the chef and even though I don't want to admit it, he makes great food!" Steve whispered as they were choosing where they could sit.

Even though the restaurant was only small, almost every seat was occupied by people.

"Oh yeah, what do you want to eat? I recommend this if you want to enjoy spicy food," said Steve who had taken the menu that was on the table and then showed one of the menus to Sarah.

"Crab?" Sarah said quietly when she saw what Steve was pointing at.

"You have allergies?" asked Steve who could hear the incredulous tone in Sarah's voice. He had been watching her ever since.

Sarah was a little surprised when she realized that Steve had actually heard her when she was just talking to herself.

"No, it's not like that, I've never eaten crab," Sarah answered honestly.

All this time she had lived a poor life, and when she had money, she never thought of eating food that she had never eaten before. She never even tried that when she was still married to Michael.

"Ohh… That's good! Then I'll be the first man to eat crab with you! We have to order this!" Steve replied with a big smile.

Sarah's face involuntarily blushed slightly when she heard Steve's words. He was really well-spoken and often left her speechless.

After calling the waiter and giving their order, Steve continued to say how Sarah would like his food. The man looked excited as he explained, making Sarah impatient to try it.

"Steve?!"

Steve and Sarah simultaneously turned their heads when they heard a male voice calling for Steve. Steve's face then immediately smiled and stood up from his place when he saw the man.

"What's up, bro?" Steve said then gave him a high five and hugged the man briefly.

"I still can't believe it when I heard you came to visit my restaurant, and… it looks like this time you didn't come alone, this is the first time you brought a woman," said the man and then turned to Sarah curiously.

Steve smiled widely when he heard that, he then turned to Sarah.

"Ah yes, this is Sarah, my date tonight. This is Yuchen, my friend as well as the owner and chef of this restaurant," Steve said introducing the two people.

Sarah finally stood up and accepted Yuchen's hand.

"You heard it? You're the first woman I brought here," Steve said suddenly after the two shook their hands.

Sarah's face once again turned red when she heard that.

"Thanks, bro! I'll definitely treat you sometime," said Steve, turning to his friend who had given a very good comment.

"Of course. Let's meet sometime! Then I'll go first. Enjoy your dinner," Yuchen replied then immediately went back inside.

"You two seem close," Sarah said when the Chinese man had left.

"Yeah, we're pretty close. I've been friends with him for a long time, maybe three years? I suddenly found this restaurant and became a regular customer. I finally became close to Yuchen," Steve explained.

"So that's why you asked him to say something like that," said Sarah, who could only shake her head at Steve's behavior. Why did he have to ask his friend to say such a thing?

"Something like… What? He was telling the truth! You are the first woman I brought here," said Steve, who didn't accept Sarah accusing him of that.

Sarah snorted at that.

"Yeah yeah, I trust you," Sarah replied sarcastically.

Steve's mouth opened when he heard the woman's sarcastic tone which didn't seem to believe him at all.

"I'm telling the truth! Wow… I'm a little hurt, I took you to my favorite restaurant but you think I brought another woman here," Steve said, pretending to have a hurt expression on his face.

Sarah suddenly laughed at Steve's slightly adorable expression. Honestly, she believed what Steve and his friends said, that she was the first woman Steve brought here.

It made her happy and felt good.

The man came to take her to his favorite restaurant and also introduced her to his friend, as the first woman he introduced to his three year old friend.

Ahh… What should she do now?

Not long after, their orders finally arrived, Sarah was a little surprised at how red the sauce was poured on the crab.

However, Sarah suddenly became confused. How should she eat this? She didn't expect the crab to be still intact.

"What is it?" asked Steve who had put on the plastic gloves provided for the dish.

"I… don't know how to eat it. Ahh, I have to wear gloves. So we eat with our hands," said Sarah when she saw what Steve had done.

Steve chuckled when he saw Sarah's behavior that looked adorable. It seemed it was true that this was Sarah's first time eating crab.

He then immediately took one of the crabs, pulled his leg, then skillfully pulled out the meat that was there.

"Here," Steve said, then extended his hand towards Sarah.

Sarah, who still looked confused, looked a little surprised when she saw Steve who was trying to feed her.

"Ah, thank you," said Sarah and then tried to hold the crab, but suddenly Steve's hand pulled away.

"Ahh..." Steve said then stretched out his hand again.

Sarah couldn't believe it when she saw Steve's behavior, did the man want to do as she thought?

"My hands are starting to hurt, ahhh..." Steve said once again when he saw Sarah who was silent.

Sarah finally decided to open her mouth and allow Steve to feed her. It seemed the man wouldn't stop until she opened her mouth.

A wide smile immediately appeared on Steve's face when he saw Sarah finally open her mouth.

"It tastes good, doesn't it?" Steve asked when he saw Sarah had swallowed her food.

Sarah nodded. "Yes, the meat tastes sweet and the spices are spicy."

"You forgot to mention my love, that's what makes it even better," Steve said nonchalantly then pulled back one of his crab legs again.

Sarah fell silent when she heard that. What should she do with this man?
