Chapter 3020
Since the shop was not too crowded now, they handed the waiter the menu after placing their order.Before they knew it, they brought out the pasta and all the other foods.
Vivian noticed Aaron kept glancing outside. She was curious, and she could not help but ask, 'What areyou looking at?'
Aaron shifted his gaze back and awkwardly chuckled. “Oh, nothing. I'm just curious about thesurroundings here. It's a university town. No wonder it's nice and safe. It's not as chaotic as overseas."
He casually made it up, not wanting to admit that he was keeping an eye out for Gordan, thattroublemaker.
"Yes, it's pretty safe. Plus, all the universities here have security measures, so once it hits curfew, itgets real quiet. Since it's surrounded by universities, there are many people around as long as it'sbefore curfew, and they're all students.
"There aren't any of those complicated people from the outside world. That's why it's safe here,"explained Vivian. She thought he was checking up on her life here on Ray's orders.
Therefore, she went into detail, trying to assure Ray not to worry about her.
"Ms. Vivian, do you enjoy your life here?" asked Aaron. The steam from the hot food veiled Vivian'sface, but he could still see the smile on her face.
"I do. I'm really grateful I chose to study here in A City. You wouldn't believe how interesting thecourses are at the universities here, and my classmates are kind. I might be on the older side for aforeign student, but they don't treat me any different.
"In fact, they enjoy chatting with me. Most of my classmates are foreigners since I started in thelanguage program, but I also joined some clubs, so I have many friends in A City too." Vivian shared
her joy about her life abroad.
"Sounds great." Aaron stared at Vivian's smile and joined in the laughter. As long as the young ladywas happy, that was all that mattered.
"Come on, let's dig in. The food won't taste good if they get cold," replied Vivian as she served himsome veggies.
Food like this was common in A City but not so much in Russia.
Aaron was pleasantly surprised by her gesture.
The two of them were having a blast inside the restaurant, but Gordan, who was across the street in acoffee shop, had a grim expression on his face.
Even though there was a road between them, the road was not that wide. Anyone with good eyesightcould see them in the Italian restaurant.
As Gordan watched the cheerful duo in the restaurant, he snorted. Treating his coffee like booze, hedowned it.
He did not plan on tailing Vivian and Aaron.
He was on his way back when he saw the two on a shared bike, chatting and heading toward theapartment.novelbin
He could never forget Aaron since their brawl. When they fought, he had not held back. When he sawAaron, the rage within him skyrocketed, reaching its peak.
Unconsciously, he followed them.
As he watched them laugh and Vivian serve Aaron vegetables, he felt a sense of betrayal.
She was actually serving vegetables to the man who beat him up!
Gordan clenched his fists, making a cracking sound. It startled the women who were sitting at the nexttable, discussing his looks.
He had to take off his mask to drink coffee, which exposed half of his face.
Even with just half his face, he managed to capture the attention of a few women.
Now, he was giving off this vibe like he was ready to pick a fight at any moment. The women at the nexttable thought perhaps they got too loud and offended him. Thus, to avoid any conflict, they quicklychugged their coffee and bounced.
Even though they would like to check out a handsome guy, the man did not like being the center ofattention—especially with a short fuse like his.
They knew better than to mess with him!
Meanwhile, Gordan was not concerned with all that. His mind was solely focused on giving Aaron apiece of his mind.
Sure enough, this ordinary guy showed some interest in Vivian. Gordan used to wonder if he wasacting on Ray's orders, and that was why he always went all out in their fights.
It turned out that he was interested in Vivian.
Gordan knew he was not mistaken. After dancing around the garden of romance for quite some time,he was experienced enough to know exactly how a man acted when he was interested in a woman.
Aaron's current behavior proved his interest in Vivian!
Gordan narrowed his eyes, focusing on Vivian's face.
That shy look of hers...
The danger in his gaze intensified, causing the woman who wanted to approach him and ask for hiscontact number to freeze in her tracks.
Then, she glanced at him again to confirm, and she hurriedly walked away.
Gordan had no idea he unintentionally scared off so many people. Meanwhile, in the Italian restaurant,the two finally got into their meal.
Aaron thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. He gave his stomach a little pat. It was all lean muscle becauseof his long-term training. He would not usually get much of a belly after meals. One could only feel hisrock-hard abs.
However, he could actually feel his little belly now.
Surprisingly, he ate so much and got himself a little belly!
Aaron was amazed, and he could not help but exclaim, "This food is incredible."
"Yes, it is, but you gotta pick the right spot. Some places have lousy pasta, so it's not as tasty. So, howabout it? My pick for our meal was good, right?" asked Vivian as she presented her payment code forthe waiter to scan for the bill.
"Yes, it's really good." When Aaron went to settle the bill, he forgot the phrase he learned beforecoming to A City.
When Vivian saw him at a loss for words, she chuckled and explained, "I already paid. Let's go. Whereare you staying? Let me get you a cab."
"I'm staying around here, and you don't have to get a cab for me. I'll send you back first." Aarondeclined her offer.
"It'll be hard for you to communicate with the driver, no?" Vivian frowned.
"No, I have a translation app. The drivers here are all used to it," replied Aaron. Before he came to ACity, he downloaded a translation app on his phone since he could not speak the local language. Withthe app, he could communicate just fine.
"Alright, but this place is really safe. You don't have to escort me back home. Go back early and adjustto the time difference," suggested Vivian.
She guessed that Aaron's visit to A City was not just about delivering documents to Luke. There mightbe other things he needed to take care of.
She was not one to pry into Ray's business. She only advised Aaron to go back and rest withoutsending her.
"Ms. Vivian, even though it's safe around here, you're still a woman. I insist on sending you back home.Let's go. If the boss finds out I didn't personally see you off, he'll surely give me an earful," repliedAaron. He stood up and walked over to her, pulling out the chair for her.
Vivian rose to her feet. She had no choice but to go along with his suggestion.
Gordan, who was seated at the coffee shop, saw Aaron's actions and let out a cold snort.
As he watched them leave, he masked up, left the money on the counter, and said,"Keep the change."
Then, he turned around and walked away.
