The waiter swiftly brought out the dishes, all pre-ordered by Lyndon.
Glancing at the dishes, Ayla frowned slightly.
Despite the place’s reputation for delicate dishes, what lay on the table seemed far from refined. Chicken, duck, fish, oysters, mutton, leek- quite a variety, but lacking the expected finesse.
“Mr. Fernandez, your taste is quite unique,” she remarked, eyeing the unfamiliar soup on the table.
Lyndon explained, “I had a mishap a few months back, injured my waist. The doctor suggested a diet heavy on nutrients for recovery.”
So his waist was injured? That was a big deal! The waist was a very important region to men. If it was hurt, their ability in bed would be...

“Miss Deleon, why not try something? If these dishes don’t suit your taste, I’ll have the waiter bring something more to your liking.”
It was the most he had said since they sat down, and a hint of joy seemed to play across his expression.

Lyndon paused, giving her an appraising glance. She was perceptive.
Ordering those specific dishes and disclosing his injury seemed calculated-a strategy to encourage her to bow out willingly. Not receiving a response from Lyndon, Ayla smiled knowingly.

“It’s my business,” Lyndon replied casually. “Considering your situation, why not give me a chance? You might discover that I’m more your cup of tea,” Ayla suggested.
Lyndon dabbed his mouth with a tissue and met her gaze.
