Violeta did not have friends when she came to Quinston. Thus Nall was relieved that Zoren

hung out with her however he could not resist giving a few warnings

You better not take Vio to questionable places, on else.”

Dr. Nall know, I know I wouldn’t care. Also it’s not just the two of us. Hayden and the

others are also with us. You can rest assured

Te Heiden there too? Okay then. Make sure to bring her home before nine.”

Okay got it hang up now!!

After a brief chat with Nail Zoren ended the call and recurred the phone to Violets. Here you go. All settled”

Initially, wall had doubts about Zoren, but when he heard Hayden was with them, he felt at ease. The reason was simple: Hayden was known for being an upright gentleman. As an heir to the Frost family, he was famous among the upper class for his integrity. He avoided any

reckless behavior

Funnenmore Hayden rad a unique background, unlike most members of upper–class society. Zoren and the other two came from business familles But Hayden’s family was involved in poloos. His family was a prestigious political family. The elders in his family were high–ranking government offices.

Thus Hayder’s future was already planned out. Among the four of them, he was the de facto

Violeta looked up and smiled. It’s nothing Don’t worry about it

They arrived at the fondue restaurant and reserved a private room

Zoren was about to sit beside Hayden at their table, but Hayden glanced at him with disdain. Zoren knew why and immediately turned to Violeta. “Vio, you should sit here” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Violeta had already chosen her seat and was about to sit down. Hearing Zoren, she said, “TIL sit here. Didn’t you want to sit there?”

Zoren went to Violeta, held her shoulder, and guided her to the seat. Just sit here. No need

to thank me

Once everyone was seated, they began ordering food. The guys took special care of Violeta, asking about her preferences. Violeta listed the dishes she wanted and ordered one each.

“If it’s not enough, we’ll order more later.”

Soon, the food arrived, and they commenced the punishment. Violeta realized they had ordered peculiar dishes.

Jasper instructed the server to cook what Violeta ordered, leaving the peculiar food untouched.

*Jasper, you won’t make them eat raw food, right?”

Jasper frowned slightly. “Vio, have you heard of the raw food diet? It’s quite trendy these
