In the restaurant, Jessica frowned as the waiter walked away after serving their dishes. “I think that waiter recognized us,” she muttered, having noticed his lingering glances at her and Brian.

“Relax. Let’s eat first,” Brian reassured her, casually picking up his fork. He wasn’t concerned. There were discreet bodyguards nearby, and the waiter’s curiosity didn’t seem malicious. He focused instead on serving Jessica.

Jessica, however, wasn’t as relaxed. “Are we going to be stared at everywhere now? Do we need disguises?” She sighed, suddenly feeling like a celebrity plagued by paparazzi.

Brian placed a perfectly sliced piece of meat onto her plate. “If it bothers you, I can have the online hype toned down.” He did enjoy showing off their happy moments online, but Jessica’s comfort mattered more.

“No need,” Jessica shook her head. Suppressing attention often backfired, sparking even more curiosity. “It’s not like people are doing anything bad, just looking,” she said with mild frustration. –

Then, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, she picked up a whole fried fish and dropped it onto Brian’s plate. “Try this. The waiter said it’s their signature dish.”

She smiled brightly at Brian, who looked slightly taken aback. She felt a bit better seeing his reaction.

Brian froze, staring at the fish. He hated picking bones. His home chef knew to only serve deboned fillets.

“Not eating? Don’t like it?” Jessica teased between bites, watching Brian hesitate over the fried fish.

“Just never had it served like this,” Brian admitted, ignoring the fish’s unblinking stare. He carried his plate

to her side with a smile. “Jessi, teach me?” he said softly, almost playfully. “Please.”

His sudden act of affection caught Jessica off guard. Jessica scooted back, snatching his fork. “Fine, since you begged. But stop this before someone films you.” She gestured at his uncharacteristic pleading. “Netizens would roast you.”

She hadn’t expected Brian to act like this–so carefree, throwing away all sense of dignity.

“Worth it.” Brian fed her the first deboned piece she prepared, memorizing her technique for future use.

“Eat it yourself.” Jessica dodged, glaring.

Undeterred, Brian tasted it himself. The texture was unfamiliar, but the flavor won him over. Over the past few weeks, Jessica had introduced him to all kinds of unusual foods, and he had gotten pretty good at adapting.

“Delicious. You always pick well.” He offered her another piece. “You deserve the fruits of your labor.”

Brian always knew how to say the right thing. For once, Jessica couldn’t think of a reason to refuse, so she

Then, Brian took over, clumsily mimicking her deboning method before dividing most of the fish onto her plate. “Need sauce?” he asked, reaching for the dipping sauce.

“No.” Jessica pushed half back to him. “Share it. I can’t eat all of this.” She was here to eat with Brian, not be

served by him.

“Thanks, Jessi.” Brian complied, finishing the task with quiet satisfaction.

Jessica exhaled, relieved.

They finished their meal gracefully. With Jessica carrying twins, her appetite had grown significantly, and

the dishes were nearly all cleared.

Brian mentally noted her favorites, already planning to search for recipes later so he could cook them for

her at home.

“Let’s go pay,” Jessica said, setting down her napkin and standing.

Brian nodded. Their table was close to the counter, so Jessica followed him over.

“Check, please,” Brian said, pulling out his phone.

The cashier glanced at him, then called out behind her, “Boss, come quick!”

Jessica and Brian exchanged puzzled looks.

Soon, the neatly dressed owner hurried over, beaming, “Hello, Mr. Atkinson, Ms. Grant. Hope you enjoyed

your meal.”

At that, Jessica realized they had been recognized again. “Yes, thank you.”

The owner smiled, “Ms. Grant, you’re as kind as they say online. And Mr. Atkinson, you’re even more

handsome in person. I’m a fan of yours. This meal is on me.”

She then handed them two discount coupons. “Take these. Come back anytime if you liked the food here.”
