Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 138: Cheng

After class, Heath and Moira Young went to the adjacent teaching building to find Carter Porter.

At this time, only Carter was left in the classroom.

When Moira saw him, she noticed he was daydreaming by himself, and couldn’t help but call out, "Carter—"

Carter turned around with a blank look in his eyes, which only eased when he saw it was Moira. Heath walked in and put him in a playful headlock, threatening, "You have to treat us to lunch today or I’m cutting you off!"

Moira thought Heath was being childish. She knew that Carter was definitely psychologically traumatized. It wasn’t just because of his accidental crime; it was probably more because he didn’t know how to face Heath...

"Let’s go eat. You treat today, Heath tomorrow, and I’ll treat the day after," Moira, though injured herself, was willing to help Carter out of his dark period.

Carter was dragged and pulled out of the classroom by Heath, who then kicked him in the butt.

"Why did you kick me!" Carter didn’t react immediately.

"I kicked you! So what! If you’re not satisfied, hit me!" Heath made a funny face and then hid behind Moira, "Protect me!"

Carter charged, "Don’t think you’re safe hiding behind Moira, she won’t protect you!"

Just like that, Moira was caught between the two of them, tossed around like cannon fodder.

However, seeing Carter gradually starting to smile, Moira felt relieved.

Heath drove them out of the school, "Quick, tell me, what are you treating us to?"

"What does Moira want to eat?" Carter asked. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Moira thought for a moment, "Hmm... I want to eat Japanese food."

Heath happily agreed, "Japanese food is great, it’s expensive!"

Carter glared at him, "I can afford a meal of Japanese food!"

Heath took them to a distinctive Japanese restaurant, saying the owner was Japanese, named Morton, who had come to China as an exchange student six years ago, and after graduating, stayed to open this restaurant.

All the ingredients here are freshly flown in from Japan, so the prices are high, and few people would come to eat.

The three of them entered the restaurant, and the owner was happy to see Heath, greeting them politely and personally seating them.

"Heath, you haven’t been here in a while." Morton sat next to Heath, indicating a close relationship.

Moira and Carter exchanged glances. Carter leaned closer to Moira and asked, "When did he get to know a Japanese person?"

Moira shrugged slightly, "I don’t know either."

"Well, here I am again, let me introduce you." Heath, in a good mood, looked at Carter, "This is my bosom buddy, Carter Porter."

"And this is my—well... good friend, Moira Young."

Morton shook hands with Carter, asking, "What does bosom buddy mean?"

Carter was stumped, not knowing how to explain it, but Moira spoke up, "It means a best brother."

Morton laughed, "So that’s what it means, thank you for telling me."

Moira didn’t expect him to be so polite, just saying it offhand, but Morton expressed his gratitude earnestly.

"We’re starving, boss, can you be a normal boss and give us the menu so we can order?" Heath joked, clutching his stomach to show he was hungry.

Morton was already accustomed to Heath’s way of speaking, and said, "Since we have new friends today, the meal is on me."

Heath was startled, immediately waving his hands, "Don’t! Carter is treating today, can’t let him off easily!"

Carter also chimed in, "Yeah... can’t let me off..."

Seeing the situation, Morton didn’t say much, handed them the menu, and added, "A batch of very plump king crabs just arrived today, would you like some?"

Moira looked up with interest, and when she met Morton’s eyes, she quickly looked back down, pretending to continue looking at the menu casually.

Heath, being straightforward, didn’t catch Moira’s hint, "No, they’re too big to finish."

But Morton understood what Moira wanted, "No problem, I’ll pick a small one."

Hearing this, Moira couldn’t help but swallow, suddenly feeling very tempted.

Heath ordered all his favorites, and Carter, worried about waste, decided to wait until Moira finished ordering to see if he wanted to add anything.

"I’d like to try this." Since the menu was in Japanese, Moira couldn’t read it, but she could recognize the pictures.

"Sea urchin sashimi, you have good taste. This is Morton’s specialty, but I ate too much last time and got stuffed, it’s just that good." Heath lay on the table, pointing to another picture, "Order this sea urchin platter instead, more variety."

Moira couldn’t help asking, "Can you read Japanese?"

Heath cheekily replied, "Would you believe me if I said I learned it from watching Morton’s countries’ movies?"

Carter immediately understood and couldn’t help but snicker.

Moira thought he was referring to those world-class films and couldn’t help exclaiming, "Heath, I didn’t know you had this kind of hobby."

Carter nearly choked hearing this, and Heath was momentarily embarrassed, scratching his head and muttering, "Not bad... not bad..."

After they finished ordering, Morton personally went to prepare the food. Heath remarked that Morton’s cooking was top-notch, coming from a family with generations in the business. Their restaurant in Japan always required reservations at least a month in advance.

Moira looked expectantly in the direction Morton left, feeling she hadn’t eaten anything decent in a long time.

After a while, the waiter served the dishes, and Moira’s eyes were glued to the sea urchin platter, filled with fresh sea urchins in various styles.

The table was almost full soon after, with Morton personally bringing out the king crab sashimi last.

Morton placed the king crab sashimi closest to Moira, "Hope you enjoy."

Moira replied, "Thank you."

Morton was about to leave when Heath pulled him back, "Don’t leave, join us for the meal!"

"It’s your gathering, I wouldn’t want to intrude." Morton replied politely.

"Aren’t you my friend? Come, sit and eat with us."

Carter added, "Yeah, Morton, we just met today, join us for a meal."

Seeing everyone inviting him, Morton didn’t refuse and joined them at the four-person table.

"Let’s dig in!" Heath, also craving, couldn’t wait. He hadn’t had the time to come here recently and missed it very much.

Moira tried a bit of the sea urchin and found it really fresh and delicious.

"Moira, let me peel a leg for you?" Heath used scissors to cut open the crab leg shell and handed it to Moira’s plate.

Moira didn’t think much at first and just ate it, but then suddenly remembered the times Julian used to prepare troublesome foods for her, like steak and crab, during meals.
