A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 201

“You should go first. I’ll go and get the car parked, and you can order anything you want.” Nathaniel

pulled over in front of the restaurant. “Their food is rather spicy, so if you can’t handle the spice, you

could just

tell the owner.”

Hesper didn’t really like spicy food, so she nodded and walked into the inconspicuous, tiny restaurant.

Hesper truly had no idea how Nathaniel got to know about this restaurant. She looked around the area

while they were on the way here, and there was not even a single means of transportation within a few.

miles from the place, let alone any passerby.

The small shop was hidden behind a grove. It already looked very inconspicuous during autumn, so the

whole restaurant might be completely concealed behind the trees when all the leaves grew back

during

summer.

A small string of wind chimes made out of shells was hung on the door frame of the entrance. When

Nathaniel walked into the premises, it gave off a crisp chime.

“Hello?”

Once inside, no one could be seen. Hesper poked her head in, took a look at the interior of the

restaurant, and found that there was no one there. The small shop lot looked clean and beautiful, and

the log decorations seemed to be in line with the design of a cabin in the forest. The beams of the

house were covered with unknown greeneries, looking very engaging.

…But there was nobody there!

“Are we having guests?”

A person suddenly appeared behind her. Hesper was taken aback.

She then saw a teen boy in an apron come out of nowhere, looking at her while rubbing his eyes.

“You’re Nathaniel’s friend, aren’t you? You can sit by the window. And if there’s anything that you want

to eat, you can scan the QR code for the menu.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The boy did not give Hesper much of a chance to speak, answering everything that Hesper wanted to

ask

in one go.

‘He’s never met me before, so how does he know that I’m Nathaniel’s friend?’

Hesper was a little puzzled, but she walked to the seat by the window without any hesitation. She then

found that there was a book on the table with a line of unfamiliar words written on the cover. After

reading it for a while, Hesper felt like it was written in one of the western languages; however, just when

she was about to take a picture to look up the meaning of some of the words, the teenager appeared

behind her again.

“This is Nathaniel’s book. It’s been laying around here since he came here last time. I forgot to put it

away.”

The teenager closed the book and tapped on the QR code on the corner of the table. “This is the menu.

Do you eat spicy food?”

Hesper shook her head. The boy nodded, yawned, and left.

‘He’s quite a weirdo, huh…? This teenager looks extremely young, but everything he does makes him

look frustrated, and he’s very elusive too…”

Hesper scanned the QR code, skimmed through the menu, and ordered two traditional Genecity

dishes,

thinking that there would be no going wrong with them, then waited for Nathaniel to park the car and

come over.

When Nathaniel walked into the restaurant, Hesper was staring at the plants in the room with her head

lifted, revealing her fair neckline.

“You’re here.” Hesper noticed Nathaniel’s arrival and waved to him. “I only ordered two dishes. You

should take a look at the menu and see what you want to eat. It just so happens that there isn’t

anything in particular that I want to eat.”

Nathaniel nodded and sat in front of Hesper. “Mr. Seth Tucker knows what I want to eat. Isn’t the

environment here great?”

The environment was really nice, and though it was obviously a restaurant, there was no one else in

the building except them, not to mention how silent and still the atmosphere was.

“His name is Seth Tucker… Is he a relative of yours?”

Hesper vaguely remembered that Nathaniel did not have any siblings.
