Chapter 1212:
Still, that strange feeling of being watched wouldn’t let go. The corners of her mouth tightened as she wondered if she was being paranoid.
This place had strict security and a members-only system, making it nearly impossible for paparazzi to get in. And with her stomach rumbling, Margo decided to push the worry aside. She wasn’t afraid of being photographed. If anything happened, she could always clarify it later. Besides, there was nothing to misunderstand between her and Dunn—they were simply friends.
As she stepped into the restaurant, Margo was immediately drawn to the decor. Its popularity was well deserved. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the kind of place that made her relax without realizing it.
In the private room Dunn had reserved, an aquarium filled one wall, vibrant fish swimming freely in a dazzling display of color. From where she sat, the city’s night skyline spread out before her, and the view eased the tension she’d been carrying.
A playful smile appeared as she teased the fish through the glass.
“Take a look at the menu and see what you feel like eating,” Dunn said, placing it in front of her, his tone light and amused.
“An offer like yours is impossible to refuse,” Margo replied, her grin widening. She ordered several internet-recommended dishes. Afterward, she leaned back and admired the night view, letting out an audible sigh. “This is breathtaking p>
“I’m glad you like it,” Dunn murmured.
Their conversation flowed easily, without a hint of awkwardness. It was a calm interlude, and they both seemed to enjoy it.
Margo liked being with Dunn. His gentle manner—and the way he kept a respectful distance—made her feel warm and comfortable. It was as if they were longtime friends, at ease in silence as much as in conversation.
Soon, the table was filled with exquisite dishes. Despite her hunger, Margo hesitated, almost unwilling to ruin the beautiful presentation.
“Do these dishes not suit your taste?” Dunn asked, a hint of concern in his voice. He had been careful to order according to Margo’s preferences, yet she still seemed reluctant to eat.

Margo shook her head, trying to hide her embarrassment behind a smile. “No, it’s just p>
Dunn looked at her, waiting.
“In a place like this, you’re supposed to eat with elegance,” Margo admitted, a sheepish grin tugging at her lips.
Dunn burst into warm, genuine laughter, the sound echoing pleasantly in her ears.
“What’s so funny?” Margo asked, pretending to be offended.
Resting his cheek against his hand, Dunn’s gaze softened as he looked at her. “You’re incredibly adorable p>
Caught off guard, Margo’s fingers slipped slightly on her fork as she met his eyes.
“Why are you staring? Try this—it’s really good,” Dunn said, serving her a portion of the dish.
Snapping back to herself, Margo tasted it. Her face immediately brightened, and her earlier thoughts vanished.
Their banter carried on, and time slipped past unnoticed. Once Margo was full, she leaned back in her chair, eyes half-closed in satisfaction. “I can’t eat another bite. The food here is incredible,” she sighed.
