BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132 Dinner Invitation
The sun is still burning with its glorious heat just like any other day, giving life and also burning life in many parts of the world.
Fernandez Residences.
Nathan sat in the living room with an ice cream container in his hands.
"Ice cream is really like this on days like this."
Scooping out the ice cream, Nathan took a bite and felt the coldness spread in his mouth.
"Hmm! Rocky road always hits the spot!" He said as he closed his eyes, enjoying the ice cream.
*Ring~*
While he was immersed in eating, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Picking it up, without looking at who it is, he answered, "Hello?"
An old voice that Nathan is familiar with sounded from the phone.
"Nathan, how are you today?"
"Oh, Old Sebas! I\'m good, thank you." He replied, "Is there something that you need me for, Old Sebas?"
Chuckling, Old Sebas said, "Oh, it\'s just that me and my daughter want to extend our gratitude towards you. So we\'re thinking if you\'d be available for dinner later?"
Nathan nodded in understanding, "Oh, so that\'s it."
He thought about it for a second before coming to a decision.
"Hmm, since I don\'t really have anything to do tonight, I\'m up for dinner." He said,
On the other end of the call, Old Sebas\' delighted voice sounded.
"Really? Great, then let\'s meet up at Classic Resto later at 7 PM, is that good?"
"It\'s good, Old Seb, I will be there on time."
A few minutes later, the call finally ended and Nathan hung up.
Throwing the phone to the side, Nathan muttered, "A dinner, huh."
After the call, he continued eating his ice cream without interruptions.
Time passed while Nathan did all sorts of things and soon it was already 6:30 PM.
Nathan washed his body and wore some decent casual clothes.
When he was finally ready, Nathan first told the siblings, Bruce and Leticia, that he will be leaving and so they should behave.
Before Nathan left, with a firm look on his face, Bruce seriously told him, "Don\'t worry Mr. Nathan, while you\'re gone, I will surely guard the house!"
Hearing that, Nathan was surprised.
He slowly nodded his head, smiling, "Then I hold onto that, okay?"
Bruce nodded, full of serious spirit.
Seeing him like this, for some reason, makes Nathan happy.
He looked at them amiably and patted the siblings head, "You two should also stop calling me Mr. Nathan, just call me brother."
The two seemed stunned by these words, but when they recovered, a big smile bloomed on their faces!
"Oum, Brother Nathan!"
After that, Nathan left the villa. This time, he did not ride a car or anything as he felt tired from driving.
He rode a jeepney and browsed on his phone while waiting for him to arrive at his destination.
At some point, an unassuming young man rode the jeep.
Nathan did not care about him just like everyone else.
The jeep continued to drive peacefully.
When Nathan arrived downtown, he got down from the jeep.
He looked around for the place that Old Sebas told him earlier and saw it not far from where he got down.
"Classic Resto… Classic Resto… ah, there it is!"
He walked towards it and stopped outside to message Old Sebas first.
[Nathan: Old Sebas, I\'m already here outside of the Classic Resto you told me about.]
[Old Sebas: Oh, then come inside, me and my daughter have already entered. Just tell my name to the receptionist and they will bring you here.]
[Nathan: Okay.]
Since Old Sebas is already inside, Nathan did not dally and also entered the restaurant.
"Good evening, sir. Do you have a reservation?" The receptionist greeted,
Calmly, Nathan said, "I\'m here with Old Sebas."
A surprised look flashed on the receptionist\'s face for a second but she hid it well.
"Mr. Sebas has informed us about your arrival, I will guide you to their table now." She said,
Nathan nodded.
With the guidance of the receptionist, he found Old Sebas\' table.
He was smiling while looking at him and beside him is his daughter, Bella, who is also looking at him with a smile.
"Nathan, you\'re here. Sit, sit."
Old Sebas immediately greeted Nathan.
Nathan sat down, and said, "Thank you for inviting me tonight, Old Sebas."
Old Sebas just waved his hand dismissively, "Aish, forget it. I should be the one thanking you for letting us invite you here."
Seeing the stubborn look on his face, Nathan did not say anything else and turned to Bella sitting on the side.
"How are you now, Miss Bella?" He asked,
Seemingly happy to be noticed by him, Bella smiled, saying, "I am feeling much better now, Mr. Nathan. Last time I was not able to express my gratitude after you saved me as I still need to recover."
Nathan just shook his head gently, "No need, Old Sebas already gave me something that is more than enough to show his gratitude."
Bella fell silent for a while, then her expression turned serious, she looked at Nathan and said,
"No, that time, you gave me something like a miraculous fruit. I know that thing is not something that can be bought with money. If not because of that fruit, I would probably not have the strength to move for quite some time."
Nathan thought for a while and realized that she was talking about the Null Fruit that he gave her to let her recover some of her strength.
With a nonchalant look, he said, "Oh, that? It\'s nothing to be honest. I would not have used it like that if it was really that precious to me."
Bella\'s face did not change after hearing that, it seems like she already thought of it.
She still look at Nathan with a serious face and suddenly asked,
"Mr. Nathan, if you won\'t mind me asking, is it possible for you to continuously take out fruits like the one that you gave me last time?"
