Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 893 Odd Siblings

Raeleigh had initially planned to pay for Zorion's meal, but she had not anticipated that Zorion would take her to such a fancy establishment. Not only that, he had even booked the whole restaurant. Internally, she was embarrassed, because she definitely could not afford to treat Zorion to dinner there.

The manager went to escort them in person. Raeleigh and Zorion went to their reserved seats. Zorion pulled out a chair, and Raeleigh sat down on it. She lowered her head and placed the napkin on her lap. Since they were already there, she might as well eat.

Raeleigh was acting extremely calm. This sparked Zorion's curiosity.

The menu was set down on their table. Raeleigh took a look at the options, and then then ordered two dishes according to her tastes.

The waiter left. Raeleigh, still sitting, observed the interior of the restuarant. It was a rotating restaurant, and they were on the first floor. Raeleigh was surprised that she could see the rotating design. Her eyes inadvertently took in every corner of the restaurant.

The place was divided into several sections by partitions. Raeleigh was seated the furthest away from its center, but it offered her a bird's eye-view of the entire establishment.

Raeleigh observed the entire interior of the restaurant. The partition in the middle was decorated trendily. Since it was in the middle of the place, the guests' attention would naturally be drawn to it. Raeleigh was no different. Her gaze did not leave the partition.

She took a fleeting glance at Zorion, then got up to head there. Making a round to bypass the table, she stood in front of the partition, looking at the picture on it. The top was an abstract painting. Raeleigh could discern that it was just an ordinary abstract background with no special meaning. But a new model of a car was drawn on the canvas. Raeleigh had never seen that model. As she was a car designer, she remembered many car designs. Her excellent memory stored every single design that was out there.

The car on the picture was not on the market. It signified that the car's design had not been put forth by the designer.

There were two people in front of the car. A man was leaning against it. A woman was sitting on the ground, either playing or holding a violin. Such an abstract painting would attract the attention of guests for sure. At the very least, they would wonder whether the girl was playing the violin or just holding it.

Raeleigh had an idea. She looked at the painting for a while and whipped out her cell phone to take two photos. She intended to set it as her screensaver to study it and figure out what it meant.

Raeleigh put the phone away and went back. The waiter had served the food she had ordered.

Raeleigh sat down and began to eat. She ate quietly. It gave the impression that she was a particularly silent person.

Zorion, too, did not speak while eating.

Both of them were immensely satisfied with the meal. Afterwards, Zorion wiped his mouth and stood up, leaving the restaurant with Raeleigh. Before he went outside the premises, a waiter delivered some desserts to Zorion. It seemed as though Zorion had booked the desserts in advance. Taking the desserts, Zorion handed them to his subordinates and got into the car with Raeleigh.

The car gradually departed. Soon, they stopped at the entrance of a shopping mall. Some fruit stalls were set up there. Zorion alighted, went over, and began selecting various kinds of fruits. In the end, he bought a few and returned to the car.

Raeleigh could not help but wonder about Zorion's upbringing. He spent money like it was nothing, but haggled over the price of fruit with the vendors nonetheless.

Although Raeleigh was sitting in the car, she could not help but notice that Zorion was speaking the native tongue of the country with the vendor while selecting the fruits.

Back in the car, Zorion put down the fruits and did not say a word all the way.

It was surprisingly quiet inside the car. It was a comforting kind of silence.

When they reached the hospital, Raeleigh got off the car. Zorion did too, with the fruit and desserts in hand. Together, they walked into the hospital.

As soon as the ward door opened, Deanna bustled out. Her sudden appearance shocked Raeleigh out of her wits.

"Did I spook you?" Deanna was like a child, with her big bright eyes boring into Raeleigh's. It took Raeleigh a while to regain her composure. Her heart beat furiously.

"A little bit."

"Next time you're spooked, you can throw yourself into Zorion's arms." Deanna pointed to Zorion. Zorion glanced at Raeleigh, without rejecting the proposition or admonishing Deanna for her nonsense. Raeleigh smiled and started saying, "Mr. Atkinson..."

"Call me by my first name." Zorion's tone was cold and commanding, leaving no room for Raeleigh to refuse.

Raeleigh subconsciously turned her gaze to Zorion. Deanna immediately piped up, "Raeleigh, why are you calling him Mr. Atkinson? It's like you're mocking him if you address him that way in this society. Zorion and I don't like others calling us 'Miss' or 'Mister', but we can't help it due to the many rules our family has. But you're our friend. You can't just address us like that and hurt our feelings." Helpless, Raeleigh took in Deanna's pitiful expression. Her big eyes were brimming with innocence. Raeleigh had not meant it that way, but she realized it might have sounded like that when Deanna voiced he perspective.

"Deanna, I didn't mean that. I'm just not ready to consider Zorion my friend. We..."

"Are we strangers?" Zorion suddenly asked. It perplexed Raeleigh. That had nothing to do with the matter at hand. But with the way Zorion put it, he linked the two issues.

"I'm not hiding any secret meaning behind my words. I just addressed you according to my subconscious. If you take offense to that, I'm sorry." Raeleigh was at a loss as to what to say, so she apologized.

"Is that a sincere apology?" Zorion did not let up. His tone betRhysed his dissatisfaction.

Deanna immediately tugged on Zorion and asked, "Zorion, what's wrong with you?"

Zorion looked at Deanna. "I'm fine. She just pissed me off."

When he spoke to Deanna, Zorion was very gentle. He gave her a warm smile and was extraordinarily doting. On the contrary, when speaking to Raeleigh, his eyes were piercing.

Raeleigh did not want matters to devolve into an argument. She continued to murmur, "I sincerely apologize to you."

"That's not what you're thinking."

"Zorion, you're pushing it. Raeleigh has already apologized to you. Why are you acting this way, making everyone unhappy?" Deanna was aware that Zorion was targeting Raeleigh. Raeleigh was not a fool, she knew that too.

However, as an ordinary civilian, she was no match for Zorion.

"I've already apologized. If you insist that I'm not sincere, I can't do anything about it. I'm going to take a quick bathroom break," Raeleigh responded as she walked toward the washroom. Zorion's gaze did not leave Raeleigh as she walked inside the washroom. It was only when she went inside that he put his arm around Deanna's shoulder, his focus returning to the ward. He handed the desserts to Deanna and said, "These are for you."

"Zorion, did you go to our family's restaurant?" Deanna would always request her favorite dessert whenever they did. After she took it, immediately called Scarlette over.

Raeleigh exited the restroom and looked at the siblings. She finally understood why Zorion had booked the whole restaurant.

"Zorion, did you make sure to get a good price when buying these fruits?" When Deanna asked that, Raeleigh stood there in a daze. These siblings were an odd pair! They were the oddest of the odd.
