Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Is anyone sitting here?
Night gradually fell, and the sisters-in-law had been shopping all afternoon. After placing their purchases in the private car, Bella Stuart (封蓓蓓) led Emily (景鸳) into a small street behind the shopping mall.
The further they walked, the more Emily noticed that, although the street was narrow, it was crowded and bustling.
“Let’s eat here!” Bella hadn’t been to this kind of market place in a very long time, but she missed the tastes of the street food.
She remembered that the last time, she came with a classmate and loved the flavors of the street food since then.
But her grandpa, and mother didn’t allow her to eat at these street stalls, thinking that their food was not guaranteed to be safe, and appeared to be unsanitary.
However, Bella loved those things. Although the food in fine dining restaurants was exquisite, the street snacks had their unique flavors that no high-end restaurant could replicate!
Bella and Emily found a seat at one of the stalls. Due to the large crowd, there was only one spot left, so Bella asked Emily to sit alone and hold the seat, while she went to choose their food.
“You stay here and I’ll go pick some food. Don’t let anyone else take the seat!” Bella cautioned softly.
Emily nodded blankly, “Alright.”
Bella looked around and saw that there were many people lined up to pick food, so she felt a bit worried for Emily. Bella was also pregnant, and if something happened, her brother would probably be furious!
“Stay here and don’t go anywhere. If anything happens, just call me,” Bella repeated once again.
“I got it. Go choose the food,” Emily urged, perhaps due to the enticing smells in the night market, she couldn’t help feeling hungry.
After reminding Emily one more time, Bella finally left to join the crowd, picking out food for the two of them.
Sitting at a small foldable table, Emily watched Bella choosing food. Due to the large crowd, Bella disappeared from view behind several tall men within a few minutes.
Feeling bored, Emily saw people around her playing with their cell phones, so she decided to take out hers and send Baron Stuart (封爵) a text message.
But after sending a message, there was no reply. Emily suddenly remembered that it hadn’t even been five hours since Baron left for the United States, so he must still be on the airplane.
With that thought, she felt helpless and put her cell phone down again.
As she looked up in Bella’s direction, she could barely see her head bobbing up and down among the crowd.
“Excuse me, is this seat taken?” A couple suddenly walked up and pointed at the spot next to Emily.
Seeing the food in their hands, it seemed that they had just received their orders and were looking for a place to sit and eat.
Emily smiled awkwardly, “Sorry, I have another friend.”
“We only need two spots, so there’d be just enough room for the four of us. Is that ok?” The boy smiled, then looked around awkwardly, “Uh, we can’t find any other seats right now, so can we share this table? Please?”
“Please!” The girl also couldn’t help but plead.
Emily looked at the couple, then at the other tables around. Indeed, all the seats were taken.
Moreover, in such a place, it’s common to share tables. It wouldn’t be fair for her and Bella to hog an entire table to themselves. So, she agreed, “Alright.”
