Chapter 252: Let Connor Eat Somewhere Else
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Originally, there were only eight seats in this private room, but now there were ten people including Freya and Connor.
Laura had asked the waiter to add an extra chair for Freya, but no one had added a seat for Connor.
On top of that, the space in the private room was not very big to begin with, so even if they wanted to add more chairs, they could not.
The private rooms in Lume had a minimum cost. When Shane booked the private room, he had specially chosen a smaller private room so that the minimum cost would be lower.
Normally, this private room could only accommodate eight people. However, when Laura saw that her daughter did not have a seat, she asked the waiter to add an extra seat.
However, if they wanted to add another seat, the entire private room would seem a little crowded, so they’d selectively ignored Connor’s existence.
After Freya sat down, she instinctively turned to look at Connor. When she realized that Connor had no seat, she frowned and said, “Why didn’t you guys give Connor a chair?”
“Freya, this private room is only this big. Just now, we also wanted to add a seat for Connor, but the waiter said that we can only add one seat at most. If we add more, we won’t be able to fit him…” Qahira replied indifferently.
“That’s right. The waiter just said that this private room can only accommodate a maximum of nine people!” Ailee said.
When Freya heard Qahira and Ailee’s words, her expression instantly changed. She could clearly feel that they were deliberately making things difficult for Connor.
“Freya, how about this? Get Connor to go out and eat whatever he wants. We’ll pay for his meal!” Sandra suddenly said.
When Freya heard Sandra’s words, she was stunned on the spot, and her expression turned into one of fury.
Were they implying that Connor came here today just to freeload? Everyone was eating in the private room, and yet they wanted Connor to be the only one who went out to eat. Wasn’t this insulting?
Even Sean and Laura had ugly expressions on their faces when they heard Sandra’s words. No matter how much the two of them disliked Connor, he was still their son-in-law. Sandra humiliating Connor now was equivalent to humiliating the two of them.
However, Shane was the one who treated them to this meal today, so the two of them couldn’t say much. They could only sit in their seats and wait for Connor to leave on his own. This way, they could suffer less humiliation.
“Aunt, you said you want Connor to eat out?” Freya asked in disbelief.
“That’s right. If he doesn’t want to go out to eat, he can stand here and eat. Let’s see what he chooses!”
Sandra clearly wasn’t even thinking about Connor this time and replied very flippantly.
“Shane treating someone like Connor to a meal is already a privilege. Moreover, isn’t it a matter of where we eat? Freya, you’d better get Connor out quickly, lest he gets in the way here!” Ailee called out to Freya with a smile.
Connor stood there expressionlessly. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: the moment he could expose his identity in front of Freya, he would definitely teach these people a lesson!
If they were just humiliating Connor, he would not be so angry; after all, this world was a society that valued money.
However, they were not only humiliating Connor, but also Freya.
Connor would never allow anyone to humiliate her, so he had to remember what had happened today. He would return the favor a hundredfold in the future!
“Freya, she’s right. I can eat anywhere. I’d better go outside!”
Connor didn’t want to make things difficult for Freya, and he also didn’t want to eat with these people, so he called out to Freya calmly and turned to leave the private room.
“You… You guys are really too much. Since you don’t like Connor so much, I won’t eat here. I’ll go out with Connor to eat!” Freya looked at the crowd and shouted loudly. Then, she left with Connor without looking back.
After hearing Freya’s words, Connor was very touched. No matter how everyone else treated him, at least Freya treated him very well.
As long as Freya didn’t give up on him, Connor didn’t care how others humiliated him!
When Sandra saw that Freya was really about to leave, she hurriedly stopped her. “Freya, what are you doing? So what if Connor leaves? Besides, whatever he eats will be paid for by Shane. There is still a seat in this private room. You can stay!”
“The whole family is eating here. Why should Connor go out alone? Why don’t you ask your son-in-law to get out? Connor is my fiance. If you don’t respect my fiance now, that means you don’t respect me!”
Freya didn’t intend to give Sandra any face at this time, so she shouted unreservedly.
When Sandra heard this, her expression suddenly became a little awkward. Only now did she realize that she’d gone a little overboard in what she’d said. She hurriedly called out, “Freya, what are you saying? How can we not respect you and Connor? I was just joking with you just now. How can I really ask Connor to go out to eat?”

Freya looked at Sandra coldly without saying anything.
“Shane, hurry up and ask the waiter to change us to a bigger private room!” Sandra quickly said to him.
“Alright… Fine!”
Shane nodded helplessly.
“Freya, hurry up and call Connor back. Let’s change to a bigger room so that everyone can sit down!” Sandra said to Freya after seeing Shane agree.
Freya looked at Sandra and hesitated for two seconds. She knew that everyone here was from the Phillips family. If they really fell out, it would not be good for anyone, so she turned around and walked out of the private room.
A few minutes later, Connor, who was about to leave the restaurant, was chased back by Freya. After a series of explanations, he could only helplessly follow her back to the private room.
However, when they returned to the private room, they realized that Shane was arguing with the waiter.
“I just asked you to change my private room, so why can’t I? The ten of us simply can’t sit!”
Shane had booked a private room here today to satisfy Qahira and Sandra. After all, it was only when Sandra was satisfied would the matter between him and Qahira come to fruition. Therefore, if Sandra wanted to change rooms, Shane naturally had to fight for it.
“Sir, I’m really sorry. All the private rooms in our restaurant were reserved in advance. There are no extra private rooms at the moment!” The waiter replied helplessly.
“I’ll give you more money, okay? Just get me a bigger one!”
Shane shouted excitedly.
“This is not a matter of money, sir. The private rooms have already been fully booked. We have no way to change rooms for you. If you think this private room is too small, then please go to another restaurant!” the waiter said in a stiff and blunt tone.
When everyone heard the waiter’s words, their expressions immediately turned ugly. “What kind of attitude is this? We’re giving you service by coming here to eat. Why are you acting so arrogant with us now? Where is your manager? I’m going to complain about you right now!”
Sandra was a little angry at the waiter and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Just as the waiter was about to explain, a dignified voice suddenly rang out.
“Will, what’s going on?”
A middle-aged man suddenly walked into the private room.
When Connor saw this middle-aged man, he was rendered speechless.. This was because the person who came in was none other than the general manager of this restaurant, Titus!
