King's Back

Chapter 8 Who Was Really Showing Off?

"Of course he had never eaten this kind of dishes. The best he could get in his life was ordinary meals. Look at Dolcie, getting so skinny after marrying him."

In fact, Logan didn't like to eat western food either, but he wanted to show off, which was why he chose here.

Normal person wouldn't know how to order food in here.

By then, he could take over the menu calmly, order a few dishes elegantly and talked a bit about the western civilization that he learned from the Internet, which made others look highly on him.

What's more, he even learned some simple French in order to show off in front of Dolcie, who he really wanted to pursue. And he did spend some time in learning. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Logan talked to the French waitress in French.

Jackson thought that Logan knew how to speak French. But to his surprise, Logan changed back to speak Mandarin while ordering food.

Dolcie smiled and said, "Logan, I don't know that you can speak French."

"It's nothing, just some basics." Logan was proud in his heart. As he expected, he could win the affection of the lady by eating in this high-end restaurant.

"Logan, you're too humble. You must be that kind of person that often visits upper-class places. You must have passed French IELTS ." Martha said with a big smile.

Jackson almost laughed, he had never heard of such language test. Martha was really trying her best to brag about Logan.

"I honestly think that Mr. Harper's French is just so-so, not fluent at all. His level is comparable to a three-year-old kid."

After hearing Jackson's words, everyone was shocked for a second. Logan showed his contempt and said: "It sounds like that Mr. Owen is pretty good at French."

Jackson nodded, "Yeah, much better than you."

Martha was unhappy with what he said. She scolded, "Enough, Jackson! You know French? You're just a househusband, probably learning from the TV at most. Don't you disgrace us!"

Dolcie was uncomfortable in her heart. She brought Jackson with her was to show that she was already married and tried to refuse Logan's intention. But now all her family members were on the side of Logan, isolating Jackson completely.

"Mom, don't say that."

"Okay, let's order."

Logan didn't want to be regarded as narrow-minded. Therefore, he decided to order a few dishes and two bottles of Romani Conti red wine as well.

After that, Logan ordered for Martha and Serena.

"Dolcie, what would you like to eat?"

"Whatever." Dolcie answered coldly.

"Mr. Owen, I don't know your taste, you'd better order for yourself."

As Logan talked, he handed over the menu to Jackson. He was already gloating in his heart. He thought that Jackson must have never eaten any standard French meals and wouldn't know how to

order at all.

Jackson glanced at the French waitress and spoke in perfectly fluent French: "Miss, I want a Parisian cabbage, fried scallops with foie gras, and marjoram salmon rolls."

The French waitress's eyes twinkled and said incredulously: "Sir, you...you speak French? Your French is very fluent, with a pure Parisian accent."

After all, there weren't many people in here that could speak French, especially as fluent as Jackson.

Dolcie was also surprised, Jackson could speak French? And so fluent?

Even Martha and Serena were stunned.

Jackson smiled and kept speaking in French: "Miss, judging from your accent, you should be born in Calvados."

Jackson's tone was calm and casual, as if he was making a normal conversation in Mandarin. He started a conversation with the French waitress.

Logan was completely lost, looking at Jackson conversing with the French waitress, but he had no idea what they were saying at all.

What the heck, this garbage knew how to speak French?

He thought that Jackson was just talking some nonsense, but as he caught sight of the excitement on the face of that waitress, he realized that Jackson was not messing around. He did know French, and was really good at it.

Dolcie was very surprised. She didn't expect her househusband, who was messy all the time, actually possessed some practical skills.

"Oh my God! You're so amazing! You could notice that?! You're right, I am from Calvados."

The French waitress was so excited that her little face blushed, she asked Jackson kindly: "Sir, Have you ever been to my hometown?"

"Once, Calvados was known as the village on the damp plain, and it was a very beautiful place."

Jackson's fluent French and his polite gentleman-like attitude charmed the waitress soon.

In fact, the languages Jackson could speak were more than just French. After all, he went abroad at the age of ten and had travelled different places in the world to found the Dragon Palace.

Language was merely a way for him to communicate.

The waitress came close to Jackson and whispered in his ear: "Sir, you are the most gentleman-like Chinese I have ever met, can I have your phone number?"

The French ladies were romantic, the reason why she wanted Jackson's phone number was apparent.

Jackson rejected with a smile, and spoke in Mandarin, "I'm sorry, but I am already married."

The French girl looked at Dolcie enviously, who sat next to Jackson.

At this moment, Dolcie changed her opinion on Jackson. This man was indeed good at one thing no matter what others said about him.

But to be honest, she had never attempted to learn more about this man ever since they knew each other.

Dolcie couldn't help thinking that whether he was hiding something from her. She began to doubt more as she thought of her grandfather forcing her to marry this man.

Logan remained calm and silent, pretending to understand the conversation between Jackson and the waitress. He even nodded constantly to show that he could understand. But he felt puzzled inside. Didn't they say that Dolcie's husband was a useless garbage, why was he so different from the rumor.

At this moment, Martha mumbled disdainfully, "What, why is it so surprising. If I stay at home all the time and do nothing, I can also learn few languages. Logan, you wouldn't be annoyed by such trivial thing, right?"

"Logan, don't you have something to tell Dolcie? We are all witnesses, just say it now." Serena said.

Logan also considered this to be a great opportunity, so he smiled and said:

"Dolcie, although I have married once, I would cherish a relationship more because of the divorce. An unhappy marriage will not last long. I think I have the right to pursue you."

This was…an explicit love confession.
