How they turned and shot him murderous glances at the same time made Anthony move backwards.

"My little rice ball is innocent, don't drag him into this," she said and returned to her seat. Amos walked back to the table and sat in his previous position.

He furrowed an eyebrow when he saw Raymond and Derrick pull out a chair respectively.

"You both want to share the table with us?" He asked, frowning.

"Of course, yes or what did you think?" Derrick retorted. He lowered his head when he locked eyes with Joanna's fierce glares.

"We are acquaintances and luckily there are two empty seats on your table. Don't tell me you want to act petty by telling us to book another table…,"

"None of you look poor so what is the problem with that if you can afford it?" Amos refused to back down.

"Big Sis, they are arguing again," Anthony whispered into her ear.

"This is the outcome of asking enemies to get along. What else was I expecting?" Joanna muttered.

She extended her hand and picked the menu. She decided not to pay attention to their quarrel again as long as it doesn't worsen.

"Waiter, over here," Joanna called out to one of the waiters without paying attention to the guys.

The guy in a red shirt and a pair of black trousers moved to their table after she called his attention.

"We are ready to place our orders," She informed the guys.

Turning around she was surprised to see that Amos and Raymond hadn't sat down yet.

"Why are you both still standing over there?" She demanded. Her gaze moved from Raymond to Derrick's face.

"Don't tell me you both are planning to place your orders and also have your meal while standing...,"

"That is impossible," Raymond and Derrick echoed at the same time.

"Only an insane person will have a chair in front of him and still decide to stand and eat," Derrick added.

He was fast in reaching out his hand to take Amos' menu.

"You are not gonna use it anyways so stop glaring at me," He said nonchalantly. He and Raymond went ahead to look at the list of dishes the restaurant offers without paying Amos much attention.

Amos has never felt out of place at the dining table until today.

While they asked each other's opinion in selecting the dishes all he could do was sit and watch them talk.

He couldn't contribute to anything they said.

Joanna collected the menu and handed it over to the waiter after they were done placing their orders.

"Wow Joanna, I can't believe that you and Ray have similar tastes in dishes. His favourite food is also the same as yours. The same with the almond cake," Derrick said grinning.

Although he was talking to Joanna, funny enough his expression was on Amos.

His grin grew devilish when he saw Amos clench his fists.

[I have seen him make her jealous a few times by hanging out with other women. This is sweet revenge time. Let him have a taste of his own medicine]

He averted his gaze back to Joanna's direction afterwards.

"I can recollect how she often devoured the almond cake I always bought with me anytime I went to see her," Raymond replied beaming.

"I can vividly remember her saying that Almond cake was the most delicious thing in the world. She said this with a broad smile...,"

"Hey, why are you bringing that up now," She responded. Though she sounded upset, a radiant smile masked her face as she talked.

"Those were the silly words of a child. How come you still remember that?".

"I am sure he recalled every single word you said when you were little so why are you already getting embarrassed when he hasn't started yet," Derrick chimed in, maintaining his charming smile.

"Why on earth did there have to be two tables remaining? I wouldn't be going through this if not for those damn extra tables," Amos muttered.

[Should I decree that every restaurant in the Kingdom must have not more than three seats per table?]

Amos clasped his fist. Seeing their smiling faces irritated him more.

"What is wrong?" Joanna asked after hearing him mumble inaudible words.

"Also, were you talking to me?" She asked while looking at his face.

"He said...,"

"I am sure he must have said he felt uncomfortable dining amid so many humans," Derrick cut in before Anthony could say a sentence.

Despite Raymond's disapproving gaze Derrick still went ahead to talk. "He must be starved to get tempted by human blood," He added.

"Is that true?" Joanna asked with concern written all over her face.

She took a proper look at the restaurant for the first time.

She didn't need to look for too long to realize that the restaurant was full of humans and werewolves.

Vampires don't eat so why on earth would they come to a restaurant?

[This is all my fault]

She bites her lips knowing that Amos wouldn't have come to the restaurant if not for her and Anthony.

"Should we leave...,"

"That is not necessary," He replied calmly. He tried his best not to show how furious he was at Derrick for making such an expensive joke.

"I am fine. He was just kidding around. There is no need to take his words seriously".

Even after seeing his reassuring smile she still wasn't convinced that he was fine. "But…," She had to pause what she wanted to say when the waiter returned with their orders.

"Have your meal," He ordered when others had already picked up their cutlery while she kept on staring at him.

"If you are hungry, we can order blood…,"

"You know I don't drink any kind of blood," He said meekly.

Apart from drinking live animal blood, all the blood he drinks is supplied by the palace. He doesn't drink any other blood apart from that.

"He said he is fine so let's eat before the food gets cold," Raymond urged her on.

Joanna took a last glance at him. She turned and concentrated on the mountain of delicacies displayed on the table.
