Chapter 0082
Judy’s POV
“Judy?” Irene’s voice cut through my thoughts just as we were walking by their table.
I forced a smile in her direction, ignoring Ethan’s gaze
“Hello, Irene,” I said politely.
“It is you,” she said, her tone sounding a bit strained. “What are you doing here? I didn’t know you liked places like this.”
Walter’s arm draped around my shoulders and as if seeing him for the first time, Irene immediately perked up.
“Wallie, are you two on a date?” She asked him.
He grinned at his cousin.
“We are,” he answered.
I felt my cheeks burning; I didn’t think he would be so forward like this; what if Irene told Gavin that she ran into us?
Irene turned to look at me.
“You are a lucky lady,” she told me. “My cousin is very picky when it comes to women he dates. Your must be very special. Especially to go against father’s wishes.”
“I wouldn’t go that far,” I said with an awkward laugh,
Walter grinned.
“I would,” he said, making me blush even harder. “If you’ll excuse us, Rena, our table is waiting.”
“Of course,” Irene said, motioning for us to go.
I glanced at Ethan just before we turned to leave, and could see his eyes burning daggers into me. I swallowed and turned away from him, following Walter and the hostess to the table. We were at a distance from Irene and Ethan, but we could still see them clearly. I sat down in front of Walter as the waitress handed us each a menu.
“Your waitress will be right with you,” she said; her eyes never leaving Walter. When he looked up at her and gave her a polite nod, she blushed and then she winked at him. I pressed my lips together and watched as she swayed her hips back to the hostess stand. I didn’t feel jealous towards the woman, but I couldn’t help but feel disrespected.
“Get anything you want,” Walter told me, bringing my attention back to him. “Don’t worry about the
I smiled and nodded as I scanned the menu, it was no wonder he brought up the cast, everything on the menu was so expensive. The waitress appeared moments later and like the hostess, she only had eyes.

“Hello, Mr. Landry,” she said, batting her long lashes at him. “It’s such an honor to serve you.” She put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it but kept her hand lingering there. “You are much more handsome in person. I am such a huge fan of yours.”
He frowned up at her, but he didn’t remove her hand from his shoulder, which bothered me a little. It was disrespectful towards me that she was openly flirting with him, and he wasn’t doing anything about
- it.
“I appreciate that,” he said, turning his frown into a grin. “Can you bring us your best bottle of wine? And what’s the specials for this evening?”
“Our special this evening is Ora King salmon, on green tea soba noodles. Highly recommended. Our soup of the day is Mushroom Agnolotti with sweet potatoes and Kohlrabi.”
“Perfect, I’ll take them both,” he replied before glancing in my direction. “And for my.date…”
The waitress glanced in my direction and like the hostess, she immediately frowned. It was as if she was just noticing me for the first time. I swallowed and glanced at the menu once more before settling on my dish.
“I’ll have the soft–shell crab tempura ravioli,” I told her.
She wrote down my order and then ran her long fingers up the back of Walter’s neck.
“I’ll be back with your order handsome,” she said, winking as she walked away.
1 frowned at her retreating back before turning my gaze to Walter.
“Are you accustomed to women flirting with you like that?” I asked him.
He frowned at me.
“Yes,” he answered. “I don’t really notice it anymore. Was she that bad?”
I raised my brows.
“Her hands were all over you,” I said in a harsh whisper.
“I guess I just ignore it,” he said. “Did it bother you?”
“I felt a little disrespected if I were to be honest,” I said, staring down at my empty plate.
He reached his hands over and grabbed a hold of mine gently, I lifted my gaze to meet his and I could see the remorse and sincerity behind his eyes.
“I’m so sorry, Judy. I never wanted to make you feel like that. Especially tonight. When she returns, tell her to keep her hands off. I never meant to make you feel uncomfortable…”

1 could tell he truly meant it and the fact that he really didn’t notice the flirting from both the waitress and the hostess, made my attitude and expression soften.
“You’re a good–looking guy, Walter Women are bound to flirt with you, and I can’t fault you for that. I just wasn’t a fan of the way they looked at me,” I admited.
He nodded

“I can understand that, and I’ll make it clear to them that you are my date, and they need to show you respect,” he assured me.
1 blushed and shook my head.
“You don’t need to make a scene,” I told him. “Thank you for listening to my concerns.”
“I will always listen to what you have to say, and I’ll try my best to fix any of your concerns,” he told me, giving me a gentle smile and squeezing my hand. “That’s the kind of man I am.”
