---- Chapter 230 That evening, Sebastian invited everyone to a famous private restaurant. The restaurant was located in a ssical Baroque-style estate. Cobblestone paths stretched beneath their feet. Ornate structures with elegant arches and detailed facades were strategically ced throughout the grounds. In the centery an emerald pond where pink and white water lilies floated on the surface. asionally, koi fish glided peacefully through the water, creating delicate ripples.
Asmall, exquisite stone bridge arched over the pond. When they arrived, it was already dusk. The setting sun cast a golden glow across the entire estate, bathing the ssic French architecture in a soft radiance. "Sebastian certainly knows how to pick a ce. It''s beautiful here," Charlotte remarked with a smile. ---- Sebastian replied, "A friend of mine owns it. It''s not open to the general public." Victoria gave Sebastian a cold nce.
"Another female friend of yours?" Sebastian quickly exined, "What female friend? His name is Timothée Pierson. He''s a man." "He''s back in the country?" James asked. Sebastian answered, "Yes, he just returned and opened this private restaurant. French cuisine, quite excellent." The group crossed the stone bridge and walked through the garden, chatting as they went.
The estate was expansive, designed in the style of a mid-18th century Baroque garden, beautifully elegant with enchanting scenery. "You''ve eaten here before? With whom?" Victoria shot hima sharp look, the jealousy in her voice unmistakable. Sebastian couldn''t help but smile. He loved seeing her jealous-it made her look so adorably petnt that it made his heart flutter. ---- "I''ve been once, just with Timothée and me. No women present.
Even the waiters were all men." This answer satisfied Victoria. "James, you know Timothée too?" Victoria turned to James. "Howe I''ve never heard of him?" "Tknow him, but not very well," James replied. "He was Sebastian''s college ssmate, from our year. He went abroad for further studies after graduation." The group arrived at a pavilion where a meal was already prepared. "Tcalled ahead and pre-ordered. These are their signature dishes," Sebastian exined.
"I figured you''d all be tired and hungry after a day of fun, so this way we could eat right away without waiting." "That''s thoughtful of you," Victoria said, pulling out a chair to sit down. Charlotte smiled, "Sebastian is so considerate."
