The entire restaurant fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared at Mag and Gloria with peculiar expressions on their faces. Who would have thought that they would be greeted by such a mind-blowing conversation this early in the morning?WTF?! What the h.e.l.l is going on? Mag looked at the young woman standing before him, also dumbstruck. This was the first time that she had ever spoken to him, and she was certainly making it count. He gave an awkward cough, and put on a serious expression before replying, "I"m not that type of person, so I"ll have to refuse."
"Father, what"s a first time? Why are you refusing it? Maybe this big sister really wants to give it to you?" Amy wore a curious expression as she held Ugly Duckling in her arms. She then turned to scrutinize Gloria"s white veil as if she were trying to see the woman behind the veil.
"Well…" Mag opened his mouth, but he really didn"t know how to explain the concept to Amy.
Many customers wore knowing smiles upon seeing his awkward situation. They didn"t say anything, either, as they didn"t want to corrupt Little Amy, but all of them were quite curious about how the situation would progress from here.
After hearing Mag"s reply, Gloria also realized that she had misspoken, and a blush appeared on her face. She immediately waved her hands, and corrected herself. "I"m saying… I want you to be the first person to see me without my veil as you are the one who gave me a second chance at life, and instilled within me the courage to take off my veil."
"Oh, I see… Of course you can." An awkward smile appeared on his face. For some reason, there was a hint of disappointment in his heart, but he couldn"t be blamed for having a dirty mind—anyone would think the same thing in his situation.
However, the young woman"s words still filled him with a sense of gratification. It appeared that she had indeed had some type of flaw on her face, which led to her constantly wearing her veil. After eating his tofu pudding, the freckles vanished, and she regained the courage to take off her veil. As such, he was feeling quite pleased that he had done a good deed, and was quite curious what she looked like under the veil at the same time.
All of the customers were also enlightened upon hearing that. So it wasn"t what they were thinking. In any case, it was a good thing that they would be able to witness the "rebirth" of this young woman after eating Mag"s tofu pudding.
Gloria looked at Mag, and took a deep breath. She mustered up her courage before taking off her veil, revealing a head of golden hair that s.h.i.+mmered with a faint sheen under the sun.
Her smooth long hair trailed all the way down to her calves like a golden waterfall, and her intricate features were like a work of art.
Her purple eyes were clean and pure, and she was biting down on her lower lip with a nervous expression. Her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, but she looked directly at Mag, not allowing herself to turn away.
Her snowy white skin appeared even fairer when complemented by her pink dress, and even though her limbs were rather thin and delicate, her chest was sizeable in comparison. The golden sash around her waist accentuated her slender figure, and she was radiating the energetic aura of a sprightly young woman.
So beautiful!!!
"I feel like Chaos City"s beauty ranking board is about to undergo a change after this."
"Boss Mag really has done a good deed. If a beauty like her could only wear a veil for the rest of her life, then that would be a great shame."
All of the customers were captivated by Gloria"s exquisitely beautiful features.
As expected, my judgment is spot on. Her figure and looks earn her a 9.9/10—almost a perfect score. Mag"s eyes lit up, and he was also a little stunned by her beauty. At the same time, he was very proud of the evaluation he had made when he had seen Gloria for the first time. Her beauty really did suit his tastes, but for some reason, he was surprisingly calm. If he had met someone like this in his past life, he would already be thinking about how to propose to her.
"Wow! What a beautiful Big Sister! You have purple eyes!"
Amy looked up with her mouth slightly gaping open, and her bright blue eyes were s.h.i.+mmering with excitement.
She"s so beautiful. Her skin is great, and her disposition is really good too. Yabemiya was looking at Gloria with a hint of envy in her eyes, while Sally was also slightly enraptured. It was quite a feat to be able to draw such reactions from other women.
So this is what the world looks like without my veil in the way; I haven"t seen the world like this in many years. Even the air seems to be fresher. Gloria could sense that everyone was looking at her, and a faint blush appeared on her face. In particular, when she saw Mag"s gentle yet scorching gaze, she wanted to don her veil again and flee into the distance.
However, she had mustered up a lot of courage to stand here, and from this day forth, she was going to live without her veil. She was going to become the owner of the Blue Suede Textiles Shop, and begin her journey toward her goals and dreams. She couldn"t afford to back down now. Otherwise, how would she be able to surpa.s.s Scheer Buffett, and become someone like her grandfather?
"My name is Gloria Moreton. Thank you for your tofu pudding." Gloria looked at Mag, and curtseyed as a gesture of grat.i.tude before turning to Amy with a sweet smile on her face.
"My name"s Mag, and you"re very welcome. Come on in." Mag nodded with a smile.
I did it! I told him my name! But… is he going to think that I"m taking too much initiative, and that I"m a promiscuous girl? Gloria nodded before walking into the restaurant, and heading toward her usual seat. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she could hear the sound of her heartbeat, which was fluttering like a hummingbird"s wings. She was quite elated, but also a little nervous and conflicted at the same time.
"What would you like to order?" Yabemiya made her way over to her with a smile on her face.
"I"d like a sweet tofu pudding and a Yangzhou fried rice, thanks." Gloria nodded with a smile.
"No problem, please wait a moment." Yabemiya nodded in response, and as she turned to leave, she looked at Gloria, and said, "You look really good without your veil."
"Thank you." Gloria tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, and a genuine joyful smile appeared on her face.
Gloria"s tofu pudding and Yangzhou fried rice were soon ready, and she picked up her spoon as she looked at the sweet tofu pudding before her. She leaned forward and inhaled deeply through her nose, upon which a content smile lit up her beautiful features. She placed a spoonful of tofu pudding into her mouth, and its sweet flavor seemed to have made its way even to her heart.
After taking off her veil, the sweet tofu pudding seemed to be even more delicious. From this day forth, she no longer had to worry about others seeing what she looked like.
The shackles in her heart quickly crumbled as she dined on her tofu pudding, and it was as if beams of light were s.h.i.+ning into her heart, filling her with hope and joy.
