Chapter 115: End of the Date
He picked up his fork from the plate and sliced through the cake.
Taking a small bite, the sweetness of the bite was rich but not overly so, just as he had expected.
As Amelia tried her cheesecake, he glanced up at her.
After the first bite, her eyes slightly widened.
"Oh wow, this is really good," she said as she gulped down. As she spoke, she concealed her lips using her right hand. Read latest chapters on NovelBin.Côm
As Noah chuckled, he added, "To be honest, I didn’t expect their cakes to be so nice either."
Amelia gave a nod, enjoying the smooth, rich texture of the cheesecake. as she continued to eat.
A relaxing vibe was formed between them as they ate in silence due to the gentle illumination in the room.
"It was a good decision, no?"
Amelia nodded while continuing to eat her slice.
"It was definitely a good choice. You’re good at selecting food."
"Only food?" he asked with a smile on his face, causing her to flush once again.
She shook her head, laughing softly.
"All right, all right. You are skilled in a lot of things, including games," she said as she rolled her eyes at him playfully.
"Well," he said, setting his fork down. "That was some good food, but I think we can still fit in one more round of Underwatch 2, don’t you think?"
Amelia’s eyes grew wider as she said, "You read my mind."
Noah sat in front of the screen, quietly making a new account as Amelia prepared her character. He glanced at her and said with a grin, "I forgot my password, so I’m just making a fresh account real quick."
She nodded and said "Take your time, i’m fixing my sensitivity anyway."
After setting up the account, they quickly jumped into a match. Noah selected a tank role, choosing a hero built for diving straight into the action.
Amelia, on the other hand, locked in her DPS pick—another dive hero that complemented Noah’s playstyle perfectly.
The moment the game began, their coordination was almost effortless. Noah barreled forward into the fight, drawing the enemy’s attention and creating chaos in the frontlines.
Amelia flanked from the side, dealing damage and picking off enemies one by one. Their teamwork was flawless; their plan was to dive the enemy support and also disrupt them.
The enemy team struggled to keep up. In the chat, messages started to pop up:
"Smurfs..."
"Stop sweating in quick play... go play comp NERDS!"
Noah’s lips twitched into a smirk as he saw the complaints. He turned to Amelia, raising an eyebrow as she giggled, reading the messages.
She shrugged at the chat, her smile bright.
"We’re just that good."
Match after match, they packed the opposition and made them rage.
Noah would charge in, creating openings, while Amelia expertly took advantage of every opportunity, eliminating enemies with precision.
Their teamwork made the other team’s complaints grow louder with each passing game.
She looked at Noah, eyes shining.
"We’re on fire!"
Noah nodded, chuckling. "I think we’re making some enemies."
They exchanged glances, both of them smiling as the chat continued to flood with frustrated remarks.
"The chat is making me have more fun than the actual game play." Noah said as he chuckled.
"Villain." Amelia replied, but a small smile formed on her lips. She was clearly enjoying it too.
When the final match ended with another dominant win, Amelia leaned back in her chair, letting out a satisfied sigh. "That was awesome!" she exclaimed, her cheeks slightly flushed from the excitement.
Noah nodded, a content smile playing on his lips. "We’re a good duo, don’t you think?" he said, glancing at her with approval.
"Mnm," she nodded.
Noah glanced at Amelia. "Ready to head out?" he asked, stretching his arms as if the games hadn’t even tired him out. Amelia nodded, still buzzing from their victories but feeling a bit of fatigue settling in.
They packed up their things and made their way to the front counter. As they approached, the worker had already noticed Noah.
"Can I have the bill? Thank you," Noah said.
"Sure thing, your total comes to $85.99, including the food," the worker said politely.
"Would you like to pay cash or card?"
Noah reached into his pocket, pulling out his sleek black card. "Card," he said with a small smile.
Then, after a brief pause, he added, "Also, make it $100. The rest is your tip."
The worker’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, but he quickly composed himself, offering Noah a grateful nod.
"Thank you so much, sir. I really appreciate it."
As the worker entered the amount into the card reader, the familiar sound of approval rang out.
"Ding! Payment approved."
"Thanks for coming here, sir. Please drop by again when you’re free," the worker added, bowing his head slightly in respect as he handed the card back.
Noah simply nodded in return, sliding the card into his wallet.
The drive back to Amelia’s place was quiet but comfortable, with only the soft sound of the engine filling the silence between them.
Noah’s presence next to her was reassuring, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment.
Soon enough, they arrived in front of her house.
Noah parked the car and glanced at her. "Here we are," he said with his usual calm tone.
Amelia smiled, her cheeks still slightly flushed from the day’s excitement. "Thanks for today, Noah. I had a great time."
Noah nodded, offering her a faint smile. "Me too, sleep well."
"Thank you, good night!" she replied as she stepped out of the Lykan.
The guards gave her a quick salute, which she returned as she entered the house.
Seeing her enter the house, Noah nodded towards the guards and revved the engine, leaving the area.
He muttered something silently as he drove back towards his mansion.
