Chapter 1766
After saying that, he swaggered into the private room and plopped himself down at the head of the table.
All were friends and peers. There was no need for formal seating arrangements, so no one paid him any mind.
Ellinor, Belinda, and Ida were busy ordering, while Chase was content to sit cross-legged on the side, quietly waiting
for instructions.
It wasn’t until everyone had ordered that they remembered the overlooked Byran.
Byran, feeling ignored, snapped. “Hey! I haven’t ordered yet, and you already gave the menus back to the
waitress?”

photos on Belinda’s iPad, enthusiastically helping her make a choice.
Byran fumed, but Chase patted his back, leaned in, and whispered, “Relax, Byran. Knowing Ida, she’s probably
ordered for you.”
Byran blinked in surprise. “Really?”
Chase grinned and nodded. “Just wait and see. There will definitely be food for you when they start serving.”
Byran’s gaze shifted to Ida as his disgruntled expression turned hopeful. Did Ida understand his tastes now?
Soon, a waitress dressed in traditional attire began serving the food.
With the table laden with dishes, Byran couldn’t tell if Ida had ordered anything for him. But with so many dishes, he
assumed there must be something.
“Alright. You three, put away the wedding dresses, and let’s eat. After dinner, I’ll take you to the bridal shop.” Chase
banged on the table to get their attention.
Ellinor, Belinda, and Ida lifted their heads, saw the table full of food, and put down the iPad to start eating.
Byran spoke up again, “Mr. Larios, did you just mention a trip to the bridal shop?”
Chase nodded. “Yes, the wedding is soon, and Belinda hasn’t chosen her dream dress yet, so I thought her friends
could help her decide.”
Byran’s eyes brightened, and he looked at Ida. “Great! We’ll go too. It’ll be a good chance for Ida to choose in
advance. After all, our wedding is also fast approaching.”
“Cough, cough…” Ida, who had just taken a bite of sushi, almost choked.
Seeing this, Byran quickly moved to Ida’s side and poured her a glass of lemonade. “Ida, slow down. No one’s

Ida fell silent.
Belinda laughed. “Byran, are you dense? You studied abroad for several years, yet your intellect seems stuck in the
past. Can’t you see that Ms. Gipson choked not because she ate too fast, but because of what you just said?”
Byran glared at Belinda. “What do you know? Focus on your own food! Stop meddling in Ida and my affairs!”
After snapping at Belinda, Byran offered the lemonade to Ida again. “Here, Ida. Drink this; it’ll help.”
Ida took the glass and sipped on it, trying to catch her breath. Then she stood up. “You guys carry on. I need to use
the restroom.”
Byran immediately followed. “I’ll come with you!”
Ida turned around and warned him. “Don’t follow me. I’m going to the ladies’ room. What are you planning on
doing there?”
