Francis wanted to claim the debt owed by Oceans Chamber of Commerce early, but Rosie overbearingly took him for lunch.

Francis could feel that. Compared with the past, Rosie now valued him a little.

At high noon, they walked into Aegean Western Restaurant.

At lunchtime, diners rubbed shoulders with each other, and fragrance permeated the place.

There were many luxury cars parked outside.

Compared with those young women with heavy makeup, Rosie dwarfed them in terms of temperament.

As soon as they entered the door, fervent gazes were landed on Rosie.

Along with those men, there were successful businessmen and second-generation-rich.

Certainly, there were also vigorous young guys.

But Rosie paid no attention to them. Finding their seats in a corner, they ordered two steaks, a salad, and a bottle of wine.

Today she was wearing an OL dress that packed her curvy body.

Without silk stockings, her legs looked snow-white and dazzling. When she walked, her legs rubbed against each other. The scene was tantalizing.

Francis took two gulps of lemonade to relieve his inner heat.

"Remember, after lunch, go back and visit your mother. Come home for dinner in the evening."

Remembering Quella's phone call, Rosie stared at Francis and explained, "I'll help you soothe mom."

"Don't ever go to the Oceans Chamber of Commerce to claim the debt."

She was afraid that Francis would meet his end under the goad of her mother.

With a hesitant look, Francis spoke, "Rosie, I'd like to give it a try..." He was pissed by Quella last night. If he could not reclaim the debt today, he was afraid that she would slag him off like anything.

And most importantly, he wanted to set Rosie free.

Rosie's pretty face turned cold, "Now you wouldn't listen to me?"

Francis said blandly, "If I don't take back the two million, mom would curse me for a month."

"I said no, don't give me the nonsense."

Rosie looked impatient, "I'll take care of it. Even if I fail, let her curse."

"It's way better than broken limbs. The Oceans Chamber of Commerce has a background deeper than you can imagine."

Francis didn't speak but took a sip of his lemonade.

"This is it."

Rosie was overbearing as ever. Then she stared at Francis and questioned coldly, "When did you learn leechcraft?"

If she didn't see it with her own eyes, she would never believe Francis saved Xena.

Even till this very moment, Rosie still felt unreal.

A cowardly live-in son-in-law could miraculously save Xena. Who would believe that?

"I used to watch TCM program while doing housework."

Francis explained, "Day after day, I would read some of the medical books of mom and dad, so I acquired a little TCM knowledge."

"TV program?"

Rosie took a tumble as she remembered the TCM program on Channel 8 of Sea City. Sam even participated in the filming for once.

Only the program was as professional as tedious. Young people barely watched it. Unexpectedly, Francis watched it through and even learned a thing or two.

That explained why he could save Xena but not his mother who was hospitalized for a year.

It was pure luck that he saved Xena's life.

Rosie thought it through and sulked, "You are too bold. You dare to save people relying on the knowledge acquired from TV?"

"If Xena didn't make it, you would lead a hard life if not died."

She looked furious and anxious. Even till this moment, she was still suffering from the aftershock.

She knew that Francis didn't have a license to practice medicine. If Xena died, he would be sent to jail.

"I did it because I'm confident. There was the same case on the program I watched."

Francis continued to explain, "Besides, Xena was hopeless at that moment. I just saw what I could do."

"You're forgivable this time."

Rosie warned him, "Don't overstretch yourself to save people again. You should know your place."

Francis gave no reply.

"I'm not concerned about or lecturing you."

Rosie's pretty face turned cold, "I'm worried that if you harm others, Thompson Family might be implicated."

Francis smiled bitterly in his heart. Originally, he thought the woman cared about him. It turned that she was worried that Thompson Family might be implicated... "Miss, hi."

Just then, a pretty waitress came over with a tray, "This bottle of wine is bought by Mr. Lewis."

She put 5,000-yuan worth Bordeaux wine on the tray down on Rosie's table.

"Wine as a present?"

After a moment of daze, Rosie and Francis looked over following the gaze of the waitress. A man dressed in Armani nodded with a smile.

He looked young, handsome, and rich. At a glance, he was known as a successful businessman.

Sitting next to him were a few well-dressed men and women. They were looking at Rosie and Francis with playful smiles.

Without any hesitation, Rosie rejected his kind offer, "Sorry, I don't know him, so take the wine back."

"Well..." The pretty waitress frowned, "Miss, Mr. Lewis is rarely so enthusiastic. I hope you can accept it."

"You know, Mr. Lewis is handsome and rich. Countless women try to curry favor with him."

"Don't you feel honored to receive a bottle of wine from such an exalted man?"

"I couldn't understand why you have to decline."

She acted like Rosie failed to appreciate what was good.

Without doubts, the Armani youth was a regular customer here and had an affair with the pretty waitress.

Keeping his head low, Francis ate the steak without a word.

381 yuan a set. He shouldn't waste it.

"Are you deaf?"

Rosie's voice turned cold, "Take the wine back, you've disturbed our meal."

She took a look at Francis who acted like an ostrich. A flicker of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

In the morning, she thought Francis changed. To her surprise, he was the same coward.

Her fervent heart turned colder.

The pretty waitress looked annoyed by Rosie's indifferent attitude, "Miss, I'm just for your good. Mr. Lewis is so outstanding and showed a gesture of kindness. You should appreciate it."

She was disgusted with Rosie's attitude and believed she was pretending. Mr. Lewis was so rich, how was it possible that Rosie didn't want to play up to him?

"He is way better than the man by your side. You'll regret it if you miss the chance."

She even shot a contemptuous glance at Francis. In fact, she was aware of his presence.

But in her view, Francis was not at the same league with Baron Lewis.

Rosie cursed directly, "Get lost!"

From the commanding position, the pretty waitress looked at Rosie, "Miss, you should stop your pretense..." Rosie arched her eyebrow, "Tell your manager to get his ass over here."

Swoosh... Just then, Baron, who had been watching the scene, walked over with a cup of wine.

He looked refined in temperament.

His face was full of confidence.

His cronies also followed over with playful smiles to watch the fun.

"Mr. Lewis is awesome as always. Is he trying to snatch a woman in public?"

"Hehe, once Mr. Lewis takes a fancy to a woman, she would not get away. Instead, she would throw herself on him obediently."

"Remember that internet celebrity? She cursed Mr. Lewis like a chaste virgin. In the end, Mr. Lewis banged her at two million yuan."

"This is gonna be fun..." Many men in the restaurant were discussing with each other vigorously.

The pretty waitress also smiled proudly.

Since Mr. Lewis came in person, Rosie would definitely yield to him.

Rosie took another glance at Francis who was still unresponsive. Her heart was filled with self-mockery and disappointment.

Although they didn't have a real relationship, they were legally a couple. A normal husband should be mad when his wife was harassed.

Such an incompetent and irresponsible coward!

She regretted it that she looked upon Francis this morning.

"Beauty, hi, my name is Baron Lewis."

Baron came to Rosie with a graceful smile, "I'm so fortunate to meet you today. I wonder if you can drink with me, and we get to know each other."

His air was confident, and his movement steady.

Without doubts, he ignored Francis.

Without even looking at him, Rosie looked at Francis and said, "Francis, are you done? Time to leave."

The pretty waitress flew into a rage, "Mr. Lewis is here in person, and you should be enthusiastic. If you offend Mr. Lewis, you'll be in trouble."

"Be gentle with the beautiful lady..." Baron waved at the pretty waitress, shook his glass of wine, and then smiled at Francis who was eating steak, "Mister, I like your woman. Finish your food and get out."

"You could never protect such a pretty woman."

While speaking, he threw out a Ferrari key and a door card of an Apollo Villa.

His cronies laughed out loud.

The pretty waitress also looked at Francis contemptuously.

The dinners also looked over and gloated over the hilarity.

They were expecting Francis's reaction.

Francis finished the last bite of steak and pulled a piece of tissue to slowly wipe his mouth.

Angered by Francis's indifference, Baron immediately narrowed his eyes and patted Francis's cheek with a smile, "Do you hear me?"

"You're so lucky in love affairs, and I envy you so much. The consequences are serious."

His laughter was arrogant and cold.

Francis said blandly, "Do you know the consequences of patting my face?"

"Consequences? Kid, you're tough. I'd like to see the consequences..." Baron sneered with a dip of sarcasm and continued to pat Francis on the cheek.

This time his hand missed the target.

Bang... Francis turned his body, grabbed Baron's neck, and smashed his head into the dish.

The broken bits of the dish stained with garish crimson blood splattered.

Francis didn't stop there but grabbed the wine bottle for another strike.

The back of Baron's head was smashed broken with a bang.

Baron supported himself with his hands against the table, struggling and whimpering.

"Ah..." Several women couldn't help screaming, and those men changed countenance.

Out of instinct, Rosie exclaimed behind her month as she didn't expect such a turn of event.

At the same time, a ripple spread in her heart, and she got a sense of security for the first time.

The next second Francis kicked Baron away, "Get lost!"
