Dishes were served one after the other. The smell that came from the sea food was so attractive that Jack gulped. Although he had by now gotten used to eating the high end dishes, he had had less of the sea food.r

Celine seemed to be good at ordering the sea food as most of the ones that she had ordered for were the ones that could deal with the hunger that Jack was in currently.r

Although he had eaten a lot of junk food when he was out with Celine, he had also spent some of it. Furthermore, it had already been a few hours since he last ate.r

With the improvement of his physique, so had his appetite increased. And, it seemed that his appetite was increasing as days went by. He wasn't sure why but it seemed that he would have to ask the system about it once he got back.r

The two began eating. Jack fed Celine at times. And since there were only the two of them in the private room, Celine accepted Jack's treatment with a smile. In return, she helped him in some of the dishes that he didn't know how to eat as this was his first time.r

She had been with Jack for over a week back in Inchoate city and she knew about his appetite. So, she had made sure to order a lot of food for him.r

As they ate, they looked out the window. Since it was still summer, night always set in a little late. Though, the sun had already set and the darkness had already began covering the sky.r

It was also at this point that Jack realized why Celine had brought him here. It wasn't just because of the cool breeze that blew from the lake into the restaurant through the huge windows. It was the scenery when darkness set in.r

When they finished eating, the duo simply went towards the window and watched as the night set in. One by one, lights were being switched on. The bulbs that were used were clearly special as they were lighting up the lake from about two meters from the water surface.r

In other words, around the restaurant, there were several lights that illuminated the darkness from the water. The water itself was clear.r

So, as the myriad of colors shone, Jack could see different types of fish that began swimming towards the lights. Other than being attractive, it was obvious that the heat that was produced by the bulbs was attracting the fish.r

Jack had never thought that in this shallow lake, there were so many fish species. But most importantly, these fish were mainly those that were used for decoration.r

"These fish were all brought here by the owner of the restaurant. She likes fish a lot. So, when she was building a restaurant here, she had decided to add a few more fish here." Celine began explaining as she leaned her head on Jack's shoulder.r

"The fish that she brought here, although they are ornamental, they are the ones that could survive the harsh conditions of the lake unlike the ones that are reared in the fish tanks."r

"But as a result, the ones here are not as beautiful as the ones that can be kept at home. But still, under the illumination of the lights of different colors, the beauty of the night here is colorful."r

"Most couples come here during the night to enjoy the view while at the same time, they would be enjoying themselves with the delicacies of the restaurant."r

Jack nodded in response. He too enjoyed the serenity here. And as they watched the beautiful view, they also enjoy the slow, emotional and romantic music. This was indeed a place for couples.r

"But, even if these fish were brought here, are you sure that there's nobody that can come and fish them out?" Jack asked.r

"Well, that could have been possible if they were not being restricted. These fish cannot move far from the center of the lake because there's a separation that has been placed there, surrounding the whole restaurant."r

"In this way, of there's any predator that could eat them, it couldn't reach them. As for someone trying to fish them, there are security guards here. Since the radius isn't big, as long as someone tries fishing, they would be able to spot them before stopping them." Celine explained.r

The two stayed here till It was nine in the eight in the night. They had at some point gotten fruits to eat to pass time and at the same time, as the temperatures dropped, they had a cup of coffee each.r

"Let's get going. I'm sure that you are going to get busy tomorrow, right?" Jack asked.r

"Mmh." Celine nodded in response as she stood up with the help of Jack. Although she would have wanted to spend more time with Jack, she just couldn't. The following day, she was supposed to go back and deal with some things in the family business. As the only heir, she had a lot of work to do.r

She had been away for almost a month and so, there was already a good pile of work that she needed to take care of. Had she not been persistent, her mother wouldn't have allowed her to leave today.r

As they left the restaurant, they took the same boat as the one that they had used when coming here. Jack began paddling the boat as they headed towards the shore.r

And since they were in the waters, they could now clearly see the fish. They were beautiful to say in the least. Compared to the ones that he had seen in the Alfonso mansion, these were a big notch above.r

When they reached the shore, Jack drove the car again. "Show me the directions, I'll take you home." Jack stated.r

"But, it would be better if I don't disturb you. After all, the trip to and from my home will take a long time." Celine said.r

"What are you worried about? It's not like there's anybody that would attack me, right? I can go to your house and know where it is. In this way, I can come and pay you a visit some day." Jack said.r

"Okay then." Celine nodded her head obediently and began instructing Jack on where to head to.r

About fifty minutes later, they arrived at the high-end community that was located not far from the heart of the city. The security here was tight. Had it not been for the fact that the guards here were familiar with Celine's car, they would have stopped her.r

"Hey, that's the first time that I have seen that young miss coming back with a man."r

"Right. I wonder who he is. Could he be her cousin or something?"r

"Of course not. Didn't you see how intimate they were in the car?"r

"You are right. That guy surely is lucky. To be able to get a beauty of such level and her family is rich, he's going to enjoy his life."r

"If I could have gotten just 10% of his luck, perhaps I may be able to throw behind the title of the oldest bachelor."r

"Even with his luck, you won't be able to marry."r

"Why?"r

"You are so ugly that all the ladies always run away from you. Although you could have a least managed to find a lady that doesn't care about your face, but how is your attitude? It's worse than your face!"r

"…."r

As Jack and Celine drove away, the five guards that were on duty on that night began chatting with each other. They had been here for a long time and they had already gotten familiar with most of the people that lived here.r

The community was mainly filled with the high-end single family villas. The atmosphere was one that was filled with serenity, an indication that this was the area where rich people lived. Jack could see that each of the villas here had their own courtyards.r

But when compared to the big five villas of his Serenity Residential Area, these single family villas couldn't hold ground at all.r

From time to time, they met with some sports cars that were being driven by the young masters that were heading out to play or were just coming back.r

After heading a little deep, they arrived in front of a white villa. This villa had the same design just like the others. But, there were differences in terms of the courtyard arrangement, the color and the cars that could be found in the parking lot.r

In front of this family villa, Jack could see three cars parked there. The cars themselves were not sports cars but just normal cars that the rich could use as they were good in terms of comfort.r

There was a Mercedes Maybach S-class, a Range Rover SV Carmel and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. All of these could accommodate the whole family of three.r

After getting here, Jack parked the car next to the others in the parking lot.r

Just as he was about to get out of the car, Celine embraced him. This surprised Jack as he wasn't expecting that she would react in this way. And, he didn't even know to what she was reacting this way to.r

Just then, Celine's voice reached his ears. "Jack, thanks for the day. I can say, this should be my best day ever since I turned fifteen."r

"Worry not. If you have time, I'll accompany you." Jack promised. He knew that Celine was busy. And, he wasn't the type of man that would ask his girl not to work simply because he thought that he was rich enough to take care of her.r

She too had her life to live. So, he was going to let her enjoy her freedom.r

After a while, Celine got out of his embrace before opening the door. Jack followed. He wanted to take a taxi back to the hotel.r

"Jack, why don't you come in? I'm sure that my parents are home. It won't be bad for you to know them, right?" Celine suggested.r
