Chapter 798
Everyone eyed the container, and inside was a bowl of seafood soup noodles.
Unlike ordinary noodles, the noodles were long and conjoined.
Max said, "We have a rule in Kansas. On the second morning of engagement, the newly engaged must share the same bowl of noodles. The couple must eat the noodle strip from the ends to the middle, symbolizing their never-ending love. President Bailey, you don't like to be seen in public, so eating this bowl of blessed noodles shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Max raised an eyebrow at Anthony as he asked interrogatively.
Anthony had no reason to decline this.
Max waved his hand, and his assistant instantly brought the noodles and placed it on the table.
Each side of the container had a tail that formed two heart shapes, and they both must eat from one side each, moving toward the middle. This would improve one’s relationship and bring the couple closer.
Fredrick looked at Anthony, "Anthony, we won't force you if you don't want to be publicized. However, this is Kansas' tradition, and every engaged couple must eat this bowl of love noodles. Don't disappoint US."
His tone obviously displayed his growing frustration.
Susan instantly chimed in, "Don’t worry, Fredrick. Anthony and Waverly went for a fine-dining before! Why would they say no to this?”
With that, she turned to Anthony. "Anthony, hurry and ask Waverly to come downstairs. The noodles will get cold soon."
Anthony glanced at the bowl of noodles as his eyes dulled. Unintentionally, he saw Chris who was neglected by the corner, and he silently left.
At that moment, Waverly walked down the stairs. She had changed into a velvet leopard suit, paired with a short skirt. Her neck adorned with diamonds, she looked very much like a wealthy heiress.
By the side, Anthony reached out his hand intuitively, though he did not pay too much mind into it as his arm had been covered in steel.
Waverly hooked her arm around his habitually as they walked down the stairs together.
When she saw the noodles, she frowned with a hint of surprise. "Isn't this the love noodles from Kansas? Burlington has it, too?"
"Of course! Your father and I prepared this for you two early in the morning. I hope you won’t let US down," reminded Max, one with a hidden meaning to it.
Waverly looked at Anthony. "Anthony, this is a tradition of Kansas... Will..."
Would he accept it?
She did not finish the question as Anthony walked toward the table.
He said, "If it's the love noodles, it's only right we eat it."
It sounded so effortless.
Waverly frowned. Why was Anthony so easy-going?
However, Anthony had brought her to sit before the table, thus she had to sit. The two sat side-by-side while the assistant brought over their cutleries.
Fredrick took out his phone happily. "Hurry, I'll record this for you two. One only gets to eat this love noodles once in a lifetime, and we must record it!" 1
"Okay." Waverly's red lips curled into a smile. She picked up the fork and put one end of the noodle into her mouth.
Anthony put the other end into his mouth.
The noodle strip was as long as two meters, and Anthony and Waverly ate slowly while the gap between them narrowed, shorter by the second.
Max looked at them with a look of satisfaction.
They would soon be a mere breath away, face-to-face with one another.
Max did not believe that Anthony would not fall for Waverly's beautiful face. 1
Even if he would not, by the end of it, their lips would have to touch. Once they kissed...
