A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1062

Chapter 1062 System, I Want To Use A Lucky Draw Chance

In the elven embassy, Yngwie closed the door and looked at Shirley as he agitatedly said, “Young Master Blour, you’ve really thought things through and decided to join the rebellion army? Once word gets out, the chief will definitely cut all ties with you in order to protect the Baibilly Family. You will lose everything. Although Princess Irina is very powerful, she is leading only a group of slaves. Nothing will change!”
Shirley looked at Yngwie calmly, and said, “I am just here to bid farewell. Thanks for your care during this period of time. I’ve finished what I wanted to say. I’m off.”

Yngwie watched as Shirley turned around and opened the door. With a frown, he said, “Last night, the chief sent me a secret message to bring you back.”

“Do you also think that what they are doing is right?” Shirley said without turning back, her hand on the door handle.

“I don’t know about what is right or wrong. What I know is that if you go, you will die,” Yngwie said.

“I know that you know.” Shirley pulled open the door, and the sun cast a glow on her.

“I will work hard not to die.” Shirley smiled and walked out.

Yngwie raised his hand holding the magic staff and lowered it slowly. At last, he let out a heavy sigh.

“If I were a hundred years younger, I would probably walk down the same path too…

“Freedom, being young…”

…

“Take care of the child. If I don’t make it back this time, tell her that her father died for freedom. This is the soul of the elves.”

A middle-aged elf carried his luggage and kissed a little elf who was still asleep.

The female elf who was watching with her eyes reddened gave him a tight hug, and said, “Come back alive. Our child and I are waiting for you.”

That elf hugged her back tightly and whispered softly by her ear, “Take good care of yourself. If I don’t make it back, find a nice guy and live on.”

“No, I’m only waiting for you.” She shook her head hard very resolutely.

…

Similar things were happening in the different areas of Chaos City. Some of them were high officials in the gray temple and city lord’s castle, and some of them were shop owners in Aden Square, while others were just workers in small workshops south of the city.

However, because of one proclamation, they put everything down, carried their bags and their bows and arrows, and started the journey towards the Wind Forest.

They left the Wind Forest back then precisely because they did not like the restrictions there.

Now that Princess Irina had started a rebellion, they were willing to give their all for the forest of their memories.

…

In the restaurant.

Mag looked at the group that had already arrived and tried to remain calm as he said, “Shirley left. She told me to bid farewell to all of you on her behalf.”

“She… will be coming back,” Anna said softly. Her eyes were still red.

“Why is she just like Sally? Leaving without a word…” Yabemiya said with devastation.

The others were also a little down. Everyone had gotten along well during this period, and they complemented each other quite well at work too, so now that Shirley had left abruptly, they felt somewhat reluctant to part.

“Alright, let’s have breakfast first, then prepare for our opening.” Mag smiled and stroked Anna’s head. He said to Elizabeth, “Elizabeth, I need you to take over the cleaning roles since Shirley is gone. Can you do it?”

“Mm-hm.” Elizabeth nodded. She did not appear very affected.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Mag nodded. With her 8th-tier powers, it was a waste to have her only do a little cleaning.

I must make my feelings known to Miss Shirley today. I hope she will be able to understand my feelings for her with this diamond ring, Constantine thought nervously as he stood at the front of the line with a small, exquisite box held tightly in his hand, trying to look into the restaurant.

Although Miss Shirley did not seem to have expressed much interest in him throughout this period, at least he was seen every day and had become a familiar face.

The torture of longing for her day and night felt like a roller-coaster ride.

He could no longer continue like this. He had to make his feelings known to Shirley today.

Be it acceptance or rejection, he just wanted a conclusion and not elusive hope.

In the midst of the anxious wait, the restaurant doors opened slowly just as usual. Boss Mag stood by the entrance and greeted everyone with a smile. “Goodmorning, welcome to Mamy Restaurant.”

The restaurant staff stood on both sides of the restaurant’s aisle.

Constantine soothed his clothes and walked towards the door, past the familiar faces, but there was no sign of Shirley.

She’s not around? Constantine was dumbfounded. The crowd moved in, and he moved along into the restaurant with the crowd. He looked around the place, including the kitchen, but did not see Shirley anywhere.

“Boss Mag, where’s Miss Shirley? Why isn’t she around today? Is she on leave?” Constantine asked Mag, who was about to go to the kitchen, nervously.

“She quit and left.” Mag looked at Constantine. This man who insisted on coming to the restaurant every day to please Shirley could be considered the restaurant’s regular.

“Quit and left?” Constantine’s face changed. The exquisite wooden box in his hand fell, and a purple-gold diamond ring dropped out. The gem shimmered as light was reflected in it.

After recovering from the shock, Constantine did not care about the ring. He quickly grabbed Mag as though he was his last lifeline, and nervously asked, “Then… Then do you know where she went?”

“She did not say, but I think she probably left Chaos City by now.” Mag shook his head.

“Left…” Constantine let go of Mag’s hand as though he was suddenly sucked out of all his energy, and he walked out depressedly.

For some people, the moment they turned around, it became farewell.

He suddenly felt a little regret. If only he had mustered the courage yesterday.

Even if he were to be rejected.

He was once a man many women chased after. He had wealth and looks.

However, in front of him, he was just like someone chasing after the light, hiding miserably in the shadows.

When Mag picked the ring on the floor up and lifted his head, Constantine was already out the door.

Although I can’t congratulate him, I can’t really say much. It should be bliss to be unaware. Mag looked at the ring in his hand and put it carefully back into the small box. He’d better return it to him on another day. He should be feeling terrible today.

…

After the morning operation hours, Mag started teaching Firis how to make Yangzhou fried rice.

This was actually not a simple dish of fried rice if one was to go into detail about the cooking procedure, the size of the flame, and the technique of stir-frying.

Luckily, Firis was indeed quite talented, and as she also liked to stand at the side to watch Mag quietly when he cooked, she was able to get the hang of it very quickly.

“System, I want to use a lucky draw chance.”

Mag lay on the lounge chair outside the restaurant, sunbathing, when he tapped on the lucky draw wheel.

The past two days had been too exciting that he almost forgot that he still had two lucky draw chances.
