Chapter 992 His Treat

• “Of course, I know how to read!” Jacob's voice rose slightly for emphasis before he cast a somewhat defeated glance at the drink menu. “It's the deliciously chewy and irresistibly sweet Bob Top milkshake, right? I'll take that, with ice please!”
• His declaration prompted laughter from everyone around, including the worker. Daphne's laughter was the most spirited, echoing around them as she teased, “You really had to say it out loud, didn't you? Hahaha...”
• Josiah, typically a more stoic figure, found himself unable to suppress a smirk that tugged at the corners of his mouth. It wasn't that he was trying to laugh, but Jacob's candid outburst, with phrases one might expect from a teenage girl rather than a grown man, was amusingly out of character.
