章 58: The Taste of Hope

As they exited the car, Jessica began to tell Ethan about the restaurant's history, her voice urgent.

"Ocean's Bounty used to be one of the top seafood restaurants in the city," she explained. "But after the founder, Arthur Neal, passed away a few years ago, his son, Mason Neal, took over. Unfortunately, things haven't been the same since."

Ethan listened attentively as they walked to the entrance, taking in the details.

"Mason inherited the restaurant and its recipes but never matched his father's skill," Jessica continued. "Arthur had a way of preparing unique dishes—his flavors were distinctive, and people came from all over to try his creations. After Arthur's death, Mason's cooking just didn't have the same magic. It was like something was missing."
