Why?
Why would Lucas target Gernard?
Aveline couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard she thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
Gernard's voice came from beside her.
Aveline snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. "Nothing. Let's go."
"Alright."
Gernard responded with a nod.
As they exited the restaurant, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Juliet.
"Hello, Juliet."
As he answered the call, Gernard's tone softened unconsciously.
Juliet's playful voice came through, "Gernard, where are you? I'm so bored. Can I come find you to hang out?"
Gernard asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Juliet replied, "Yes, I have."
"I'm planning to head back to the hotel," Gernard said.
Juliet immediately sounded like a deflated balloon. "Going back to the hotel this early? Aren't you considering any nightlife at all? You're getting older, and Mom and Dad keep pushing you to get married, you know."
Gernard chuckled with a mix of helplessness and affection. "It's one thing for Mom and Dad to pressure me, but you too? Are you joining their team?"
Juliet giggled. "Take me out to have fun, and I won't join their team. Otherwise, I'll tell them all about what you've been up to lately and have them give you endless calls!"
Gernard quickly said, "Please don't! I'll take you out."
"Yay!"
Juliet cheered, and Gernard then mentioned a place and told her he’d pick her up shortly.
