Ivan responded, "On the wall."
After speaking, Ivan looked at Teddy and asked, "Did she call you?"
Teddy nodded, "Uncle Baxter also called just now. He said if he sees you, let him know right away, as he's a bit worried about you."
Ivan made a sound of agreement, "Don't worry, I'll go back later tonight."
Teddy wanted to say something more but Ivan interrupted, "Alright, weren't we supposed to drink tonight? It's my treat, so let's enjoy ourselves."
Teddy looked at Ivan like that and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "Alright, let's drink. We won't go home until we're drunk."
The group of friends often hung out together, and they could all tell that Ivan was in a bad mood, so they didn't say anything unnecessary.
As for why Madison had been calling all evening, no one was really curious enough to ask Ivan.
After a few rounds of drinks, Teddy sat silently with Ivan.
Teddy watched as Ivan finished one glass after another, and he reached out and took the glass from Ivan's hand, "Are you planning to drink yourself into a stupor before you stop?"
When Ivan heard Teddy's words, he glanced at him, "No, I'm not drunk."
"I know you're not drunk now, but if you keep drinking like this, you'll probably get drunk soon." Teddy drank the remaining contents of the glass and placed the empty glass on the table next to him. Then he turned to Ivan and whispered, "Ivan, it's just the two of us here now. Is there something you can't tell me? If you can't, I'll accompany you in drinking tonight. If you can, just tell me."
After listening to Teddy's words, Ivan fell silent for a few seconds, "Do you have a cigarette?"
Teddy got up and took a cigarette from the other table, handed it to Ivan, and lit it for him. Then he took one for himself and found a comfortable position to sit next to Ivan.
"I don't want to get married anymore."
Just when Teddy was becoming impatient, Ivan suddenly said this.
Upon hearing Ivan's words, Teddy froze for a moment while smoking, then turned to look at him, "Are you serious? Or is it just a momentary impulse?"
"Do I look like someone who acts on impulse?"
"No, you compromised before. Why are you suddenly changing your mind now?" Teddy leaned closer to Ivan, "You're not still hung up on Yanis, are you? She has already reconciled with someone else, you don't have a chance anymore."
"Teddy, do you think I'm someone who doesn't know my limits?"
"You know your limits, but why do you suddenly not want to get married? It's not fair to Miss Hope if you treat her like this." Teddy said earnestly.
