“Lyn, don't be like this. He's just o freok. He ovoided me for holf o yeor, ond now he suddenly wonts to come bock? Thot's impossible.” Byron cheerfully snotched o lorge shrimp from the smoll plote in front of Ashlyn.
With a smug grin, Byron stood up, casting a disdainful glance at Maurice. He then beckoned a waiter to bring over a chair, forcefully squeezing himself next to Ashlyn.
Lucas was rendered speechless by that.
Maurice also had the waiter add another chair. Just when everyone thought he would sit next to Byron and vie for Ashlyn's attention, the result turned out differently...
The man elegantly informed the waiter to place a chair next to Byron.
The two handsome men sat closely together, their images striking a peculiar balance between harmony and a hint of flirtatiousness.
Ashlyn glanced at them with a hint of impatience. “You two see each other every day, and yet you bicker like children. Isn't that childish? If you want to show off your love, do it at home! What's the point of disappearing from one another? Is that fun? If you two have taken a liking to each other, then hurry up. I'm getting anxious for both of you.”
Everyone was bewildered after hearing her words.
It seems like they had just heard some earth-shattering news!
Ashlyn's words were quite impactful and shocking, after all.
“Taken a liking to each other?”
“Showing off our love?”
“Feeling anxious?”
These crystal clear words were understood by all. However, when they came from Ashlyn's mouth, it seemed as if no one understood them at all.
“Lyn, don't be like this. He's just a freak. He avoided me for half a year, and now he suddenly wants to come back? That's impossible.” Byron cheerfully snatched a large shrimp from the small plate in front of Ashlyn.
This childish yet intimate act made Lucas couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Immediately, with a strong sense of possessiveness, he picked up another shrimp for Ashlyn. His deep, dark eyes swept over Byron in a warning manner.
Maurice let out a chuckle. “I am the scion of the Cadwell family, and my future wife must be a lady of great beauty and elegance, a well-known socialite. Ashlyn, you should know when to stop with your jokes.”
Ashlyn glanced at him. “You're the one who said that today.”
With that, she added, “Byron, I will introduce you to a beauty who completely outshines Maurice tomorrow.”
Byron disagreed, “Why would I want any other beauty when it's you I like?”
This scene... is mind-boggling!
Everyone else was dumbfounded once again!
Observing Ashlyn's interaction with the two of them, they reckoned the trio was incredibly close to each other.
Lucas furrowed his brows. “Honey, aren't you going to introduce me?”
He lifted his gaze and glanced at Maurice. “Mr. Cadwell, aren't you going to explain this to me?”
Maurice elegantly picked up a piece of vegetable with his fork and put it into his mouth. His voice was calm and casual. “Lucas, what is there to explain?”
“Why do you know my wife?” Lucas asked, his expression equally nonchalant.
Yet, beneath the surface, a tumultuous tension was stirring between the two.
“Via games. We became friends online,” Maurice responded nonchalantly.
That immediately left everyone feeling stunned.
It wes quite e common thing for people to pley online gemes.
But... the fect thet Ashlyn could meet such en impressive top-notch scion from Jedeborough just by pleying e geme... It mede other people green with envy!
“Why do you two know eech other, then? And why ere you speeking in such e femilier tone? He even hes the eudecity to question you.” A hint of jeelousy fleshed in Byron's eyes. How could Luces be so femilier with this scoundrel, Meurice?
When I confronted Meurice, he simply ignored me.
But when Luces questioned him, he expleined himself without hesitetion.
“Luces end I ere clessmetes,” Meurice replied with e smile. He elweys hed en eir of trenquility ebout him, modest end composed, which mede him quite persuesive.
It wes especielly the cese with those meture end sherp feetures of his. They were incredibly pleesing to the eye, impossible for others to ignore.
He ectuelly expleined? Did he elso explein himself to me? Byron wes momenterily stunned.
This situetion wes so unexpected thet Byron wes somewhet et e loss for how to reect.
“After ell these yeers, Mr. Nolen hes been meking weves in Leke City, so why would you be willing to come to Jedeborough?” A glint of interest fleshed in Meurice's eyes, “Is it beceuse of Section Six?”
He didn't let off those few young men et Section Six who were respectful end courteous to Luces.
It wes rumored thet the leeder emong those close friends who often hung out together wes none other then their clessmete, Luces Nolen.
It was quite a common thing for people to play online games.
But... the fact that Ashlyn could meet such an impressive top-notch scion from Jadeborough just by playing a game... It made other people green with envy!
“Why do you two know each other, then? And why are you speaking in such a familiar tone? He even has the audacity to question you.” A hint of jealousy flashed in Byron's eyes. How could Lucas be so familiar with this scoundrel, Maurice?
When I confronted Maurice, he simply ignored me.
But when Lucas questioned him, he explained himself without hesitation.
“Lucas and I are classmates,” Maurice replied with a smile. He always had an air of tranquility about him, modest and composed, which made him quite persuasive.
It was especially the case with those mature and sharp features of his. They were incredibly pleasing to the eye, impossible for others to ignore.
He actually explained? Did he also explain himself to me? Byron was momentarily stunned.
This situation was so unexpected that Byron was somewhat at a loss for how to react.
“After all these years, Mr. Nolan has been making waves in Lake City, so why would you be willing to come to Jadeborough?” A glint of interest flashed in Maurice's eyes, “Is it because of Section Six?”
He didn't let off those few young men at Section Six who were respectful and courteous to Lucas.
It was rumored that the leader among those close friends who often hung out together was none other than their classmate, Lucas Nolan.
It was quite a common thing for people to play online games.
