My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1748

Chapter 1748

The atmosphere became intensely awkward at that instant. However, it seemed that Nicole was the only one who had not been able to sense it.

After receiving a new plate from the waiter, she turned to smile at Lloyd and said, "Sorry about that. I'm a bit of a clean freak."

A pang of shock surged through everyone present in the room. Everyone was utterly taken aback with the notion that Nicole would express her disgust with the best actor, Lloyd Holder!

Everyone in the room was all the more appalled when Nicole said that she was a clean freak, which was the reason for her disgust toward Lloyd. Furthermore, Lloyd had not expected that Nicole would be so brazen with her rejection of him in public. He had thought that Nicole would at least not make him look bad in public, given their many years of friendship between them.

Lloyd fell silent once Nicole had embarrassed him in public. He could not help himself from clenching his fork in his hand.

Then, he forced a stiff smile and said, 'My apologies. I took the liberty."

"Lloyd," Nachelle uttered, unable to sit still as she watched her son suffer that humiliation.

"You're too..." Lloyd reached out and placed his hand on his mothers' to reassure her.

Though Nachelle was burning with rage on the behalf of her son, she had to suppress her anger to save everyone from any further embarrassment.

At that moment, Lloyd picked his glass of wine up and tried to ease the awkward tension. "Come on. This is our first dinner together since we started filming. Let's have toast together, especially after we've gotten to the bottom of the person who had tampered with the prop car. Cheers!"

"Okay!" Everyone hurriedly agreed, all wanting to put the issue in the back burner.

Nicole watched as everyone toasted, after which she also took a sip herself. The atmosphere had lightened up as everyone began to take a bite of their own food. However, Nachelle was still stewing in resentment at Nicole.

'Before all this happened, I thought Nicole was an excellent girl, perfect in all aspects. Her background and everything was a perfect match for Lloyd. With the addition of the Fire Crest, it was picture perfect, and it posed no harm to our Holder family. Now, she's got my son wrapped around her finger!
