Stephen flinched, and hurriedly zipped his fingers across his mouth and sat quietly.
Archie let out a snort.
After a while, Stephen finally could not make it to hold back his curiosity and said to the two in front of him, "Bro, when did you get married? How come I did not know this at all?"
Archie didn't even bother to look at him.
"You won't think I have to report to you first when I get married, will you?"
"No, huh."
Stephen gave an awkward smile, "But you see, our grandfather had been waiting for so many years, you should let him know and he would be so happy."
Archie's eyes darkened and said nothing.
Naturally, Natalia won't comment on such a thing, either.
After all, the situation between she and Archie had been quite special. She was not ready to meet the other members of the McCarthy family yet. However, there was no way she could tell this to Stephen.
So she could only keep silent.
Seeing that they were all being quiet, Stephen sure had doubts in his head, but he knew better than to ask more questions.
Soon, the dishes were served. After they finished the meal, Archie summoned a waiter to have the plates replaced by a tea set.
Natalia took a sip of the tea, and she asked, "So you can tell me now. What happened? I need details."
Now that they had got to the business, Stephone immediately stopped his playfulness, and became serious.
The story was quite simple.
It was just the story of a pair of lovebirds with a sorry ending.
Stephen did have a girlfriend before. But he was an idol, and his care was currently on the rise, so he kept the relationship with the girl a secret and did not make it public.
The girl also agreed, and they had a very sweet period of time together.
But about half a year ago, they began to quarrel often.
The girl began to ask him for money, a lot of money every time, and Stephen was not stingy and he just gave her almost every time.
But that's not enough. He found her behavior weird since then. He had no idea where she had been, and she got irritated and angry easily. It was not uncommon for her to yell at him.
Sometimes, even when he was in the middle of filming or preparing for a show, she would just get angry for no reason.
She would then just threaten him that if he did not just show up immediately, she would expose their relationship and ruin his career.
He had no choice but to give up the show and went back to soothe his girlfriend.
Because of his girlfriend, he lost several endorsement contracts, and some crews even said he was being arrogant.
How could he be arrogant? He was simply anxious and helpless.
He had always thought that the reason why she was being so unreasonable was because he did not make their relationship public and she felt uncertain about their relationship, and that if he could do a little more for her, everything would be just alright.
But to his surprise, half a month ago, she asked to break up with him.
After all these troubles, naturally, he felt tired too.
It was not just him. Even his agent team had been complaining about the girl. He felt awkward in the middle of such a dilemma.
Now that she looked so determined, he just said yes and did not say anything more.
After they broke up, he just focused on entirely on his work.
Unexpectedly, news suddenly broke out one day. The girl had publicly accused him of cheating on her, beating her, and stealing ten million dollars from her!
He was rendered speechless.
How ridiculous it was, he thought, since he had done nothing to her.
He had immediately tried to contact the girl, only to find that she had blocked his call.
His agents had also posted an announcement for clarification, but it had little effect.
After all, the public just loved to know more about the love affair of the celebrities.
Especially the love affair of a popular actor like him.
