We grew up together. We’ve known each other since we were in diapers. You’re telling me it’s not ‘appropriate to meet after six months?” Ethan scoffed. “Cut the crap. Get to my place after work, or I’ll be waiting at yours.”

They had done this countless times before Cole had gone abroad.

The line went silent for a few seconds before Cole finally spoke. “Ever since Mia left, your state of mind has been n a tailspin. The last time you called me in the middle of the night like this was when you decided to be with Chloe Bennett.”

The noise of the city filtered through the car window. Ethan’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel.

After a dead silence, he snapped, “People say foreigners are straightforward. You go abroad for a few years and come back acting like a nagging old woman?”

Cole remained silent.

Before hanging up, Ethan threw out a final, frustrated “Get lost.”

The dinner plans were ruined, but the urge to drink remained. When he got home, he opened a bottle of red wine and began to drink alone.

The massive villa was deathly quiet, the only sound being the dull swallow of wine sliding down his throat.

A sudden ringtone shattered the silence.

Ethan stepped inside from the balcony and glanced at his phone.

t was Chloe.

He waited a few seconds before sliding the screen to answer.

Ethan,” Chloe’s voice was hushed, carrying a soft, feminine gentleness that sounded almost seductive in the niddle of the night. “Do you have time tomorrow? Should we go look at the hotel?”

Ethan’s voice was as indifferent as ever. “You decide.”

But my mother and your mother both want us to go together.” Chloe paused before adding, “Are you still angry bout Mia? You promoted her to General Manager of the branch as compensation; can’t we just move past this?”

You’re overthinking it. I have work to handle,” Ethan said.

You and Cole were seen leaving a bar together last night. The media caught it. Fortunately, my father found out early and blocked it. Otherwise… you’d be on the news today.”

Chloe hesitated before warning, “You should stay away from Cole.”

The Preston family viewed Cole as a disgrace. Most of the high society circle avoided him like the plague. Yet Ethan’s friendship with him had never wavered.

Anything else?”

My father went to a lot of trouble to suppress that news,” Chloe reminded him.

Next time, don’t bother. I have nothing to hide,” Ethan said, refusing to acknowledge the favor.

Chloe’s tone grew urgent. “Aren’t you afraid Cole will-”

Chloe.” Ethan’s voice suddenly turned bone-chillingly cold. “That is not something that should ever come out of

‘our mouth.”

Chloe had grown up alongside both him and Cole.

She went silent instantly.

A few seconds later, Ethan hung up.

The dial tone echoed in the room. Chloe’s face turned green with rage as she slammed her phone onto the bed.

What happened?” Sandra Bennett was standing at the door. Seeing her daughter throw the phone, she walked in quickly. “Did he refuse?”

He said he’s busy with work.” Chloe couldn’t count how many times she had been brushed off with that excuse.

jandra looked like she wanted to say something, but she sighed and tried to comfort her. “Bayview is busy. At least Mia is gone. No one is standing in the way of your marriage anymore. You-”

But now there’s Cole Preston!”
