Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 767

Dinner was a joyous affair.

Since it was a welcome-home party for Hunter, he was naturally the center of attention.

"I mean it, Hunter. Now that you're back in the country, are you really not going to visit the family? Mom, Dad, and Grandpa might not say it, but they definitely miss you..." Grant said, tossing back the rest of his drink.

"We'll see..."

Hunter clearly didn't want to discuss it.

Back then, he had been young, reckless, and came out of the closet against his family's wishes. The scandal was massive, ultimately forcing him to leave the country.

Even though seven or eight years had passed and most people had forgotten the mess, the wounds were still raw for Hunter. Time couldn't erase everything.

Seeing Hunter's blatant reluctance, Grant pressed his lips together and didn't push it.

They were all adults with their own burdens. Nagging wouldn't help.

However...

Grant's peach-blossom eyes crinkled as he looked at Vincent sitting beside Hunter. He nudged Hunter's shoulder playfully. "Hey, Hunter. Is the guy you brought back... your partner?"

Pfft!

Hunter spat out his drink.

Fortunately, he managed to turn his head just in time, saving the table of food from his impromptu shower.

"Fuck! What kind of garbage are you spouting?!"

Hunter wiped the alcohol from his mouth. "He's a friend!"

Grant raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it.

This foreigner was pretty, with fair skin and delicate features. He totally looked like a bottom. Did Hunter think Grant knew nothing about the gay community?!

His brother was probably just shy!

"Hunter, say no more. I completely understand!" Grant patted his chest and winked.

"..."

Hunter scowled. "Understand what, you idiot?"

Grant snickered, his eyes turning into joyful crescents.

Seeing his infuriatingly smug expression, Hunter's eyelid twitched violently.

Knowing the idiot's imagination was running wild, Hunter decided to ignore him before he made things worse.

Soon, dinner wrapped up.

Sebastian started demanding an after-party, but Hudson shot him a deadly glare. "Enough. It's been a long day. Everyone go home and rest."

Sebastian sighed, rubbing his nose in disappointment. "Alright, alright. Whatever you say, Boss."
