“Gosh, I thought it was something serious. So Nella’s just keeping a lover. You have Zoey too, don’t you? It’s nothing. At our level, who doesn’t have a lover? What’s there to be upset about? Nella didn’t stop you from being with Zoey back then.”

Everyone was stunned.

Alfred’s hand froze mid-drink.

His alcohol-reddened eyes locked onto Jesse, making Jesse extremely uncomfortable.

“Uh… Alfred, why are you looking at me like that?”

“You think Zoey is a lover I keep?”

“Huh? Isn’t she?”

Jesse scratched his head and asked honestly.

“I thought you were supporting her under the excuse of being a sister, Otherwise, I’ve never seen you treat Camelia the way you treat Zoey.”

Jesse spoke his thoughts plainly.

Did I get it wrong?

No way.

Who acts that close with their own sister?

But seeing Alfred’s expression grow uglier by the second, Jesse realized he’d messed up badly.

He kept scratching his head.

His scalp tingled. Maybe he was finally growing a brain.

“Uh… is this something I’m not allowed to say?”

Mason looked at Jesse, this iron-clad idiot, with a face full of complicated emotions.

Back then, Jesse had been the one who never questioned Alfred and Zoey crossing boundaries.

At first, Mason thought it was because Jesse had known Zoey longer, and Nella had come later.

He thought Jesse sided with Zoey out of closeness, ignoring Nella.

But now he realized that wasn’t it.

Jesse was just genuinely stupid.

He simply believed that people at their level keeping lovers was normal.

Ryan patted Jesse on the shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look.

Lowering his voice, he leaned over and whispered, “Everyone thinks it. You’re just the one who said it out loud. What do you think happens to Alfred’s pride now?”

“But Alfred’s always been so open about it. I thought he didn’t care what Nella thought.”

Jesse felt completely innocent.

“Don’t people always say it starts as friends, then something like a sister, and finally turns into a lover? You’re just one step away.”

Ryan facepalmed himself.

Do you think you’re whispering quietly enough that Alfred can’t hear you?

You idiot.

No wonder he can’t tell that Danielle only wants his money and still calls her babe.

Alfred listened as the two of them casually discussed his relationship with Zoey.

Do they really think I can’t hear them, or are they treating me as if I’m dead?

Friend, then sister, then lover?

When Alfred heard that, his whole expression twisted.

I’ve only been … a little indulgent with Zoey.

Those things I’ve done, which I think were harmless, were repayment for Zoey saving me back then. Why does everyone think my relationship with Zoey is inappropriate?

My mother and my life far outweigh whatever I’ve done to repay Zoey!

So is that why Nella never believed Zoey and me were innocent?

For a moment, Alfred didn’t know what to say.

Nor did he know how to express his frustration and dissatisfaction.

All he felt was a sense of helpless injustice, with nowhere to plead his case.

Everyone around him believed he had special feelings for Zoey.

After a long while, he finally clenched his teeth and spoke,
