Iris Yates lowered her eyes. ’She was cursing him out internally,’ but she had to keep playing along on the outside.
In the audience, Iris’s mom and dad were already moved beyond words, thinking what a wonderful son-in-law they had.
Iris had such good taste, finding someone who loved her on her very first marriage!
Chloe Reed sat down next to Walker Grant. Watching the scene unfold, her eyelashes fluttered. "Is Nathaniel Monroe in love with Iris?" she asked.
She looked at Walker Grant. As Nathaniel’s best friend, he had to know something.
Although she had verbally reassured Iris, her heart was filled with doubt.
Nathaniel Monroe’s behavior didn’t seem like an act at all. On the contrary, it seemed like he had genuinely caught feelings.
Walker Grant handed her a glass of juice. "Thirsty?"
Chloe Reed looked at him. "Is he or isn’t he?"
"Take a guess."
"..."
Chloe Reed shot him a look, in no mood for his silly games.
But in her heart, she was almost certain her guess was correct: Nathaniel Monroe was in love with Iris.
A complex look entered her eyes.
Nathaniel Monroe was helping Iris, protecting her.
His intentions were good.
But things always had a way of spiraling out of control.
’If William Quinn never shows up, if he forgets about Iris, then what will Nathaniel choose to do in two years when Iris asks for a divorce?’
’Is he that confident he can make Iris fall for him in two years, so she’d stop talking about divorce?’
Chloe Reed watched them walk onto the stage and stand in the spotlight, the center of everyone’s attention.
Suddenly, her hand was grasped. She turned to see Walker Grant gazing at her. "He’s very brave, isn’t he?"
