Chapter 424
“You're old! You must admit it!” Ysabelle replied. Felix was thirty, while she was only nineteen. Compared to her, he was indeed old.
Felix was dumbfounded by those words.
Meanwhile, Charles, who was gloating over his discomfiture, could not help but laugh. “Felix, you are old. There's no escaping reality; you have to accept it!”
“Have you forgotten about the fact that we're the same age? If I'm old, it applies to you as well!” Felix grumbled. Is he serious? How dare he laugh at me?
Upon hearing that, Charles fell silent.
Fine! He's no fun.
When the group left Nocturnal, they bumped into Clayton and Willow again. Why do they keep showing up in front of us?
Needless to say, all six of them ignored Clayton and Willow as if they were invisible.
Initially, Clayton wanted to greet them, but he could only remain silent upon seeing their reactions.
If I greet them now, they'll surely disregard me. When that happens, we'll still be the ones who are humiliated.
Since everyone in the group drank alcohol that night, they got drivers to send them back. Just then, Tristan and Sophie entered their car first.
Immediately, Ysabelle wanted to follow them into the vehicle, but Felix grabbed her hand.
“Come with me, okay? You can't keep being the third wheel. Mr. Tristan isn't going to like it,” he said.
Ysabelle was displeased by his remark. He and I are both third wheels!
“Felix, that's Uncle Tristan we're talking about. He won't do anything to me!” As soon as those words fell from her lips, Tristan's car drove off. Her uncle did not bother to wait for her.
Ysabelle was on the verge of crying when she saw that. How could Uncle Tristan do this to me? That's mean! He went overboard!
“Do you see that? He didn't even hesitate!” Felix was thrilled. Mr. Tristan is giving me a chance!
Ysabelle harrumphed in response.
Who cares about that? Next time, I have to make Uncle Tristan look bad in front of Sophie. I must show him I'm not someone he wants to mess with.
Felix opened the car door for her and said, “All right. I'll give you a ride since you seem so pitiful!”
I must be the kindest man alive, considering that I can't bear to watch her suffer!
His words left Ysabelle speechless.
Fine! In that case, I'll just accept his offer.
Once Ysabelle got into the car, Felix followed her, and they left immediately after that.
With that, Charles and Sean were left standing at the roadside on their own. At the sight of those four leaving in pairs, Charles sighed and lamented, “Seeing that they've found partners, it makes me want to be in a relationship as well!”
At his age, it was about time for him to date someone.
“What? It's best if you don't hurt young women,” Sean uttered. It's impossible for him to give up on the ladies!
Charles was left speechless for a moment before he said, “Sean, as I've said before, there's nothing I can do about the fact that ladies swoon over me. There's only one of me. I don't want them to be heartbroken.”
“Nonsense!” Sean was bereft of speech upon hearing Charles' reasoning. “Anyway, you ought to be careful! Don't die on a woman's bed one day.”
Charles was caught off guard by his words.
That's a cruel thing to say, no? No matter what, we're still close like brothers. How could he say such a thing?
Sean ignored him after that.
When the driver got out of the car to open the car door for him, Sean hopped in straightaway. “It's just a word of caution. You can choose to ignore it.”
With that, he told the driver to start driving.
Charles could not help but curse under his breath.
They are all prejudiced against me! What else should I do in the prime of my life if not date someone? I can't possibly start dating only when I'm older and the ladies like me for my money.
