Chapter 10 To Do Something
At eight o’clock in the evening, in a Michelin restaurant, Alma cut the steak and said inadvertently, “Hank, I met Lyra and her boyfriend.”
Hank put down the knife and fork and looked up coldly. “Boyfriend?”
Alma was not frightened by his sudden coldness. She continued in a soft voice, “Yes, I checked. His name is Nore. He is a rich second generation. It is actually nothing, but I really don’t like it. The Jones family once hurt you so badly. How can she, Lyra, deserve a happy life?”
She pretended not to see the look in Hank’s eyes and said in an exaggerated way, “The man named Nore is really good to her. He is so attentive to her. He is afraid that Lyra will be cold, so he gave her his coat.”
The more she said, the darker Hank’s face became, especially when Alma said, ”And it is said that the two of them are still living together.”
With a clang, the tableware was thrown on the table by Hank, and his whole person exuded a cold aura.
Alma realized later, “Hank, did I say something wrong?” After all, this was related to a man’s dignity.
His ex-wife quickly threw herself into another man’s arms after the divorce. This was simply a slap to Hank’s face.
“No_” After a long while, Hank realized that he had overreacted. His expression returned to normal. He coldly said and picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. “I’m done eating. I’ll wait for you.”
“Okay.” Alma smiled and lowered her head to eat. At the same time, she covered up the shrewdness in her eyes.
In the past, Lyra had been so glorious that she was envious of her. After all, this was something that she could not get for several lifetimes.
But now, Lyra was brought down. She simply did not want Lyra to be happy. After dinner, Hank left the restaurant. A valet drove his car over.
He took out his key, walked around the car coldly, and sat in the driver’s seat.
