"Harley, you bad egg. How can you fool such a lovely girl?"
Harley glanced at Tristen, who laughed and said, "Cindy, don’t take it to heart. I just think Harley is too cunning. He is not worthy of you."
Hearing this, Cindy was flattered and blushed. Looking at Harley, she whispered, "I don't think so."
Harley threw the menu at Tristen. "Order the dishes."
Tristen felt that Harley and Cindy were so lovey-dovey.
Tristen had heard of Cindy. Although he was not familiar with the people in Juanton City, the number of the upper class members were limited. Thus, Tristen knew the James family.
He also knew that Stephen had a cute sister and loved her very much. Tristen's friends, who had seen her several times, said that she was pretty and charming.
Besides, she was from the James family, so they even wanted to marry her.
At that time, Tristen felt that his friends were scoundrels, thinking, "You guys don't deserve her at all. Don't you know that?"
Now Tristen felt Harley was the scoundrel. Harley looked refined but must have played many tricks to pursue Cindy.
Everyone in their circle knew that Stephen cared a lot about his sister. Tristen would like to see how Harley would marry Cindy.
Tristen seemed to be careless and casual, but he was tactful and knew how to treat different people properly.
Since Cindy was Harley's girlfriend, Tristen pleased her and was careful not to annoy Harley. Harley was reserved, and Tristen was talkative.
Tristen knew what Cindy wanted to hear. Most of what he said was about Harley. He kept Cindy in suspense and deliberately glanced at Harley.
"No wonder you refused the beautiful women I introduced to you. You have long been in love with Cindy, but you didn't do anything for so many years. Harley, you're really something."
Harley glanced at the glass in his hand with a glint of gloom in his eyes. "I was not good enough for her at that time."
A couple had to match at every level. He liked Cindy, but he was not powerful or wealthy in those years. Even if he and Cindy had got together, Cindy would have been torn between him and the James family. Harley didn't want Cindy to suffer that.
Tristen had known Harley for many years, but it was the first time Tristen had heard him say something like this. Tristen was stunned for a moment. "I’m not used to seeing you like this."
Harley glanced sideways at him. "Are you full? If so, get out."
Harley couldn’t stand this talkative guy.
