The Night I Let Go novel Chapter 33

Wendy frowned and asked coldly, "Client? What job do you have?"

"Wait. Seriously? Didn't you say that Zachary's your husband? How can you not know what he does for a living?" Ellen chimed in.

She even added mischievously, "Poor Zac. No wonder you needed me as your best friend! But don't worry. I won't be like your wife. I'll even take good care of you!"

Wendy lost her temper. "That's enough, Ellen! I'm talking to my husband! What does that have to do with you?"

"I'm talking to my best friend. How does that concern you?" Ellen rolled her eyes at Wendy.

Then, she shifted her attention to Ethan and teased, "Ethan, are you even a man? Wendy is furious right now! Aren't you going to calm her down?"

Ethan was struck speechless. His face showed a trace of awkwardness.

After hesitating, he said softly, "Wendy, let it go. Everyone's watching. If there's something to discuss, let's do it privately."

Ellen smirked and gave Ethan a thumbs-up. "See? Ethan's got a good sense of things. He knows that it's unwise to air grievances in public. Wendy, you should learn from him."

Ethan frowned, unsure if Ellen was complimenting or mocking him.

Wendy suppressed her anger and fell silent. Perhaps she had realized that if she were to continue, it would only turn into a public spectacle.

"Alright, alright. We all used to be classmates here! It's been a while since we've met up. How about we just enjoy the night?" Joseph interjected again to ease the atmosphere.

This time, Wendy didn't respond angrily. Ethan also held himself back and barely interacted with Wendy for the rest of the meal.

The other classmates gradually relaxed and began to talk about their work and marriage. As they shared their complaints and successes, the atmosphere grew lively again.

When the meal ended, a few tipsy classmates started clamoring to go for a karaoke session. Joseph's heart skipped a beat as he uneasily glanced at Wendy and Ellen.
