Chapter 2517
Norman wondered. “Why so?”
“I once heard a story about a man who married a young and beautiful wife. The man was obsessed with keeping up an appearance, so he often brought his wife out to social events in order to get showered with the public’s praises. Thus, wherever he went, his wife would also be there. However, as time passed, his wife met a man who treated her more gently and looked more handsome than her husband, so she betrayed her and cheated on him with that man in the end.”
Norman spurted out the wine that he had just drunk when he heard the plot twist and got caught off guard.
Colton quickly picked up the napkin and blocked the wine stream.
Norman’s eyes widened as if he was extremely taken aback.
Leia and Freyja could not help but laugh out loud.
After that, Norman did not dare to cause any more trouble, and he stayed very absent–minded throughout the whole meal as if the story that Colton had told would happen to his parents.
‘I must preach this to my father when I get back home.”
Freyja approached Colton and whispered in his ear, “You really know how to make up stories.”
He looked over and raised his brows. “My wife has the talent for creating stories, so why can’t I have the same talent too?”
While they were eating, Colton got up and went to the restroom. When he came to the corner of the corridor, a red–haired woman bumped into him, and his phone dropped to the ground.
The red–haired woman instantly picked it up for him and returned it to him with a pitiful expression. “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean it.”
“It’s okay.” Colton was in a good mood today, so he did not make things difficult for her. He took his phone back from her and went straight to the bathroom.
Looking at Colton, who was leaving her immediately, the corners of the red–haired woman’s lips curled slightly upward. She grabbed the wallet that she picked out from his pocket triumphantly and hurried away.
Colton came out of the bathroom and returned to the table. After the four of them had finished eating, he wanted to pay the bill and reached for his pocket–that was when he realized that it was empty.
Freyja felt helpless. “I told you that the meal is on me. You don’t have to pay.”
“No.” Colton stood up abruptly. “My wallet is gone.”
