Charles walked quickly to Phoebe and looked deeply at Phoebe. "Phoebe, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to remember me."
Phoebe was a little embarrassed by his stare. Her face reddened slightly. She dodged Charles's gaze and nodded with a smile.
Tom noticed Phoebe's strange behavior and his thoughts fluctuated. Did Phoebe and this man named Charles have an unknown past?
To be honest, Tom was a little uncomfortable. No man wanted his wife to have anything to do with other men.
However, he did not immediately stand up to be jealous and fight for Phoebe's favor. Tonight was Phoebe's classmates' reunion, so he still had to respect Phoebe.
He observed Charles secretly and was sure that Charles was a successful man with a bit of wealth. This could be seen from the confidence Charles showed and the awe others had for Charles when he was surrounded by so many people.
Quentin said, "Charles, you're just in time. You're our class monitor. You can judge the right from wrong. Phoebe's husband drove blindly and hit my BMW. Is it all his fault?"
Charles was acutely aware of the key words in Quentin's words, and his expression immediately changed. He said in a daze, "Phoebe, are you married?!"
Phoebe did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while before saying, "Yes."
Charles's expression changed several times when Phoebe admitted it.
To be honest, he had gone through so much trouble to organize the classmates' reunion this time. Besides coming back to show off to his former classmates, there was also a big reason for him to do so. That was he wanted to use this opportunity to take Phoebe down!
A while ago, he saw a recent photo of Phoebe from a female classmate. He was shocked and had this idea at that time.
But he didn't expect that Phoebe was married. This made him feel bad for a while!
He tried to control his expression so as not to lose his composure. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Phoebe, are you kidding? You said you would not get married until you were 26 years old. You're only 25 this year. Hehe."
Phoebe sighed and said, "I've been married for four years."
The corner of Charles's mouth twitched violently and he braced himself. "No way? What about your husband? Why didn't I see him?"
There was already some emotion in his words.
Tom stood up at the right time, reached out to Charles and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Tom. Phoebe's husband."
All of a sudden, Charles and the others all looked at Tom. When they saw Tom wearing crumpled clothes and some places of his clothes were obviously dirty which indicated that his clothes were all cheap, they were stunned.
This man, who looked ordinary and unattractive, would be the husband of Phoebe, the most beautiful girl in the class? No one would doubt if one said that he was a waiter? Why did they all think it was a joke?
Charles thought the same thing. He stared at Tom and looked up and down. He thought that Tom was just an ordinary person. Mr. Howard had absolutely no money. How could such a man be worthy of Phoebe?
Moreover, as an old classmate in the past, he knew it vey well that Phoebe's taste was very high. He knew very well that the person who could marry Phoebe must be an elite.
