Emmett grinned and answered.
"Elaine's best friend. Sure enough, a capable general doesn't have any weak soldiers around him."
"Hazel? Lucas said that he was just screwing with her, didn't he?" Oliver was shocked.
...
Jasper was astonished. He glanced at Lucas, who was excited, and asked in disbelief, "What? Lucas, are you really in love with her?"
Jasper couldn't believe that Lucas would actually fall in love with someone, because the he was a well-known playboy.
Lucas pulled a long face as he roared angrily.
"I don't love her! I don't love anyone! I'm just screwing with her!"
Lucas said excitedly, while Emmett laughed secretly.
Lucas refused to admit it even now.
Since he didn't admit that he loved Hazel, he should not break down or drink down because of her.
"Why should I love her? What does she have? Does she have peerless beauty, extraordinary intelligence, or intoxicating tenderness? She has none of these!"
"Why should I fall in love with such a woman?"
Oliver grinned and shook his head.
"Lucas, you look like you are in love with her. If you don't love her, why are you so angry?"
Jasper was also amused. He gently caressed Oliver's head and laughed softly, "Oliver, you speak so straightforwardly."
Lucas froze blankly for a few seconds, and then stammered.
"I, I was ... She dared to fool me! She's just a little girl. How dare she fool me? She has the nerve to fool around with other men behind my back! How dare she?!"
Emmett gently looked up at Lucas with his charming eyes and said slowly.
"Since she is faithless, break up with her. Lucas, you should just forget about her and never talk to her for the rest of your life. Don't let her get to you. She is not worth it."
Even Oliver could realize that what Emmett said meant its opposite. Emmett was intentionally stimulating Lucas.
Jasper and Oliver nodded heavily in agreement with Emmett.
(⊙_⊙)
Lucas was surprised that they would have the same attitude.
...
He was dumbfounded.
He breathed alcohol and stood there shakily with widened eyes.
"How ... how can you give me bad advice? You are not helping me as my best friends, aren't you? That's too much!"
Jasper pressed his lips and tried not to laugh. He said, "We are helping you as your best friends. We are giving you good advice."
Oliver also wanted to tease Lucas. He grinned and said, "Yes, Lucas, we treat you as our best friend, so we think you should leave her. Since that woman doesn't have any merits, she is not good enough for you at all. She cheated on you and you should not care about her anymore. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Just ignore her. Look around you, there are a lot of good women! You just need to open your eyes wide and choose one!"
Emmett lowered his head and snickered.
Jasper and Oliver simply burst into laughter together.
Lucas was so angry that he stared at the three of them. He gasped and clenched his fists tightly.
"You ... you are getting on my nerves! You deserve to get your teeth kicked in!"
Lucas could not say anything more. He sat down on a sofa, turned his face away, and was sulking.
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other and chuckle.
Emmett's phone rang and he quickly picked it up. He thought it was Elaine calling. When he saw that it was not Elaine but Marina, he immediately put on a long face. His eyes were full of dissatisfaction and disgust. After a while, he unhappily answered the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"Emmett, are you still staying out? The tailor has been waiting for you all night. You have to try on your tuxedo. What if it doesn't fit you? Tomorrow is the engagement party. The butler at home called me to find you. We're looking for you anxiously."
Marina was holding her wedding dress and gently stroked it while talking to Emmett on the phone.
Although Emmett was very indifferent and cold, Marina was still looking forward to their future life.
...
"Let the tailor go back now. There's no need to try on the clothes."
"Why? What if it doesn't fit you? ..."
"That's not important. Whether it fits me or not is not important to me. Alright, I'm hanging up."
...
Emmett hung up the phone.
Marina was frozen for a moment. She put down the phone and sighed.
"If you were going to be engaged to Elaine, you wouldn't be so lazy. You would probably be more attentive than anyone else, and you would get into the detail. Emmett, you are really indifferent."
Marina smiled bitterly and put away the phone. She continued to check her wedding dress.
