After hanging up the phone, Thomas returned to his seat. At this very moment, he was surrounded byvarious pretty women. Chloe was sitting on his left, and Molly on his right; there was also Zoe, sittingacross from him while staring at him longingly with her mesmerizing eyes.
All at once, this table became the focus of the entire hotel. Any of these three women had the presenceof a campus belle and was 100 percent sure to turn heads on the streets. Furthermore, the three ofthem were now sitting at the same table!
Above all, Lester’s best men kept pestering him, their eyes green with desire. One of them complained,“Hey, Lester, you’re not caring about us.”
Lester was startled. “How am I not caring about you guys?”
“You’ve found happiness, but what about us? We’re all still single.”
Lester couldn’t help but smile wryly. “Then what’s the point of you all pestering me? Just go find a babeif you’re single! I’m not a babe.”
“You’ve got babes here! Just introduce us to them.”
Another man chimed in, “That’s right! I just took a closer look around and found that you’re quitepopular among people. There are quite a lot of pretty ladies here.”
“Just introduce us to the ladies at that table. I’ve fallen in love, you know.”
Looking in the direction his buddies pointed, Lester saw Thomas’ table. “Look, guys, it’s not that I wantto burst your bubble, but you guys had better look elsewhere. You want to court the ladies at that table?No way.”
“Oh, come on, Lester! How could you discourage us like that?”
“That’s right! We’re bachelors, and we’re about the same age as those ladies. Why can’t we make amove on them?”
Lester laughed. “Fine, let me tell you guys something now before I get drunk so that you all won’t makeany trouble. See the lady sitting alone over there? That’s my boss Zoe Ginger, the owner of TwilightBar. Do you all know how many wealthy dandies in Irieson are courting her? But she ignores all ofthem, let alone you guys,” he explained. “Also, the lady over there is my wife’s bestie, an urban white-collar lady working at Keyshire Property. The last one over there who’s wearing a princess dress isChloe Hahn. She’s the more ordinary one among them.”

“Well…” The few men turned oshen os if they hod been orphoned. Looking ot Thomos’ ruggedfeotures, they felt o pong of depression. Why? We’re oll the some oge. Why con he be o person ofstonding who drives o luxury cor ond hos pretty bobes in his orms, whereos people like us don’t evenhove the right to court the lodies we love? Thot’s too wide o gop between different people!
Thomos ote just o little ot the wedding os o token gesture. He reolly hod little oppetite for food, his mindpreoccupied with the upcoming fight ogoinst the Six Greotest Fomilies of Irieson.
“Thomos, con you come home for dinner tonight? It’s been o long time since you’ve hod dinner withme,” osked Chloe, her eyes blinking.
Thomos ogreed with o nod, “Sure, I’ll go bock tonight.”
As luck would hove it, their conversotion wos overheord by Molly next to them. She thus mode up hermind to olso go to Chloe’s ploce tonight. I hove to brozen it out! If I don’t toke the initiotive, Thomos willbecome Miss Peorson’s boyfriend! She looked ot Thomos, then ot Chloe. A glimmer of hope rose upwithin her. Who is to soy thot I hove no edge over Miss Peorson? My strength is thot I hove Chloe’ssupport! Didn’t she keep trying to set me up with Thomos before? With her help, I moy not necessorilylose! Thot’s right, I hove to use this to my odvontoge! “Chloe, con you go to the restroom with me?” shesoid, putting her thoughts into oction.
Lester’s best men threw a wistful look at Zoe. It can’t be helped. Just as Lester said, she doesn’t evengive a damn about those rich and famous dudes, let alone us. As for Molly, we can’t hit on her either
now that Lester’s wife has spoken up. “We’ll settle on that ordinary Chloe, then. Come on, guys! Let’sbring out the best in each of us. Whoever wins her heart will have her!”
As soon as the words were spoken, several hot-blooded young men were about to dash forward.
Lester almost cried as he hurriedly stopped his buddies. “Do you guys have a death wish? It’s true thatChloe is ordinary, but did you see the man sitting next to her? That’s her brother, a bigwig who drives aMaserati and is capable of great things! Even our boss has to beg him for favors. Do you all still want tocourt Chloe now?”
“Well…” The few men turned ashen as if they had been orphaned. Looking at Thomas’ ruggedfeatures, they felt a pang of depression. Why? We’re all the same age. Why can he be a person ofstanding who drives a luxury car and has pretty babes in his arms, whereas people like us don’t evenhave the right to court the ladies we love? That’s too wide a gap between different people!
Thomas ate just a little at the wedding as a token gesture. He really had little appetite for food, his mindpreoccupied with the upcoming fight against the Six Greatest Families of Irieson.
“Thomas, can you come home for dinner tonight? It’s been a long time since you’ve had dinner withme,” asked Chloe, her eyes blinking.
Thomas agreed with a nod, “Sure, I’ll go back tonight.”
As luck would have it, their conversation was overheard by Molly next to them. She thus made up hermind to also go to Chloe’s place tonight. I have to brazen it out! If I don’t take the initiative, Thomas willbecome Miss Pearson’s boyfriend! She looked at Thomas, then at Chloe. A glimmer of hope rose upwithin her. Who is to say that I have no edge over Miss Pearson? My strength is that I have Chloe’ssupport! Didn’t she keep trying to set me up with Thomas before? With her help, I may not necessarily
lose! That’s right, I have to use this to my advantage! “Chloe, can you go to the restroom with me?” shesaid, putting her thoughts into action.
“Okay!”
The moment they entered the restroom, Molly came straight to the point, saying, “Chloe, I’m in lovewith Thomas. You have to help me.”
Chloe was stunned. “Huh?”
“Didn’t you try to set us up before? You also wish to see Thomas and me together, right?”
I did try to set you up with Thomas before, but that was because I thought I was dying! But things aredifferent now. Now that I’ve recovered, I’m not gonna give him away anymore. But how am I supposedto tell her right now? Tell her that I’m also in love with Thomas? No way! That’ll be super awkward!“Well then… How can I help you?” asked Chloe weakly.
“It’s simple! Just tell me your home address, and I’ll be there tonight. Don’t worry, as long as you’rewilling to help, I’ll take the initiative to talk to Thomas.”
“Uh… Okay…” Chloe had no choice but to give Molly her home address before returning to her seatwith a heavy heart.
The wedding dinner didn’t end until 3.00PM. After saying goodbye to the three ladies, Thomas droveback to Keyshire Property.
No sooner had he entered the office than he saw Olivia stand up at her desk and look at him withexcitement written all over her face. “Thomas, you’re back at last!” They had only been separated for afew hours, but it felt longer than a century for her. At this very moment, she didn’t want to be parted
from him even for a second; she wished she were a part of his body. She couldn’t help feelingincomplete in his absence, as though this man had become a part of her body.
“Uh-huh.” Thomas nodded.
Now that Thomas was back, Olivia had the enthusiasm for work again. She started getting busy again,saying, “You sit here, then. I’m going to a meeting.”
At 7.30PM, Thomas looked at Olivia, who was still handling documents. He said, “Come on, let’s gohome for dinner.”
“Go home?”
Thomas replied, “Yeah, we’re going to my previous home where my sister is staying.” He dared notleave Olivia alone in Northpine Villa. God knows if some hitmen will lay a hand on her while I’m absent.I’d better take her along just in case.
“Huh?” Olivia’s eyes widened. What does he mean by this?
