Chapter 1048
His existence had left people flabbergasted. They couldn’t figure out who the heck this fiancé of hers was.
Particularly considering that this fiancé entered her life after she had just broken up with Lance after dating him for a long time…
Maybe she just wanted to rub it in Lance’s face, and this fiancé didn’t actually exist at all?
Or was he, as the media speculated, just another rich and clueless upstart?
“I knew I’d run into Chloe at Rose and Morrison’s wedding! They were best buds back in school!”
“I would’ve never guessed that Rose and Morrison would end up together. I mean, remember when… Morrison and Mona…”
Chloe looked at the person across from her with a cold gaze that hinted danger. The speaker stopped abruptly.
“Anyway, compared to Mona, Rose and Morrison are a much better match.”
“Hey Chloe, heard you’re getting hitched? Did your husband–to–be come today?”
The question came from a sexy woman with a melodious voice.
She was gorgeous, her makeup flawless. Chloe didn’t know who she was, but women like her could pose a threat to Damon… She worried she might make a move on him. It wasn’t impossible!
Why would she invite trouble?
“He’s a busy man,” Chloe responded with a smile.
“Really? What does he do?”
Chloe didn’t answer, instead taking the glass of water that Dewey handed her.
She smiled at him. Everyone else was drinking alcohol, but he offered her water. It was a testament to his thoughtfulness.
“He had a business engagement today,” she answered nonchalantly.
A business engagement?
People’s expressions shifted subtly.
“Business engagement” usually referred to something you didn’t want to do but needed to for some reason.
People of status, like Morrison or even Dewey, didn’t have business engagements. People sought them out.
But Chloe’s famous fiancé had to attend a business engagement on the day of his future wife’s best friend’s wedding. This suggested that he might not have been of high status.
This made the extravagant wedding gift seem less credible.
A few people exchanged knowing smiles, feeling a bit better, especially the women present.
Who wanted to see another woman doing so much better than themselves?
It was one thing to be successful, but if she also had an extraordinary husband, wouldn’t they die of envy?
The
sexy
woman’s smile grew more charming. “What a pity, I was hoping to meet your mysterious fiancé today.”
Chloe just smiled, not responding.
“That’s okay, we’ll see him at your engagement party. We’ll just have to curb our curiosity for now.”
“Yeah, yeah!”
Everyone agreed. Chloe nodded, her smile merely a polite one.
Cicely sat next to them, occasionally sipping the water that Dewey gave her.
“When are you leaving?”
Dewey asked gently, his voice soft.
“We’re staying here to hang out tomorrow, and we’ll leave the day after,” Cicely replied calmly.
Dewey’s face relaxed. “I was planning on staying too. I’m familiar with R City. Want me to show you around tomorrow?”
“Sure.”
Cicely nodded, agreeing without hesitation.
Chloe glanced at them, then picked up a glass of wine and returned to the private room.
The room was bustling, with only Damon, Seth, and Noah sitting gracefully in their seats, watching Ollie, Ella, and Kane fool around.
Even when Chloe entered, they didn’t react much.
Chloe poured a glass of water and handed it to Damon.
“Here, to sober up a bit,” she said softly.
Damon took the glass and had a sip, placing it back on the table. As he did, he accidentally knocked a phone onto the floor.
Chloe bent down to pick it up. As she held the phone, her chin was suddenly grabbed by a hand, and then a familiar scent enveloped her. His lips pressed against hers.
Her mind buzzed, and the laughter in the room turned into a blur. Her face was as red as a hot iron.
Kissing under the table in front of everyone was even more embarrassing than kissing openly.
She gently pushed Damon away. He let her go, his eyes playful and affectionate.
He straightened up and leaned back against the chair, as if nothing had happened.
Chloe also straightened up, placing the phone aside. Her face betrayed her embarrassment and guilt.
She kept her head down, afraid to meet anyone’s eyes.
Soon, Ella sidled up to her.
“Where’s Cicely… why’s she… taking so long in the bathroom?”
Chloe helped her sit down and said,
“She’s sitting outside with some classmates. Now eat, or your uncle will have a fit.”
“It’s Rose’s wedding today. I’m so happy for her!”
“Being happy doesn’t mean you only drink! Now eat something.”
“I don’t want to… I’ll feel sick.”
Seth took off his napkin and stood up.
“Seth, where are you going?”
Danielle clung to his hand nervously. Seth glanced at her.
His cold gaze sent a chill down Danielle’s spine. She bit her lip in frustration. As soon as her grip loosened, Seth pulled his hand away.
“I need to use the restroom.”
He pushed back his chair and left.
As he opened the door, amidst the noise, he distinctly picked out a certain voice.
