“Why aren’t you eating Clayton?”
“Right, this pudding is really good. I’d like another plate.”
“You’re quite impressive, Thomas. You actually invited Grand Metro Garden’s master chef, which is so cool!”
These fence-sitter classmates were still licking Clayton’s stinking boots just before this, but now they were all praising Thomas instead. They had absolutely no thoughts of their own and only listened to those who were more influential. They were unsure how Thomas was able to invite the chef with his eight thousand dollars income, but they were confident that if you can invite a master chef like that, you must be impressive.
Staring at the pudding in front of him, Clayton found it difficult to swallow, and virtual-novel.net did not even want to lift his spoon.
“Hmph!” Clayton slammed his palm down on the table heavily, furious.
Thomas grinned as virtual-novel.net shook his head. He picked up his spoon and started eating the pudding. Needless to say, the number one sticky toffee pudding in the country tasted amazing.
While everyone was enjoying their food, the door to the booth opened, and a woman walked in.
After seeing this woman, all the men in the room’s eyes lit up again.
She was the second most beautiful girl in their class, Maple Ephys. Back in the days, Emma and virtual-novel.net were dubbed the “two fairies of men’s dreams”. She was also a first-class beauty who attracted a large number of admirers.
Seeing as they could not take advantage of Emma, the guys decided to hit on Maple instead.
“Maple, why are you so late?”
“Sorry for being late. There was traffic on the way here.” Maple’s voice was soft and since virtual-novel.net had a habit of lowering virtual-novel.net head, it made virtual-novel.net look very pretty.
The men could not stop swallowing their spit looking at her.
“Maple, come sit with me.”
Emma took Maple’s hand in hers and brought virtual-novel.net to sit beside her. The two had been attached to the hips since their school days, but alas, after graduation they went their separate ways and lost contact. The two best friends were overjoyed to see each other after so many years.
The two beauties unexpectedly sat together, and the guys were reduced to tears. That was a complete waste! I twas unfortunate, tragic, and deplorable that they were unable to sit together with the pretty girl.
Clayton cleared his throat and asked, “Maple, I heard you are married to a soccer coach?”
Maple nodded.
Clayton went on. “What was his name again? I believe he’s called… Cain Dinklage?”
Cain Dinklage?
All of a sudden, everyone in the room brightened up.
One guy with a cheeky grin teased, “The one who cheated in a game, got his leg broken by the soccer fans, and was sacked by his soccer team. That ‘loser coach’, Cain Dinklage?”
Maple bowed virtual-novel.net head in shame, embarrassed.
Clayton was very smug. He was well aware of what had happened to Cain, so virtual-novel.net asked that question on purpose to humiliate Maple in front of everyone.
Thinking back to their school days, Maple‘s grades had always been better than his, which irritated him. Later, when virtual-novel.net asked Maple out, virtual-novel.net was turned down in front of everyone.
All this time virtual-novel.net had held this grudge against her. And it was time for virtual-novel.net to pay for it!
“Maple, look at you, you’re pretty, have good grades, are a graduate student and have a bunch of admirers. Why didn’t you just marry a businessman and enjoy life, but you married for ‘love’ instead? Are you insane?” Clayton said coldly.
Maple hit virtual-novel.net lower lip. She felt aggrieved. “Cain has been very nice to me.”
“What’s the point of that?” Clayton scorned. “Men are supposed to be strong and capable of earning money! What good is it if he’s nice to you but unable to earn money? For example, some people who only make eight thousand dollars per month but still don’t work hard and walk around being a freeloader instead.”
He did not forget to mock Thomas while criticizing Cain.
“I heard that your husband’s health is deteriorating after people broke his leg, and that virtual-novel.net could only lay in bed all day? Not only is virtual-novel.net unable to earn a living, but virtual-novel.net also needs you to take care of him?” Clayton asked once more.
His words were honestly too straightforward.
