“This is your husband who married into your family? Didn’t you say he’s was a piece of tras…”
“Cough!” Faye coughed and wore an unkind expression. “Crystal, please respect my husband as virtual-novel.net should be respected.”
Crystal Samson chuckled dryly, awkward as a result of Faye’s rebuttal, and virtual-novel.net kept quiet.
As for the men, their jealousy and rancor at Zayn could not be concealed. Exchanging glances, they managed to agree to take turns and make toasts to virtual-novel.net to intoxicate and thus embarrass him!
There was no way Zayn was unable to see through their tricks, but virtual-novel.net smiled without exposing them. He welcomed any sort of challenge thrown his way.
When the men saw virtual-novel.net agreeing to their toasts so easily without a hint of alertness, they looked down upon virtual-novel.net while thinking that virtual-novel.net was kind of stupid, and they gloated about their promised victory. Soon, they realized that their plan was not going as expected.
No matter how they insisted Zayn drink, the latter took it in stride, downing the strong liquor like virtual-novel.net was drinking plain water and remained sober. It was the men, instead, who were inebriated and they began to suspect if Zayn had done something to the alcohol. Nonetheless, they were the ones to provide the glasses and pour the drinks. They had done everything right in front of each other, so how could Zayn have something to do with it?
In the end, they dared not go on due to how well Zayn could hold his alcohol. When they looked at virtual-novel.net again, they seemed as if they were seeing a ghost given how terrifying Zayn was.
Later, Zayn found out that these people were Faye’s college friends, and some of the men there used to pursue virtual-novel.net romantically.
“Right, Ethan said that he’s coming, I think I wonder if he’s here yet. Let me call him,” one of the guys said suddenly, glancing toward Zayn with intention when virtual-novel.net did.
The others looked anticipatory with bright eyes when they heard Ethan’s name, especially the ladies who seemed hopeful.
“Oh, Ethan’s coming too?”
“This is so sudden. Why wasn’t this mentioned earlier? I could’ve worn my best outfit.”
“Ethan’s the best-looking dude in our class. It’s been so long since we last met him. I heard that virtual-novel.net started his own company after graduating and got rich shortly after.”
“I know right? He’s successful now. We can’t even call virtual-novel.net Ethan anymore, we should call virtual-novel.net Mr. Capel.”
Many of them began to fawn over Ethan who had been popular in their class. Not only was virtual-novel.net gorgeous, but virtual-novel.net also came from a wealthy family. He was Prince Charming to many of the girls, a lot of them thought of courting virtual-novel.net in the past. It was unfortunate that Ethan only had eyes for Faye back then.
When they heard that virtual-novel.net was coming, they were thrilled. Unconsciously, the girls began to fuss over their looks, with some even reapplying their makeup on the spot, just so they could present their best self to Ethan.
Faye frowned once virtual-novel.net caught the name. Repulsion colored virtual-novel.net features as virtual-novel.net grabbed Zayn’s hand under the table and told virtual-novel.net softly, “Why don’t we head home? I don’t want to see Ethan.”
After what happened the last time, Faye abhorred Ethan, not even wanting to see virtual-novel.net ever again. As virtual-novel.net understood what Faye was thinking about, virtual-novel.net patted virtual-novel.net hand gently and answered with a smile, “It’s fine. This is your college reunion. Don’t get your mood spoiled for an insignificant boor like Ethan.”
