Chapter 162: His Wife Was a Different Individual Altogether
Driven by frustration, Calix raised his voice. His chest heaved up and down at an alarming rate, expressing how enraged he was with Xander now.
"Guys... keep it civil, okay?" Davin worriedly looked at his friends, sensing how quickly the temperature dropped in the room, "Xander, you shouldn’t ask Calix something like that ah. And Calix, you know how Xander is, right?"
Davin didn’t know why Calix suddenly erupted due to Xander’s offensive question tonight. He usually bore it while throwing joking replies to ease the tension.
Shaking his head, Calix grabbed a bottle of mineral water. He downed half of it before slamming it back to the coffee table.
"So, who do you think will suit me, oh the great CEO Qin?" asked Calix sarcastically, "Just because I don’t love my wife yet, you’re so eager to get me divorced her. Why?"
"I stand by my words," replied Xander stubbornly, unwilling to admit fault, "Have you forgotten, Calix? Even though it ended terribly, you shone the most when you’re with Aria."
Calix froze. He unconsciously clenched his right hand hard, his nails dug deeper into his palm.
Despite sounding foreign to her, the particular name pricked his heart before blood gushing out through the hollows.
Davin flinched. He didn’t expect that Xander would utter that name just to make his point. He was afraid to see how Calix’s expression changed.
"Hey... this has gone too far," Davin sighed out of frustration. Glaring at the brooding Xander, he spoke up, "Xander, why did you drag Aria into this? Calix’s right. Why can’t you just wish him for the best? You also know how rumors work."
Davin wanted to play neutral but, he didn’t have the heart to do so.
