Chapter 485: Your Happiness Is the Most Important Thing
"I won’t pry anymore."
"...huh?"
Calix was taken aback when Ryken suddenly threw those words at him. Blinking, he stared at his friend, wondering if his ears played a trick on him.
Didn’t Ryken seem adamant about digging the truth out of him? Calix had already prepared himself not to waver under his friend’s possible interrogation.
"I’m still doubtful," admitted Ryken, feeling there was no need to conceal his thoughts, "But, that’s not necessary. You look happy, genuinely. That’s the most important thing."
Ryken kept his suspicions to himself because pushing his view on Calix would bring more harm than good. He also witnessed something interesting today.
From the first moment that Ryken saw Calix and Leslie outside his door, he had been watching his friend and the lady’s interaction subtly yet closely.
The husband and wife’s body language mirrored one another. Calix cared for Leslie and she returned the same feelings to him.
They seemed to move in sync, a gentle rhythm that was only natural because they were one.
The pair of lovers often had an attentive gaze on each other, including how their eyes softened and their expressions glimmered just by looking at one another.
"I haven’t seen you this happy since you dumped Aria," Ryken continued. Without mincing his words, he brought up his friend’s history with the heiress, "That’s good enough for me."
