Chapter 523: Someone’s Revenge (1)
What Charlotte Clark did not expect was, not only was she mortified now, but what awaited her was an even more disastrous situation.
For dinner, the loving husband, Bryan Hawkins, prepared plenty of hairy crabs, specifically the ones beloved by his wife from Suntar Lake. He had initially planned to introduce her to other brands, fearing Carolline Ruiz might not be used to it, but eventually only ordered the brand that Carolline loved.
The attendees numbered almost forty. Ten per table, Bryan had reserved two adjoining private rooms, each table adorned with two large plates of plump and exquisite hairy crabs.
As they arrived at the door, the waiter began serving the dishes. So when they reached the door of the private room, all the dishes were already served and steaming hot.
The food was abundant, especially the hairy crabs that made everyone drool with craving.
Although this season was not ideal for having hairy crabs, for the food one likes, there is no distinction between good or bad seasons.
Looking at this, Carolline felt a little terrified, this man, wouldn’t he come across as a tycoon, trying to make everyone jealous, right?
Before dinner, Bryan Hawkins even gave a five-minute speech. It was straightforward: he asked everyone not to misunderstand his relationship with Phoebe Miller, explaining that he and Phoebe were a thing of the past, and belonged to the past. His present and future belong to his wife, Carolline. At the end of the year, they would celebrate and enjoy drinks.
Though it wasn’t a particularly passionate confession, such affirmation left no one questioning things between him and Carolline. This deep affection, surely, wasn’t that unrelated to love?
If all this was loveless, then what would their belief in beautiful and perennial love mean?
