Good gracious! This was the ultimate battleground!
“Who said we’re divorced? Gun gritted his teeth and hissed.
Tom raised an eyebrow, nodding toward Mandy standing nearby “Isn’t your current partner right here? Why are you still pretending otherwise?”
“Tom, don’t talk nonsense!” Gain roughly pulled his arm away from Mandy and struggled to control his fury. “Grace is my wife! I have nothing to do with Mandy!”
“Nothing to do with her?” Tom chuckled coldly “Do you believe that yourself?

He paused for a moment, his lips curling slightly. “They should act as though they’re dead.”
“We’re not “Before Gavin could finish his sentence, Mandy suddenly grabbed his arm, speaking in her usual bold tone, “Enough, Gavin. Everyone’s watching. Don’t make a
She forcefully pulled him to a quieter comer while scolding him, “Don’t embarrass yourself in a place like this. Tom is a shameless playboy, you still have to maintain the reputation of the Gould fam
As she dragged him away, a cold smile appeared on my lips.

My heart fluttered slightly, but before I could examine it further, he casually returned to his usual relaxed demeanor, smiling and pinching my nose. “Feeling better now?”

“Huh?” I koked at him, puzzled, not entirely understanding what he meant.
Tom, however, furrowed his brow and kicked him lightly. “What nonsense are you spouting? Go somewhere else If you’re just here to gossip!”
Greg dodged the kick with a laugh, clearly familiar with Tom.
I joined in the laughter, but just then, I felt a sharp, cuting gaze slice through the crowd and land on mt…
Tinstinctively looked up, only to meet a pair of eyes brimming with hostility—it was Mandy.
