Chapter 45
At that moment, Gavin looked nothing like the disheveled mun from earlier in the day. Dressed in a sharp suit, he exuded confidence and charisma, his demeanor full of vitality
Beside him, Mandy looked even more radiant, and as the two exchanged glances and chatted, there was an indescribable sense of harmony between them
“I heard that Gavin ran off from his wedding because of Mandy. They’re probably getting a dimere. ”
“Theard they’re already divorced.”
“I heard the same. Gavin didn’t even attend the wedding, and his mother–in–law was so far she alroost fainted.……”
“That poor bride
I stood to the side, listening to the hushed whispers around me, feeling disoriented. It hadn’t been that long since the wedding day, yet it felt like it happened in another lifetime.
He chatted with someone while Mandy entertained the crowd. Although she was a popular movie star, she didn’t hold much status in a place like Harvest Pation, but with Gastn by her side, no one dared make things difficult for her.
“Do you know why I brought you here today?”
Just then, Tom lowered his voice and whispered in my ear
Instinctively turned toward him and immediately realized how close we were so close that could see my own reflection in his eyes
“Why?” I stepped back a little, instinctively creating some space.
He smiled and took my hand, his gaze dark and intense
e with me

I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but as I watched him lead me toward Gavin and Mandy, my heart tightened, and my back stiffened.
“Well, well Looks like you’re in the middle of a conversation.” Tom’s casual voice interrupted the exchange.
In this setting, he seemed perfectly at ease, his expression a mix of casual indifference and an underlying authority. It was so subtle that no one could detect his true feelings.
“Mr. White, we didn’t expect to see you here.” The man who had been talking to Gavin greeted Tom warmly “It’s been a long time.
Tom smiled lightly. “I just returned from the military”
“Theard you’ve been working on military tech research recently, Mr. White..”
As they continued talking, I smiled politely, standing to the side.
Gavin’s gaze, however, was fixed on me, his eyes burning with intensity as if he were trying to scorch me with his stare.
Mandy hadn’t expected to see me here. Her eyes shifted back and forth between me and Tom before landing on the hand he was holding
She narrowed her eyes slightly, instinctively gripping Gavin’s arm tighter, her lips curling into a smug smile.
But he abruptly shook off her hand and glared at me. His expression was twisted with rage, his voice sharp and biting “Grace, what are you doing here?”
His voice was nothing like the calm, deep tone I was used to. It sounded cold, sending achill down my spine.
I wasn’t fazed, though. I glanced at Mandy, who was awkwardly trying to reach for his arm again, and sneered “Why can’t I be here when you both are? Gavin’s brow furrowed deeper, his anger palpable. He moved as though to grab may wrist. “You’re coming with me!”
u still acting like you have any say
But before he could touch me, Tom stepped before me, blocking his path. “Gavin, what are you doing? You’re already divorced, so why are you! here
His words shocked everyone who had been observing us
What was going on? Divorced?
Could it be that Tom’s companion today was actually Gavin’s ex–wife?
That would mean Mandy was Gavin’s current girlfriend.
The ex–husband and the current boyfriend… were both the twin stars from Fuvine University?
