Henry was puzzled when he saw a man in a lab coat instead of a waiter entering the room. enter the wrong room?”
Before the man could reply, Gabriel stood up from his seat and greeted him in a muffled voice, “Mr. Bay, you’re here”
Because of Gabriel’s unclear pronunciation, everyone had the shock of their lifetime.
Everyone present stared at Cabriel with their eyes widened in dismay.
They thought. Did Gabriel just call this man Babe?‘
Charlie was sipping his drink. When he heard Gabriel’s greeting, he did a spit take.
Gabriel’s words petrified everyone.
Meanwhile. Henry felt as if he had been struck by y lightning. He wa
Through his gritted teeth, Henry asked with much difficulty, “Babe”
He desperately needed some clarification.

Gabriel
asked innocently, “What’s wrong?”
He was confused when he saw everyone staring at

as if they had seen a ghost.
Nina, proficient in gossiping, approached Gabriel in the blink of an eye. She grabbed his collar and shook it violently. “Gabriel, when did you have a boyfriend! Fuck‘ Why didn’t you tell me about it? Am I not your best friend?”
Gabriel was at a loss for words,
Nina’s words were clearly inconsistent with her expression. Her warils sounded harsh, but she looked super excited
Gabriel asked. “What boyfriend: When did I have a boyfriend?”
Gabriel was still confused
Nina thought that Gabriel was feigning ignorance, so she pinched his cheek, turned his face, and pointed at James. She said, “Here! Didn’t you call him Babe When did you get a boyfriend? You actually hid this from me.”
When Gabriel heard Nina’s words, he was equally shocked. He exclaimed, “Boyfriend?”
Everyone was stunned when they saw Gabriel’s reaction.
They thought, “What’s happening? Why does Gabriel look even more surprised than we do?
To unravel the misunderstanding, James explained calmly, “Hello, everyone. My family name is Bay. Gabriel was calling me Mr. Bay just now.” The misunderstanding had finally been cleared up.
When Neymar, Perry, and Luka heard this, they came to a realization and mumbled, 1 see, Gabriel called him Hay, not Babe
Then, the three kids communicated with each other via telepathy.
Neymar. [That was scary. I really thought Gabriel had a boyfriend. Fortunately, I didn’t say anything embarrassing out loud.]
Perry: It seems like what Abbie said about observing the situation is very useful advice.
Luka: The moment I saw Abbie, I knew that she’s extraordinary.]
The three boys glanced at Abbie and saw lier calmly taking a sip of her drink.
When Albir saw the three boys looking at her, she winked at them and communicated with them via telepathy. You can tell from the start that it’s a misunderstanding. If Gabriel is really married, he’ll have a ring on his land.]
Albie’s Insight enlightened the boys.
They exclaimed internally, Oh my! We actually missed such an important piece of Information.
The three boys were once again in awe of Ablade. From their point of view, Alible was capable,

After learning that it was a misunderstanding, everyone calmed down.
Among them, Henry was the most relieved. He almost lost his cool and cried out loud just now when he heard Gabriel’s greeting. Fortunately, it was just a musunderstanding
He heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Then, he squeezed out a smile and said to Gabriel. I see. Gabriel, you really scared me.”
He then turned around and greeted J
James. “Hello, Mr. Bay. So you’re Cabriel’s friend. Sorry for the misunderstanding just now.”
James replied. “It’s fine. Gabby caused this misunderstanding by mumbling. I hope I’m not intruding on a private party”
indiffer
James appeared indifferent
He had a sense of alienation from others
When Henry heard how James addressed Gabriel, his eyelids twitched.
The way he looked at James changed. Henry now knew that James was the person who had called Gabriel just now.
Although Henry had confirmed with Nina that Gabriel did not have a boyfriend, he was still jealous and insecure to see James calling Gabriel- Gabby
However, Henry did not want to annoy Gabriel by asking about his relationship with James in detail.
Therefore, although he felt uncomfortable, he maintained basic courtesy. He smiled at James and said. “You’re welcome to join us. Gabriel’s friends are my friends. Have a seat.”
James replied. “Okay Thanks”
James did not feel awkward joining them for a meal uninvited.
Scientists like him who were always cooped up in their laboratories and were out of touch with society, were not much better than war machines when it came to understanding and following social norms.
James walked straight to Charlie, who was sitting beside Gabriel, and said. “Hello, Can I sit here?
James immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Everyone was shocked at how blunt James was
Usually, guests who joined the table late would either wait for the host to assign them a seat or sit at any empty seats. Instead of either of these two options, James asked Charlie to give up his seat for him.
Nina was also shocked by James’s actions
This was her first time encountering someone as dense as James.
Nina smirked and thought. This man is unlike me, who is quick to understand the ways of the world. Although I was inexperienced at first, I can now handle all kinds of social settings perfectly.
Nevertheless, she was worried for James After all, Charlie was not as gentle as her. She was worried that Charlie would beat james up for demanding for his rat
Things went quite differently
adly than what Nina expected.
Charlie, who had a bad temper, was neither angry nor felt provoked. He gave up his seat to James readily. He even politely invited James to sit down
James said. “Thank you”
James sat down in Charlie’s seat
is astonished.
She had no idea why Charlie suddenly became so amiable.
Curious, Nina approached Charlie and asked, “Charlie, why are you so polite to him?”
Charlie was speechless that Nima had not figured out who James was. Although James did not formally introduce himself, Charlie thought it was rather obvious. He gave Nina a hint. “Didn’t you hear him say that his family name is Bay?”

ne with that
Nina asked, “What’s wrong
She immediately figured out who James was after she asked the question. She looked at James in surprise and said. “Oh! You’re James Bay!”
Charlie rolled his eyes.
i
He thought. Fortunately, Nina is not undercover or in the intelligence service. Otherwise, she would have spilled everything she knew before the enemy interrogated her.
Gabriel also glared at Nina, slightly flustered. He chided, “Nina, why did you say it out loud? Can’t you see that I’m trying my best to hide his identity?”
Usually, Gabriel would call James by his first name. However, in order to hide James’s identity, Gabriel called him by his family name. Gabriel even purposely muttered James’s name when greeting him just now. In the end, his effort had gone to waste due to Nina.
Gabriel sighed and thought, Nina is really an idiot.”
Charlie could tell what Gabriel thought at a glance. He was amused
Even though Nina was stupid for saying James’s name out loud, Gabriel was not any better for earnestly confirming her speculation
James said, “It’s okay. I have no intention of hiding my identity”
Oliver mumbled, “James Bay?“.
Oliver was deep in thought when he heard this name. Then, he thought of something and looked at James in surprise. He exclaimed. “Mr. Hay, are you the top scientist of Moonhuntland!”
