Jared turned his head away, sounding annoyed. “Figures. I knew it was him.”

Jared, almost as if talking just to me, said, “Who knows if he’s here for work or for someone.”

“An opposite–sex confidant? You really call that a true friend?” Jared sneered.

I shot back with a smirk, “Well, that’s nothing compared to you guys and your so–called special female friends.”

Jared went silent in an instant.

“Dad, don’t start fighting with Mom the moment you see her. Did you forget why we’re here?” Yvonne shot Jared a look, raising her brows at him.

Jared gave me a long, meaningful look. “Come on, let’s get some dinner first.”
