Chapter 663

I hadn’t expected Jared to ask that, so I replied, “Nathan was here recently and took me there.”

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

Yvonne’s big, dark eyes flickered between us. “Is Uncle Nathan here for work?”

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

I didn’t like his sarcastic tone, so I calmly shot back, “Whatever the reason, meeting a kindred spirit in a foreign country is a wonderful thing.”

“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.”

Jared had arranged for a business van and took Yvonne and me to a Mexican restaurant.
