Chapter 188

Quinn obviously knew Charles would never act like that–after all, he was Charles.

EX 40 voerthers

This guy even handled breakups with women in such a classy, gentle way. If you ever asked him to do something that ruthless, it’d be easier just to put him out of his misery.

Quinn let out a low chuckle and shook his head. “Honestly, Yolanda’s got it pretty good. She might not have your love, but she gets to see you every day and doesn’t have to worry you’ll up and leave. You’ve never actually thought about divorce, right?”

Charles’s lips curled up ever so slightly as he picked up his glass and took a sip.

“Not for now.”

“Charles, I’m your friend, but damn, you can be stone cold,” Quinn said, shaking his head and clicking his tongue. “Can’t really blame these women, though. They fall for your face, fancy last name, and that sweet attitude, and just assume you’re Prince Charming. If only they realized, the softer a guy seems, the more frost he’s packing underneath. Your heart? You could wrap it in sunshine and it’d still never thaw. Honestly, Joelle Monroe’s totally set her sights on you this time.”

Whether Joelle’s got what it takes to melt the ice, well, that’s up to her.

Charles didn’t bite. He just brushed it off–didn’t see the point. A second later, he changed the subject and started talking business with Quinn instead.

After they wrapped up, Charles asked, “So, where’s Leo tonight?”

Quinn couldn’t help but laugh. “Apparently, he’s sick or something. When I called, he sounded totally drained. Just the other day, he told me his tongue hurt because some girl bit him. As if we’d ever buy that. Honestly, if Leo actually ended up making out with a girl, I wouldn’t be surprised if you, Charles, were on your knees begging a woman to stay.”

Charles chuckled too. “Is it serious?”

“Who knows? He just sounded out of it, wouldn’t even come out for drinks. My guess? Xavier probably took away his race cars–otherwise, there’s no way he’d suddenly come down with ‘something.”

After saying that, Quinn went full gossip mode and called up Xavier to see if he knew anything about Leo’s so–called illness.

Xavier sighed and rubbed his brow. “All I did was haul away two of his cars this morning. Seriously? That’s enough to make him ‘sick?‘ Honestly, that kid is ridiculously pampered.”

Quinn thought, ‘Figures. Taking away Leo’s cars is like stealing his wife. No wonder he’s moping around like he’s lovesick.

Just as Quinn was about to hang up, Xavier couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, Quinn, has Leo been hanging out with any girls lately? He’s been acting kind of weird.”

“Nah, not at all. He’s either out drinking with us or holed up at home playing video games. He’s got zero
