Noticing Jeffrey’s irritation, Stanley lowered his voice. “Stop it. Don’t you see he’s upset?”

“He needs my help, so he won’t do anything to me,” Riley said calmly.

Stanley fell silent.

Jeffrey glanced at Riley, suppressing the mixed feelings stirring inside him.

After dinner, Riley, bored, couldn’t resist gossiping. “Why did he divorce Rebecca? Didn’t he love her like crazy? I thought they’d be together until the end of their lives.”

“You’re far too optimistic about marriage,” Stanley muttered, his lips twitching.

“It doesn’t matter,” Riley said lazily, leaning back in her chair and tilting her chin toward Jeffrey. “I just want to know what really happened between them.”

“Why don’t you just Google it?” Stanley regretted joining the conversation. He found that even after all these years, Riley was still annoying. “Why do you have to make him angry?”

“I can’t,” Riley replied with a straight face.

Stanley was stunned and instinctively looked at Jeffrey, assuming he had set some strange rule for Riley.

Stanley tried to leave. He really didn’t want to be with these two weirdos. “I just remembered I have something to take care of at home. I’ll leave you alone.”

He rose to walk away, only to feel a tug on his clothes. He turned and saw Jeffrey holding onto his jacket.

He looked up and saw Jeffrey’s composed expression. Having no other choice, he said, “Whatever. I haven’t seen Riley in ages. I guess I’ll stay a bit longer.”

Riley glanced at both of them, her eyes brimming with disdain.
