Divorce Time

Chapter 130

The place was practically deserted when Connie was about to speak, but suddenly, a burst of conversation

echoed from the side.

“Dalton, are you… interested in Thorne’s girlfriend?”

“Interested might be stretching it, but… she’s definitely intriguing.”

Charlene and Connie froze in place.

“It turned out to be Dalton and his buddy.

However, they were facing away from them, with a row of drink coolers mostly blocking their view, so they didn’t notice Charlene and Connie.

“At the auction, I noticed you were quite taken with the graceful lady by Connie’s side. She’s probably still around in the hall, aren’t you going to say hello?”

Charlene hadn’t expected their conversation to suddenly shift to her.

Before Charlene could react, Connie raised an eyebrow, about to drag Charlene over to play matchmaker, when Dalton shook his head, his interest seemingly waned, and said, “Nah.”

Connie paused.

“Huh? What’s up? Suddenly lost interest?”

Dalton replied, “Yeah. That lady is beautiful, sure, but… she seemed too gentle, too quiet, kind of bland, you

know?”

“Man, and you say you’re not into Vesta!”

It was clear that after talking to Vesta, Dalton was more interested in her, leaving his prior interest in the dust

“It’s not that, it’s just-”

Dalton hesitated, and his friend laughed, saying, “I get it, Vesta’s become your new ideal, huh? But that just proves you’re into Vesta, man, hahaha!”

Before Dalton could respond, his friend added, “Honestly though, Vesta’s got that untouchable, ice–queen vibe that’s way more appealing, more of a challenge.”

“Ever since Vesta showed up, lots of guys have been interested, even obsessed. Too bad she’s Thorne’s woman. Gotta admit, Thorne’s got an eye for women.”

Connie’s smile froze, then her face darkened, ready to teach those two a lesson for casually discussing others but Charlene held her back.

Charlene shook her head, calmly saying, “It’s okay.”

She might be seen as plain, as unremarkable.
