Chapter 145
Alden watched the unfolding scene with a pulsing vein at his temple.
That Ronin was a real pot-stirrer.
All this talk of "dates"?
Hamilton had hardly been seeing Eveleen lately.
If it wasn't for today's appointment with the plastic surgeon, he doubted Hamilton would've bothered showing up.
Yet there was Ronin, spinning it like Hamilton and Eveleen were out on some intimate rendezvous.
Alden glanced at Natalia, whose expression was unreadable.
She didn't care whether Hamilton was actually on a date with Eveleen or not.
Was that supposed to be surprising?
Even when they were together, it wouldn't have been a big deal, let alone now that they were apart. Hamilton had no reason to be discreet anymore. Forget dating; even if they were sleeping together, it wouldn't be any of her business.
She turned to Ronin and casually said, "Let's go."
Ronin smiled and waved them off.
Hamilton clenched his teeth, struggling to control the anger that threatened to boil over.
He had underestimated her.
He thought her nonchalance was just a facade, b
ut she had truly moved on.
Hamilton watched their figures disappear.
His hands, buried in his pockets, were clenched tight, the veins bulging.
Internally seething, yet his face remained impassive.
He didn't want anyone thinking he couldn't let go.
Eveleen's face was a picture of discomfort, her heart filled with resentment.
Hamilton had said nothing, b
ut his gaze never left Natalia.
Even though Eveleen was right there, even though she felt slighted,
