Wyatt entered after knocking on the door, only to see Jeremiah banding Yvette a tissue. He was shocked by the scene.

Jeremiah was known for his aloofness with women, and in Betrico, many socialites admired him from afar. During his time. in Betrico, Wyatt had never heard of Jeremiah being involved with any young women, so he was curious about Yvette’s background.

Yvette was indeed striking, but her casual demeanor suggested she wasn’t from a prestigious family.

Wyatt quickly put aside his curiosity about Yvette. Regardless of who she was, it wasn’t his place to inquire.

Besides Andrew, everyone else present appeared to be ordinary people, and they seemned quite young.

As soon as Wyatt entered. Tobias stared at him in shock. When he finally regained his senses, he stood up abruptly, banging his knee against the edge of the table, wincing in pain. John and the other jumped at Tobias‘ reaction, looking at him in confusion. Even Yvette glanced over.

“Mr. Langford!” Tobias asked, visibly astonished.

Wyatt, looking warm and friendly, seemed a world away from his earlier demeanor with Zachary and Rebecca. Jeremiah, what a coincidence running into you here.”

Jeremiah, still looking at Yvette, casually replied, “Yes, I’m here having dinner with friends.”

Andrew, with a grin, asked, “Mr. Langford, you’re not following us, are you?”

Wyatt quickly denied it, his tone anxious, afraid of being mistaken for a stalker. “No, absolutely not. This restaurant is owned by my sister–in–law. She’s rarely here, so the place is managed by my wife. I was invited to dinner here to avoid trouble, and running into Jeremiah and you was purely coincidental.

Andrew chuckled. “I was just joking, Mr. Langford, you look so nervous.”

Wyatt was nearly unnerved by Andrew’s comment; the joke wasn’t amusing to him at all.
