As Leo was deep in his thoughts with a frown, Jack broke the silence with a joke. “Vincent, it looks like the older we get, the younger you become.”

Vincent shook his head. “Don’t tease me. I feel ancient. My memory’s shot. Just now, I saw Elysia’s driver, and I swear I’ve seen her somewhere before, but I can’t place it. Guess I really am getting old.”

‘Driver? A girl by Elysia’s side… It must be Yuna. So Vincent doesn’t know Elysia’s real identity, Jack thought and her eyes flicked to Elysia, who gave him a sly smile.

Vincent not remembering Yuna was a good thing to Elysia. It meant fate was on their side, keeping that part of her life a

secret.

Elysia let out a sigh of relief and piped up, “Vincent, you’re still at your best time.”

Leo felt a pang of jealousy. ‘Is she implying we’re old?‘

It wasn’t just him; Jack and Max weren’t happy either. But Vincent? He was laughing so much he couldn’t even close his mouth.

Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Elysia quickly added, “And you all look great, Jack, Leo, and Max.”

Leo muttered under his breath, “That’s better.”

The mood lightened again as they continued chatting. By the end of the meal–two hours later–Vincent and Jack were laughing and joking like old friends. If Leo and Max hadn’t intervened, they might have ended up as brothers–in–arms.
