The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 594 Romantic Entanglements

The longer Nico remained quiet, the more disappointed Summer felt.

Treyton immediately chimed in, “A man should have the courage to admit if he likes a woman, Nico. If you don’t answer the question properly tonight, you’ll be the one suffering and regretting it in the future.”“”

That was something Cedrick and Kieran had both experienced before.

“Back then, I, too, failed to notice I had already fallen for Inez long ago,” said Kieran.

When everyone heard that, they laughed, which confounded him.
