Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

I faked my surprise as I stepped up and waved at Harry warmly. Harry's body tensed up a little when he saw me, but I turned a blind eye to it.

I gave him a small hug, just like how I usually would when I was young, before tactfully standing back behind Nicholas. My actions were smooth and flawless, while my gaze was pure and innocent.

It was almost as if Pete and I were purely friends like there was nothing more than friendship between us.

When I grabbed Nicholas' arm and looked at him, I realized the amusement on his expression had faded as he looked at me coldly.

His gaze was cunning and collected like a poisonous snake, hiding all his emotions behind.

I smiled at him and said, "Harry has always treated me well since I was young. Why don't we treat Harry to a meal? Is that alright with you?"

Nicholas looked at me coldly, no longer hiding his dissatisfaction. At that moment, his gaze felt like a sharp knife stabbing into my body.

Silas noticed that there was something wrong between Nicholas and I. So, he chimed in and said, "Mr. Shelman and I have just finished our discussion. Since that's the case, then I won't disturb your small reunion." "Honey, could you take care of Harry for me? I'll walk Mr. Harmon out on Harry's behalf."
