He thought that being single was fine. He only needed to care about himself, and there was no need to consider anyone else’s feelings. He had thrown himself into his work to numb his feelings.

Seeing Sean in that state, Charles patted him comfortingly on his shoulder. “You look terrible, my friend. You look worse than a sad, lonely, single man.”

I wonder what kind of woman is making him act this way! Isn’t all women the same? Everything is the same once they’ve climbed into bed and the lights are off. Why cause suffering for yourself? No matter who’s the one who gets rejected, life goes on anyway!

Sean threw a glance at Charles.

“You’re getting on my last nerve, Charles.”

Charles did not know what to say in reply to Sean’s warning. He merely nodded sheepishly and pulled his hand away.

“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything anymore!” Charles took a huge gulp of his drink. It’s much easier to lose a liver than to break a heart!

“Sean sure is head over heels in love! A man like that is only ever seen on TV screens!” Ysabelle sighed dramatically. Even those who grew up with him had no idea who the woman was.

He had been waiting for her for so long.

It had already been years.

Yet, there had never once been a woman in his life, not even in his extended circle of friends.

“Yes, he’s very faithful to his love,” Charles agreed. It was very honorable of him. After all, Sean was a renowned lawyer, a man of real talent. For him to dedicate himself so completely to someone was amazing.

“I’m more faithful than he is,” Tristan said softly, reaching out to hold Sophie’s hand.

It had to be Sophie. No one else would do for Tristan.

“Yeah.” Tristan, too, was completely infatuated with Sophie. She was a lucky girl to have met such a man.

“What about me? Aren’t I loyal in love as well? I had waited for you to grow up. What else do you expect from me?” Felix said, feeling rather sorry for himself.

He had always been in love with Ysabelle, but that girl was heartless.
