Chapter 162

Knowing about Albertine and Lionel’s past fling, the thoughtful organizers purposely separated their seating arrangements.

But they were clueless about the beef between Kieran and Elliot. They thought these two guys were just partners, so they placed them together.

Upon learning that there was no awkwardness between Lionel and Albertine, Daphne began to stress about Julie.

She kept throwing glances in Julie’s direction.

At that moment, Julie was making eye contact with Adeline. The host was delivering the opening speech. There seemed to be some sort of unspoken tension brewing between Kieran and Elliot.

The spat that happened outside earlier didn’t sit well with Daphne. She wanted to ask Lionel to convince the organizers to reseat the four of them, but turned around to find Lionel and Albertine in deep conversation.

And Albertine’s hubby, Mr. Farrell, was attentively listening to the host’s speech.

In the end, Daphne could only look back at Julie, only to find Julie whispering to Adeline.

Maybe she was overthinking.

She was too far to hear what Julie and Adeline were chattering about.

Actually, Adeline was gossiping.

Probably because she was pissed at the rapport between Elliot and Kieran, she said to Julie, “When you remarried Mr. Hernandez, did you ever consider how your first love would feel?”

Adeline’s comment silenced the three people present.

But Adeline acted as if nothing happened, telling Julie, “Doing this will upset my brother, you know!”

“Adeline!” Elliot’s face turned sour. He shot Adeline a look, signaling her to zip it.
