Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 654

Chapter 654
Although Dylan said he was going to leave, he did not leave at once.
It was not because of Kevan’s persuasion but rather because Dylan had some tact himself. He had to stand together with Sharon at this time-even if he was only acting.
The ballroom upstairs was not in chaos like they thought it was. The quests remained in their seats, and the waters were bringing the dishes over in an orderly way. There was just a hint of discomfort on everyone’s laces.
Dylan and Kevan walked through the large ballroom to return to their seats.
Xander and Cecilia’s seats were already empty, and Martha’s seat was also empty too. They had gone to accompany Lucas to the hospital. He did not know how Sharon informed everyone of what happened, but as the guests did not leave, he presumed that she did not tell the whole truth.
He did not know if she had told Walter about the divorce issue. He guessed that she did not because she had more tact than him, and she knew to look at the big picture more than he did.

He sat next to her. She did not look too good, and he was in a similar state. They ignored each other and ate their meals in silence.
Due to the huge incident earlier, the people’s interpretation of their expressions was a little different. None of them thought that it was because the couple was not united. Walter even instructed. “Sharon, please visit every table later with Dylan and give them toasts as a form of apology.”
“Alright” Sharon replied emotionlessly.
Dylan glanced at her once before responding in the same way.
Walter had prepared plain water for Dylan and Sharon. It was in a vodka bottle, so no one could tell the difference.
There were many guests today, and there were almost a total of fifty tables. Dylan and Sharon toasted every single table. If they were drinking actual alcohol, they would have gotten drunk even if they had a high tolerance level for alcohol.
Dylan, however, was not grateful for Walter’s consideration. He found a waiter to ask for red wine and threw back glass after glass with the guests.
In the midst of it all some people teased him. “Since when were you such a chicken, Mr. Shields? Your wife is drinking vodka, but you’re drinking wine?
Dylan smiled faintly. “My alcohol tolerance is not as good as hers.”
In the process of toasting, he and Sharon did not communicate. Occasionally, the guests might give them a bit of trouble in the form of making fun of them. They made them drink by trading cups or some other such nonsense. It was only then that their gazes would meet for a short while.
Kevan was busy communicating with his subordinate about the matter of Lana. Alter Dylan and Sharon reached his table, Kevan only put down his phone and looked up.
The couple had already gone through almost every table. This table was the second last one.
