    Chapter 708


    Celeste just washed her hands and went over to the window in the corridor for some fresh air.


    She thought if she had known this ce would be full of strangers, she would have declined Mr.


    Javier’s invitation to begin with.


    Too many strangers, whether eating or drinking, would make things stiff and not fun at all.


    She pulled out her phone and sent a message to Trisha on WhatsApp, “What do you want to eat? I’ll


    bring it home for you”


    A few minutester, Tnsha replied, “I’m out at a party too, just enjoy yourself, don’t worry about me-


    Celeste asked. “Are you with Nics?”


    Trisha sent a speechless emoji, then replied, “I’m with Dr. Ledford”


    Celesteughed, “Did you two finally get together?”


    Trisha replied, “I just realized how important it is for a man to be a good cook ”


    Celeste thought for a moment, then texted Liam asking if he had eaten.


    Liam was sipping soup when he saw the message and put down his spoon.


    He was going to reply. Tm eating,” but decided to ask Nics first.


    “Celeste asked if I had eaten, what does that mean?


    Nics was in the karaoke room, watching the woman fussing over Jace.


    Nics had a friend getting married in a few days, and they were throwing a bachelor party tonight. He


    was invited


    Nics didn’t n toe at first

    When his friend heard him decline, heughed, “Nics, do you have a new girlfriend? Every time we


    invited you, you nevere. Is your new girlfriend strict?”


    Nics realized he hadn’t been to a gathering in a long time.


    He moved out long ago and lived alone, his ce was always quiet. He liked the noisy environment, so


    he often went out drinking with friends, oftening homete


    But recently, he hadn’t beening home thatte


    Someone was cooking at home, someone to talk to during meals, much better than the drunken noise


    Slowly, he got used to this kind of life


    Nics was rational, so when he realized he was starting to rely on this lifestyle, he tried to change


    So he epted his friend’s invitation. He knew Jace would be there, so he brought Trisha along after


    all, he had promised.


    That’s what he thought.


    But now, watching Trisha fuss over Jace, he felt very ufortable.


    Trisha’s smile at him was perfunctory, but her face was radiant when she looked at Jace


    Nics’s phone vibrated, it was a message from Liam.


    He replied, “Tell her you haven’t eaten all day, y up the pity card”


    Just as he finished replying, a woman in a short skirt with curly hair sat beside him on the sofa with a


    drink, smiling “Want to have a drink together?


    Nics didn’t answer, he looked at Trisha not far away


    She was smiling so brightly that her eyes were curved.


    He took the drink from the woman and drained it in one gulp


    The babe smiled, sidled up to him, and asked in a flirty whisper. “Can we go upstairs?”


    Nics knew this was a tant sexual advance


    He reached out, pulled Trisha into his arms, then turned to the babe and smiled at her, “Sorry, I’m


    already taken.”


    Trisha’s eyes widened, “Naggy Nics, you… mmphi


    Nics leaned down and stopped her mid–sentence with a kiss.
