Chapter 47 An Awkward Dinner


    J''s head started to pound. It was hard for her to deal with this matter with ease. Normally, she


    wouldn''t admit that she was married—especially since she had married in Jocelyn''s stead. If people


    knew that she was married, their little secret would be exposed.


    Forcing an apologetic smile, she tried tough it off and said, "I told Chris just now, didn''t I?"


    Ethan snorted but said nothing.


    The atmosphere among the three seemed to be cold as ice. J had no choice but to bite the


    bullet and lead the way into the restaurant.


    After they sat down, Christopher excused himself and went to the bathroom to calm himself down.


    He just couldn''t ept the fact that J was married out of the blue.


    Ever since he had taken his seat, Ethan hadn''t even nced at J. While flipping through the


    menu, J nudged him gently. "Are you mad at me?"


    The man rested his chin on his hand as he skimmed through the menu. His eyes were cloudy, and


    he didn''t even look at her when she tried to talk to him. With a small, stiff smile, he replied, "No.


    Leave me alone."


    Disappointed, J pursed her lips but didn''t say anything more.


    "Did you two order already?" When Christopher returned, he smiled at them politely.

    He could tell that there was some tension between the couple, but he was still flustered and didn''t


    know what to say.


    "Not yet. Chris, is there anything in particr that you want to eat?" J handed him the menu


    with a small smile.


    Throughout the course of the meal, nobody spoke a word. Only J and Christopher would


    asionally make ament, only for the conversation to die shortly after.


    When he was done with his steak, Ethan sank into the back of his chair, giving off a cold aura.


    Just then, Jocelyn and her friends entered the restaurant.


    "Wow... Look over there, Jocelyn. Is he a celebrity?" Jocelyn followed the gaze of her friend and


    found Ethan sitting at a table. He was incredibly handsome, but seemed oblivious to the fact that he


    had be the center of attention.


    "Wait. I know him..." A smug smile appeared on Jocelyn''s face, but then the corners of her mouth


    dropped when she saw that Ethan was apanied by both J and Christopher.


    Two handsome men and a beautiful woman were all seated together. The scene was quite eye -


    catching.


    Jocelyn gritted her teeth with rage.


    She had once tried to flirt with Christopher, but he immediately rejected her. J, on the other


    hand, always seemed to be surrounded by men. She already had Ethan, but now she even had the


    audacity to hook up with Christopher.


    Jocelyn tried tofort herself, telling herself that J was nothing but rubbish. Maybe


    Christopher was with them now because he knew Ethan.


    "Is that so? Introduce us to him! But the gorgeous girl next to him is probably his girlfriend."


    "You should see her without makeup. She''s hideous. You look much better than her. Anyway, I''ll just


    go there and say hi. You guys can order ahead." Before waiting for a response from her friends,


    Jocelyn sauntered over to J''s table.


    J had been threatening her parents, saying that if they didn''t give her money, she would tell


    Ethan the secret of her being a substitute. Yet she had the gall to have dinner at such a high-end


    restaurant.


    Today, Jocelyn was determined to reveal J''s hideous true colors in front of Ethan and


    Christopher.


    J and Christopher were racking their brains for a topic when they suddenly smelled a pungent


    perfume.


    "My dear younger sister, you''ve pushed our parents too far. How could youe to such an


    expensive restaurant for dinner?"


    Batting her eyshes piteously, Jocelyn emerged at their table, tears streaming down her face.


    "Our family is struggling financially, and our parents are bleeding dry. Why can''t you think about our


    family and stop spending so much money? You squander the family funds like this every single day.


    You''re an adult already, but you keep demanding money from our parents.


    Sooner orter, they''ll jump off a building from the pressure!"


    Jocelyn''s voice wasn''t that loud, but she spoke clearly enough for everyone to hear her. She wept


    and whined so incessantly that all the guests in the restaurant nced at their table.


    Then, the hall was filled with hushed whispers.


    "Oh, what a scandal!"


    "How could that girl squander her parents '' money like this? What a parasite! And are those two her


    toy boys?"


    "If I had a daughter like her, I would''ve died from anger already. She even has the audacity to date


    two men at the same time. Young people nowadays really have no shame!"


    Ethan''s handsome face immediately darkened.


    Christopher lowered his gaze helplessly. This dinner was awkward to begin with. Now, he was even


    being ndered.
