Chapter 23

ผู้เขียน: Sammie Snow
A cold front had moved through the city recently, and the temperature outside had dropped fast.

Helen and her friends had just flown back from Atalia, where the weather had been warm and sunny. They were still dressed in thin tops and short skirts.

The group waited at the airport for two full hours. By then, they were shivering from the cold, but Lucas was still nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Cruz, who had returned with them, finally couldn’t take it anymore and started complaining.

    Besides, Vivian had given the staff instructions long ago. If Lucas ever came to eat at her restaurant, he wasn’t to be charged.But Lucas insisted on paying.He didn’t want to owe anyone a favor for no reason.In the end, the manager couldn’t argue with him and accepted the payment.When Lucas returned to the private dining room, Kenneth was gone.“Kenneth said something came up at the office, so he left first.”Lucas was speechless.That guy had clearly done it on purpose.Vivian patted the seat beside her, signaling for him to sit down.“Can we talk?”“No, Vivian. I still have things to take care of at home, so I should get going.”“You and Fiona have already broken up. What could you possibly have to take care of at home?”Lucas fell silent.Vivian was still as blunt as ever.“All right, I’m just teasing you.” Vivian’s expression turned serious. “I really do need your help with something.“There’s a jewelry charity gala tomorrow night, and I don’t have anyone to go w

    Kenneth watched Lucas with open amusement, clearly ready to enjoy the show.Lucas ignored the teasing look in his eyes and smiled at Vivian.“What do you mean, ‘do you the honor’? You don’t come back often, Vivian. If anything, I should be treating you to lunch.” The three of them moved to a private dining room.When they sat down, Vivian deliberately took the seat right beside Lucas.Kenneth nudged Lucas with his shoulder.“The second Vivian heard you and Fiona broke up, she wrapped up her work overseas as fast as she could. Her flight landed today, and she came straight here to see you.”Kenneth had not bothered lowering his voice at all.Vivian heard every word, but she did not deny it.Lucas frowned slightly.“Vivian and I are just old classmates. Stop talking nonsense and dragging her into this.”Vivian’s beautiful eyes stayed on him, making no effort to hide her affection. She gave a charming smile.“Maybe there was nothing between us before. But what about now, Luca

    With a heavy thud, Xena dropped to her knees.“Lucas York! I’m going to kill you!”Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was nearly out of her mind with rage.The next second, Lucas held his phone right in front of her face.His deep voice sounded lazily above her.“Are you sure you want to keep making a scene? Because if you do, I wouldn’t mind sending this photo straight to your dear best friend. We can find out right now just how real that friendship really is.”Xena’s eyes widened as she stared at the screen.It was a photo of her in bed with a man.The picture was painfully clear. Both her face and the man’s face were visible.Panic shot through Xena.How did Lucas have this photo?How did he know she had cheated with her best friend’s boyfriend? And when had this photo even been taken?She had clearly been so careful.Xena suddenly reached out to snatch the phone.Lucas had already expected that. He quickly stepped back.Xena grabbed at empty air and fell flat on her fa

    The commotion quickly drew the restaurant manager over.“Excuse me. What happened here?”When the manager saw Lucas, surprise flickered in his eyes, but he quickly composed himself.Xena covered the injured side of her face and snapped at him.“What kind of restaurant are you running? How could you let a broke nobody like him come in here and cause trouble? He hurt my boyfriend. Have him thrown out right now!”The manager looked doubtful.A waitress who had witnessed everything quickly leaned in and explained what had happened in a low voice.The scene had been too intense earlier, and she hadn’t dared to step in.After listening, the manager understood the situation.He gave Xena a polite smile.“I’m sorry, ma’am, but our restaurant welcomes all paying guests. We don’t judge customers by their status. Also, our staff can testify that your boyfriend was the one who started the trouble.”Xena was practically trembling with rage.She raised her hand, her finger nearly jabbing

    The moment Lucas refreshed his feed, Zac’s newest post appeared right at the top.It was a nine-photo grid.Eight of the photos were close-ups of the dishes Fiona had made. The last one was a selfie of Zac flashing a peace sign, with half of Fiona visible in the background.The caption read, “Homemade lunch from Fiona. Delicious. I love it.”There wasn’t a single like.Lucas knew Zac had made the post visible only to him.He had posted it just to show off.A faint, mocking smile touched Lucas’s lips.This was Zac’s usual trick.Every time he was with Fiona, he had to post even the smallest thing online.And every time, it was meant for Lucas to see.In the past, it had worked. It had hurt so much that Lucas eventually went numb.Now, he still couldn’t say he felt nothing, but he was much better than before.He could look through the photos calmly now.He could even give the post a like.“Lucas? What are you doing here?”Lucas looked up.Across from him, Xena was clingi

    In the hospital room, Zac stared at the stack of food containers in front of him, his face lighting up with surprise.“Fiona, did you make all of this yourself?”“Yes.”Fiona sat beside the bed and glanced at his leg, which was still in a cast.“You said on the phone that your leg was hurting again. How does it feel now?”Zac’s eyes curved as he gave her a sweet, puppy-like smile.“Now that you’re here, I feel much better. You’re basically my painkiller, Fiona.”Then his gaze drifted back to the food containers, and he swallowed.“Fiona, can I try some?”Fiona frowned.“These are all spicy dishes. I thought you didn’t like spicy food.”She had only planned to check on Zac briefly, then go pick Lucas up. But Zac had noticed the food in her hand and said he was curious, so she had opened the containers to show him.“But you made them yourself,” Zac said. “I really want to try them. I haven’t had lunch yet.”He looked at her with pitiful, misty eyes, the kind that made it har
