Noah would not have risked his life to agree to Vicky’s invitation.
Cece glanced at the two and said, “Jennifer and Noah seem like a good match. It’s way better than to let her waste time on that jerk, Anthony.”
Vicky knew Noah and that he was a great man. “Cece, should we tell Jennifer?”
“About what?” Cece asked in confusion.
“That Noah likes her.”
Vicky can’t stop Noah from pursuing Jennifer as it was his right to do so, but she could inform Jennifer about it to avoid her from feeling awkward. Plus, if she was not interested, it could save Noah from the embarrassment.
“I don’t think that’s necessary,” Cece said. “Noah is a great guy and Jennifer has already wasted enough time on Anthony. It’s about time that she steps out of her comfort zone to meet other men. Maybe she’ll finally stop being so stubborn. Besides…” Cece lowered her voice. “Jennifer may look cheerful on the outside, but I actually haven’t seen her laugh like this for the longest time. If Noah can make her laugh, we should give him a chance.”
Vicky followed Cece’s gaze and spotted the beaming smile on Jennifer’s face.
After the gathering, the four of them stepped out of the private room.
Noah displayed his gentlemanly manners and offered a ride, “It’s getting late. Let me escort you all back.”
Cece wanted to create an opportunity for Noah and readily agreed.
Jennifer, on the other hand, was interested in the story that Noah had not finished earlier and also agreed.
Vicky did not say otherwise seeing how the other two had agreed.
Just as they were about to head towards Noah’s car, a figure with an elegant and slender presence blocked their way.
As they looked up and caught sight of the handsome and refined face, the expressions on everyone’s faces but Noah’s changed.
Cece held a hostile attitude toward the man in front of her and immediately stood in front of Jennifer. “Anthony, what are you doing here?”
Anthony’s gaze pierced through Cece and landed on Jennifer, who stood behind her. “Jennifer.” His voice was as soothing as a spring under the moonlight, deep and pleasant. “I’d like to have a private conversation with you.”
“We’ve already said everything we needed to talk about.”
Jennifer’s tone turned cold. “Right now, I have nothing to say to you.”
Ever since Anthony abandoned her on the highway for Lily, Jennifer completely lost faith in the man standing before her.
Anthony was never someone with a good temper, so he took a few steps forward, intending to forcibly take Jennifer away.
It was the perfect chance for Noah to step in as the hero as he intercepted Anthony. “Sir, where do you intend to take Jennifer?”
Only then did Anthony notice that there was another man present. Hearing him call Jennifer’s name so intimately, Anthony furrowed his brows with disgust. “And you are?”
Before Noah could speak, Jennifer, who was by his side, suddenly grabbed his arm and spoke loudly, “This is my boyfriend, Noah. Anthony, I already have a boyfriend, so please stop bothering me!”
Vicky and Cece were absolutely baffled; Even Noah himself was momentarily taken aback by the news.
It felt all too familiar like it had happened before.
Before Noah could make sense of it, Anthony’s formerly calm and composed face instantly turned gloomy and icy within an instant as he questioned, “What did you say?”
Noah glanced at Anthony’s expression, which had suddenly changed, and was further overwhelmed by the sense of familiarity with the situation he was in.
‘Is this what they call the deja vu effect when someone feels like they have been in an unknown situation before?’ Noah thought to himself.
Unaware of what was going through Noah’s mind, Jennifer clung to his arm and stared into Anthony’s eyes. “I’m saying I already have a boyfriend, so please refrain from bothering me in the future. As for our engagement, I will discuss it with my parents and yours. Don’t worry, I’ll take full responsibility for calling off the engagement and for getting you in trouble.”
