âYou are crazy!â
âSo are you!â
Aurora and Noah instantly forgot everyone else and started scorning each other.
Vicky stared dazedly at them, finding it hard to believe that one was supposed to be a famously
talented bachelor, while the other was supposed to be an elegant, noble lady. The two had cast all
concern about their images aside and resorted to barking insults that hardly made sense.
Cece pinched the bridge of her nose. âItâs starting again.â
Jennifer sighed. âI guess we wonât be able to talk this out today as well.â
The conflict between Noah and Aurora did not ease with Vickyâs arrival. Instead, it escalated as their
two cats fought.
The group decided to temporarily end the dinner and let both of them cool down before discussing the
matter again next time.
As they left the restaurant, Cece said, âVicky, Jennifer and I are heading in the same direction as
Aurora, so weâll head back together.â
Vicky nodded and then turned her attention to Harvey and Noah.
âSince Noah is holding the cat, he wonât be able to drive. Iâll take him back,â Harvey offered.
Knowing that it might be awkward for Noah to be driven home by Tyler, Vicky softly said, âThank you for
doing this.â
Harvey smiled faintly and did not say much. His gaze then shifted to Tyler, and he said, âWell then,
Mister Hart, until next time.â
Tyler remained calm. âJust let me know in advance if youâll be present, and Iâll bring gifts for you, too.â
Harveyâs eyes darkened. âThank you in advance, Mister Hart.â
Turning away, Harvey looked at Noah, who was lovingly caressing the black cat. âLetâs go, Noah. Time
to leave.â
âSure.â With that, Noah bid farewell to Vicky and joined Harvey in his car before driving off.
The night was dark, and the lights on the roadside cast a radiant glow.
Harvey drove through the serene darkness, and it was quiet inside the car except for the occasional
soft mewing of the cats.
After a while, Harveyâs voice broke the silence. âI heard that youâve known Vicky and Tyler for a long
time. Is that true?â
Noah paused, and he turned to look at Harvey. âHow did you know about that? Did Vicky tell you?â
âIâm friends with Gloria,â Harvey replied.
Realization dawned on Noah, and he turned to face Harveyâs striking profile. âHarvey, even though we
havenât met many times, I have to warn you not to get involved with Tylerâs woman.â
