Chapter 964
Before Vicky could respond, the waiter had brought over the dishes and the four proceeded to dine
quietly.
After dinner, Vicky went to pay.
âMadam, the bill has already been settled by the gentleman at your table,â the server said.
Vicky froze.
Not long ago, the man excused himself to the bathroom and she realized that was merely his excuse to
pay the bill.
When she returned to the table, she noticed that the man was gone and asked, âWhere is that
gentleman?â
âHe got a phone call and went outside to take it. He told us to wait outside,â Jennifer said.
âLetâs go outside, then.â
After exiting the restaurant, Cece said to Vicky, âJennifer and I have something else to do, so we wonât
wait here.â
The taxi they called had already arrived outside the restaurant, so Vicky nodded.
After getting into the taxi, Jennifer could not help but turn around to look back. âCece, that gentleman
wouldnât even reveal his name. Is it okay for us to leave Vicky alone with him?â
âSheâll be fine.â Cece had been by Vickyâs side for a while
and had learned a thing or two about evaluating people. â Vicky and that gentleman clearly know each
other,â Cece said. She then lowered her voice, âAlso, their relationship seems quite special. The way
that gentleman looks at Vicky is different. If Vicky hadnât gotten divorced, it would be fine for us to be
third wheels, but now that sheâs divorced, the more suitors she has, the better.â
Cece paused for a moment, then continued with indignation, âShe just got divorced, and Tyler is
already fooling around with other women. Over the years, there has never been a shortage of women
around him. Meanwhile, Vicky hardly has any suitors.â
Jennifer nodded. âAlthough Vickyâs marriage didnât work out, starting anew might not be a bad thing.
Thatâs why I think that mysterious gentleman is quite good. Heâs handsome and has a gentle
temperament, unlike Tyler, who is just cold and distant all the time. I feel like he and Vicky would make
a good couple.â
Jennifer pondered for a moment before saying, âCompared to that mysterious gentleman, I think
Harvey is a better match. Both of them are friends and former fiances. They have a foundation of
affection, so dating should feel natural between them.â
Cece rested her chin on her hand. âHarvey⦠Harvey is indeed a good guy. Now Iâm starting to worry
about Vicky. All the men around her are so outstanding. How is she supposed to choose?â
At the mention of Harvey, Cece thought of Noah and asked,â
By the way, how are things between you and Noah lately? I saw him picking you up after work a few
days ago, but I havenât seen him around recently.â
Upon hearing that, Jennifer furrowed her brow. âNoah got into some trouble recently.â
âTrouble? What happened?â
âHe keeps getting injured for no apparent reason, and the day before yesterday, he even encountered
a crazy woman. She rushed up to our table and accused Noah of being unfaithful. She went on and on
and almost got me convinced.â
âA crazy woman?â
âYes. Thankfully, Noah was quick-witted and exposed heron the spot. The woman got angry and tried
to attack him with a knife. Fortunately, he stopped her in timeâ¦â Jennifer
sighed heavily. âIn the end, he escaped from the crazy woman, only to be caught by a former admirer
from his college daysâ¦â
âDoes Noah have that many pursuers? Just a few days ago, I saw a woman pestering him for his
contact information,â Cece mumbled.
Jennifer still had a favorable impression of Noah, and initially, she had thought of starting as friends
and getting to know each other. If they felt compatible, they could give a relationship a try. However,
she did not expect Noah to be so popular among the ladies.
