Westonâs face turned sullen: âWho told you guys to do all these?â
Daisy fell silent with a slightly unpleasant expression on her face. She smiled stiffly and explained to Weston, âIâve been worried that youâve been so down for the past few years, so I thought Iâd throw a party... I personally cooked for you, and I hope youâll like it.â
Daisy had all her lines ready, but she always fumbled whenever she faced Weston. She was no longer the same confident self she once was.
Weston did not say a word and pressed his fingers against his brow. He showed no response, though the gloominess in his eyes stayed like a longâlasting fog.
Daisy felt intimated by his cold gaze. However, there was no turning back at this point, and she could only bite the bullet and try to convince him to join the party. âItâs time for the meal. Youâre already here anyway. Why donât we sit down and have a meal?â
Ben also said, âMr. Ford, why donât we have a seat? Itâs been a long time since youâve had a break.â
As soon as Ben finished his sentence, they heard another personâs footsteps coming from the other side.
âMr. Ford...â Nicole came over and looked at them in surprise. Then, she turned around and looked at Xavier behind her.
Nicole told Xavier about her intention to celebrate Westonâs birthday. She had to go through a lot of trouble before she found Xavier, and it took more than her fair. share of convincing to get him to agree.
Nicole was going to talk to her sister about this, but Daisy was her rival in the pursuit of Weston.
Therefore, Nicole gave up and found her own way. Unfortunately, Daisy got her way first.
Xavier glanced at Daisy indifferently.
She felt a chill from his stony gaze. Not expecting Xavier to show up, she kept her head down, not daring to look at him. At the same time, she was a little angry and frustrated.
Xavier knew she was pursuing Weston. Why did he interfere?
He was Daisyâs exâboyfriend and technically her ex fiance too. Daisy did not want Weston to think she was still involved with Xavier.
Xavier gave her a cold and sarcastic laugh. âLong time no see. So youâre here for Westonâs birthday?â
Daisy forced a smile. âItâs been a long time.â After that, she looked at Weston and tried to find some emotion on his face, but there was nothing but a flash of impatience.
Xavier walked to Weston with Nicole. He smiled and teased him, âYouâre so lucky. These two rushed here to celebrate your birthday. Theyâre sisters too.â
His tone was thick with sarcasm, which stiffened Daisyâs face.
Nicole, on the other hand, seemed unaffected. Her eyes darted around as she tried to think of a way to strike up a conversation with Weston. She did not care about the man beside her. Xavier and Daisy were former lovers, and there was nothing strange about giving her a few mocking remarks. This made her chances even better.
Nicole walked to Weston with a bright smile on her face.â Mr. Ford, Iâve asked the chef to make some of your favorite dishes. I wonder if youâd be so kind to...â
One of the sisters had cooked on her own, while the other arranged for the food. Ben listened to the conversation and had a headache. He could not help but peek at Westonâs face.
Weston looked as usual and did not seem to be affected.
A few moments later, Weston looked at Henry indifferently. âYouâre here. Come. Sit down and eat.â
Weston was indifferent to everything nowadays. Ben obviously saw it and he could only sigh in his heart.
