The lively atmosphere instantly quietened down.
Even the noisy music outside seemed to have disappeared.
The spacious private room became a little strange.
One second…
Two seconds…
Three seconds of dead silence passed…
“Zivon, are you kidding us?”
“Hahaha! Zivon, you’re frustrated because of a woman? That’s the best joke that I’ve ever heard in my life! My stomach is already hurting from laughing too much!”
Chace and Zayne thought of it as amusing, as if they had just heard a fantasy story.
Other people might not know it, but they knew it very well. Zivon didn’t have any feelings or emotions towards women. Even if he had any emotions, he would only feel disgust.
How could he possibly feel frustrated because of a woman?
Zayne finished a glass of red wine as he laughed and smiled until he realized that the expression on Zivon’s face was still very cold and gloomy. Something quickly flashed through his mind and he stopped laughing as he moved over to Zivon.
“No Zivon, when you came to the hospital the last time and said that you felt heartache, was it also because of the same woman back then?”
Zivon glanced at him with a cold and indifferent expression on his face.
Did this mean he silently admitted it?
Zayne instantly had a serious expression on his face as he began to analyze the situation.
“Let me think about it. The only woman that you interacted with in S City aside from sister-in-law is Xavia Lockhart. You even had sexual intercourse with her.”
“Could it be…Xavia Lockhart?”
Even Zayne himself was shocked when he came to this inference.
No, it could not be! That was his sister-in-law’s younger sister!
But…
Zivon raised his head and took another sip of red wine, not denying anything at all.
“Damn it! I really guessed it right! It’s really Xavia Lockhart!” Zayne was so shocked that his jaw was wide open.
Chace frowned. “Who is Xavia Lockhart?”
Zayne explained, “Jenna’s twin sister.”
When Chace heard ‘ex-wife’, he instantly remembered the day at the banquet when his ex-wife walked past him as she held onto the young and handsome man. His heart was filled with extreme annoyance.
“Zivon Burton! Your current situation isn’t any better!”
“I think you can only marry Jenna and feel frustrated and annoyed when you see Xavia Lockhart dating Stefan Talton. After that, she will call you her brother-in-law but it will sound very unpleasant to you, right?”
Chace’s cold and mocking words were simply a cut right through his heart.
Zivon roared, “…Chace Saltman!”
The two men were the coldest and coolest men but at that moment, they were both at the stage of mutual hostility because they were both talking about something that they didn’t want to mention at this moment.
It was like a taut string that would break at any time!
The air was extremely depressing.
Zayne was puzzled.
He was completely at a loss. “No, wait. Why are you guys quarrelling for no good reason?”
“In my opinion, Chace, since you like your ex-wife, you should pursue her. Anyway, I have always felt that Bianca Jourdain is pretty good. There won’t be another woman who loves you more than she did.”
Chace calmed down, picked the wine glass up with his well-defined hands and drank from it.
