Numerous cigarette butts littered the ground at Noah's feet. It looked like he'd been here for a while.
Bennett tapped a cigarette out of the pack and held it between his fingers.
Seeing this, Noah offered him his lighter.
Bennett cupped his hands around the flame, lit the cigarette, and took a deep drag. Then he heard Noah ask, "How... how is she? Has she been doing well all these years?"
"She seems fine," Bennett said, exhaling a cloud of smoke. "Cynthia is a strong woman. The broken engagement affected her, but it won't break her."
"Right. She's the eldest daughter of the Scott family. With Mr. Scott Sr. backing her and her parents planning for her, no one would dare let her suffer." Noah couldn't help but laugh at himself. "Look at me, worrying for nothing."
Cynthia's fiancé had cheated on her, keeping a college student who hadn't even graduated as his mistress.
Cynthia had broken off the engagement without any hesitation. Her ex-fiancé got nothing out of it, losing nearly half his fortune in the process. The college girl was expelled, her reputation ruined.
Bennett smoked a cigarette with Noah. After stubbing it out, he patted Noah on the shoulder.
"Noah, you should go home. It's getting cold. You'll catch a chill if you stay out here too long."
"Yeah." Noah seemed to take the advice. He put out his cigarette, coughed a few times, and got into his car.
Bennett stood there and watched Noah's car drive away before turning and heading back to his own.
"Noah didn't seem to be in a good mood," Yvonne commented to Bennett.
