Chapter : 653
After the meal ended, Jorge said to Matthias, “Mr. Yoder, could I have a word with you?
The incident where Jorge had run into Celeste dining out with Trevor and his daughter some time ago was something Celeste had never mentioned to Matthias, so Matthias truly didn’t know what Jorge wanted to talk to him about.
He didn’t like Jorge, that was true, but he still had to give Theodore some respect.
He nodded. After moving a little distance away from the others, he asked, “What do you want to say?”
Jorge hesitated.
He didn’t dislike Matthias. He simply didn’t like Celeste.
On the contrary, he actually admired Matthias.
That was why he didn’t want Matthias to continue being deceived by Celeste.
But Matthias clearly liked Celeste very much, and their relationship seemed good.
What Jorge said would most likely not be believed and might even deepen the misunderstanding between the two of them.
Still, after hesitating for a moment, he spoke directly. “Some time ago, when I was out having a meal, I ran into Ms. Rodriguez, and… Mr. Fleming and his daughter. They looked very close.”
Hearing this, Matthias finally understood Jorge’s purpose.
He raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Is that so?”
To Jorge, this reaction meant disbelief or perhaps even that Matthias thought he was deliberately trying to stir up trouble.
Jorge pressed his lips together.
Matthias’s reaction was more or less within his expectations.
He continued, “Actually, it wasn’t just that one time. Before that, I’d also run into Ms. Rodriguez and Mr. Fleming behaving intimately.”
After saying this, and without waiting for Matthias to respond, he added, “No matter how you view me, even if I dislike Celeste, I don’t think I’m so despicable or morally corrupt as to deliberately sabotage your relationship. I’m just stating what I saw. As for whether you believe it or not, that’s your business.”
With that, he said nothing more. He nodded once at Matthias, then turned and left.
Matthias raised his eyebrows slightly.
Celeste hadn’t left yet. She was still waiting for him.
When she saw him return and
recalled the look Jorge had given her
before leaving, she almost
immediately guessed the purpose of their conversation. “He told you
about me meeting Trevor in private?”
Matthias smiled. “Yes. I didn’t expect it.”
But it also wasn’t entirely surprising.
After all, the way Jorge had been looking at Celeste today really did seem like he
was growing increasingly displeased with her.
Celeste smiled faintly and didn’t say anything more.
Although Jorge had already gotten into his car, he hadn’t driven far yet. When he looked back, he happened to see Matthias leaning close to Celeste smiling as he spoke softly to her.
Matthias wore an animated expression, as though he were gossiping enthusiastically with Celeste clearly having no faith at all in what Jorge had just
said.
Jorge frowned.
He knew there was a high chance Matthias wouldn’t believe him. After all, he had no concrete proof.
But he didn’t expect Matthias not to take his words to heart at all, showing not the slightest doubt toward Celeste.
Trevor hadn’t left yet either.
He greeted Matthias again. Just as he opened his mouth, his phone rang.
He casually answered the call.
No one knew what was said on the other end, but he immediately replied, “Alright, I understand.”
After hanging up, he exchanged a few more polite words with Matthias, and then everyone got into their respective cars and left.
After getting into his car, Trevor called Jordyn. “Jo, your grandpa is back Don’t stay yout too late Come. home tonight to have dinner with your grandpa and the family.”
