Chapter 766
At that moment, Beck returned, interrupting Jorge’s questioning of Caleb.
Seeing him, Jorge greeted him. “Mr. Harper.”
Beck nodded, but his gaze settled on Caleb. “Mr. Jennings.”
Caleb nodded in return. “Mr. Harper.”
The two hadn’t crossed paths many times before, but during their last camping trip, they had each discovered the other’s feelings for Celeste.
Although Beck didn’t know Caleb well, he knew he was an extremely low-profile person. Caleb rarely attended such business banquets because of his profession.
So, the only reason Beck could think of for his appearance tonight was that Caleb knew Celeste would be here.
Their eyes met briefly. That single glance silently confirmed each other’s feelings. However, neither man was the type to make a spectacle of himself.
They both calmly looked away after that brief exchange.
Caleb wasn’t particularly close to Trevor or Wynn. With Narcissa also present, he had even less reason to linger around the group.
He politely said to Trevor and Miles, “I’m going to say hello to a few friends. We’ll chat later if there’s time.”
Jorge, however, hadn’t noticed the silent understanding that had just passed between Caleb and Beck.
He actually wanted to speak with Wynn a little longer. But with Trevor standing right there…
It had been quite some time since he’d last seen Trevor and Wynn together. It looked like their relationship still seemed as solid as ever.
Yet he still couldn’t forget what had happened between Trevor and Celeste. To him, the seemingly perfect relationship between Trevor and Wynn was built on nothing but deception.
With that thought, he deliberately looked at Trevor. “Mr. Fleming, let’s find some time to talk later.”
Trevor seemed completely oblivious of the coldness in Jorge’s eyes. He smilingly replied, “Of course. Let’s talk when we get the chance.”
Soon, Caleb and Jorge turned and left.
After they were gone, Miles finally
gave in to his curiosity and asked et
Narcissa, “So, you and Caleb went on a blind date before He’s quite a catch. How come it didn’t work out
Ever since Beck had returned, the smile on Narcissa’s face had dimmed. She answered, “He told me he was already in love with someone else.”
Miles’s eyes widened. “What a coincidence.”
Narcissa nodded.
Naturally, Beck knew whom Caleb was referring to, but he said nothing.
From the way Caleb and Beck had greeted each other earlier, Wynn had already realized that both men knew the feelings they each had for Celeste.
Now, hearing this confirmation, she remained silent.
After a brief pause, she looked toward Trevor. He appeared completely unaware.
Still smiling, he glanced in the direction Caleb had left before casually changing the subject and chatting with Beck about something else.
Xavier came together with Caleb and Jorge.
He just returned after stepping away to answer a phone call.
Looking in the direction where Trevor and his group were, he clicked his tongue.
“If it weren’t for what we know, I would think Me Fleming and his girlfriend have a perfect relationship, seeing them acting all lovey-dovey. But in reality…”
Caleb had previously heard Jorge and Xavier mention witnessing Trevor cheating with another woman But he had never been interested in Trevor’s private life and hadn’t bothered asking for details.
So now, hearing Xavier bring it up again, he simply listened in silence, with no
intention of joining the conversation.
