Chapter 743
Narcissa even took the initiative to order a few dishes that Beck liked.
However, Beck said flatly, “Thank you for your consideration, Ms. Lackspur. But I don’t feel like having those today. If there’s something I want to eat, I’ll order it myself.”
Narcissa neither felt embarrassed nor discouraged even after being rejected so directly.
Just as she was about to continue talking to him, Beck turned to Trevor and deliberately changed the subject. “Why didn’t Jo come with you?”
Trevor replied, “Jo went to see her mother.”
Beck paused briefly after hearing that before he nodded and then proactively started discussing the current domestic and international business landscape with Trevor.
Anyone could see that Beck had only one purpose when he was asking about Jordyn and talking about business he didn’t want to give Narcissa any opportunity to strike up a conversation with him.
Moreover, Beck looked at Trevor, Miles, and everything else in the room except Narcissa, who was sitting right beside him and closest to him.
His rejection of her was totally undisguised.
Miles stopped helping Narcissa as well after seeing how obvious Beck’s refusal
was.
Throughout the dinner, Beck’s attitude remained extremely distant, even though Narcissa managed to insert herself into the conversation and spoke to Beck several times.
After seeing Beck make his position clear and noticing that both Miles and Trevor appeared to respect his wishes, Wynn quietly lowered her head.
Beck’s rejection had been so direct that it clearly showed he wasn’t even willing to give her friend a little courtesy for her sake.
Neither Trevor nor Miles knew that the reason Beck was rejecting Narcissa so decisively was actually because of Celeste. If they ever found out…
Nevertheless, the atmosphere at the dinner was still quite pleasant.
Everyone went their separate ways after the meal.
Not long afterward, Beck tagged Wynn in their group chat.
“Please tell your friend that I’m not interested in her. So, please don’t make such arrangements like this again in the future.”
Wynn saw the message the moment it was delivered. Her heart sank slightly as she read it.
If she remembered correctly, this was the first time Beck had proactively tagged her
in the group chat since he had fallen in love with Celeste.
She tightened her grip on her phone as she stared at the message.
After a while, she replied, “Alright, I will talk to her. And sorry about today. should have told you in advance. But Narcissa really likes you, and I couldn’t bear to discourage her, so…”
Since this was a group chat, Beck didn’t show any dissatisfaction.
It was because Trevor and Wynn
had a strong relationship, and he et
knew his friendship with Trevor Would remain ungranged event he was unhappy about this matter.
So, he just replied, “It’s fine.”
If this had happened in the past, Beck probably would have sent Wynn a private
message since it was only a small matter.
But now, he had chosen to say it openly in the group chat.
Miles didn’t think much of it at first He found Beck’s firm rejection of Narcissa wash anything unusual,. as was perfectly normal to reject someone you didn’t like.
But after the gathering ended, Beck had emphasized the matter again to Wynn in the group chat.
Although there was nothing overtly wrong with his tone, Miles could still sense a trace of displeasure toward Wynn for trying to matchmake him with Narcissa.
He had always been curious about who Beck fell for. Now, he was even more curious.
Miles tagged Beck in the group chat again as he couldn’t suppress his curiosity.
