Rodney was slightly embarrassed.
He could not help but shoot a look at Shaun's table, which was not far away. There were quite a number of familiar faces, including Catherine and Chase.
Ryan was having an enjoyable talk with his former best friends, Shaun and Chase
As far as Rodney remembered, Ryan was not close to them, especially Chase, who had been in Melbourne all along. Hence, Ryan had never seen Chase before this.
Since when did things change?
Deep down, Rodney felt an indescribable sense of discomfort. It was as though his previous position had been gradually replaced by Ryan.
"Mr. Lynch, everything in the past was my fault. I-"
"As you said, it was all in the past. Don't mention it then. It's over." Mr. Lynch raised his hand and interrupted him. Although Rodney came over in person to apologize, M r. Lynch still could not look past what Rodney did. That was because no matter how much Rodney explained, it would not b e able to erase the harm done.
To Mr. Lynch, the best solution was for Rodney to knowingly disappear from their sights. That would do everyone good.
Mr. Lynch's stubborn behavior left Rodney feeling upset.
He would rather Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch lecture him as they did back then.
"Mr. Lynch, can I have a word with my friends?" Rodney suddenly asked with a deep voice.
"Suit yourself." Not wanting to entertain him at all, Mr. Lynch turned around and walked away.
"Mr. Lynch, here's the gift.” Rodney quickly handed him the box in his hand.
As soon as Mr. Lynch received it, he passed it to Forrest. Then, he turned on his heel and left without bothering to unbox the gift.
