Chase took a potato chip from the table and said indifferently, "There's nothing much w e can talk about."
He was furious. When something happened to Catherine a few years back, and he sided with Catherine, Rodney lashed out at him. Rodney's words could be so harsh sometimes, and back then, it made Chase very disappointed in him.
Did Chase have to go that far for the sake of a woman?
Later, Chase hardly came to Canberra. Even if he did, he would not meet up with Rodney.
When Catherine and Shaun got back together, Rodney slowly mended his relationship with Shaun and Chester.
With Chase's status, he was not desperate for money, and he had no thoughts of growing his career in Canberra either. He was friends with Rodney, but they had never thought of pleasing each other.
Rodney's mouth parted with difficulty." Chase, we were college mates. Back then, w e were so close..."
Ryan darted a frosty glance at Chase and furrowed his brows helplessly. He stood up, walked toward Rodney, and put his arm around Rodney's shoulder. "Rodney, I have something to discuss with you. Let's go out and have a few words."
Rodney was aware of Chase's expression. Nevertheless, he already had a tiger by the tail. He would be deeply embarrassed if he left in dejection.
It happened that Ryan gave Rodney an out. Hence, Rodney went out with Ryan without uttering a word.
Only when the two of them stepped out of the banquet hall did Ryan let go of Rodney's arm. "Why did you show up? You know that the Lynches aren't happy to have you here, yet you still have to embarrass yourself.”
Rodney said dully, "After all, the Lynch family's moving to a new home is a big thing..."
"But you and Freya are divorced. The Lynch family won’t entertain you.” Ryan was particularly irritated. "Rodney, not everything in the world can be solved by just admitting your mistakes and saying sorry. Stop disturbing the Lynch family. They don't care about your apology, and they don’t want to see you. Plus, your friends can never be on good terms with you again like they used to. Do you understand?" “Ryan, you don't understand."
