Tyrone wore a stone-cold expression, guarding his gaze against Jonathan as if he were a thief.
Before Jonathan could utter a word, Tyrone spoke up, “Uncle, at your age, you should know better than to overdo it. If you get drunk again tonight, you won’t be able to get up in the morning. At this age, we need to accept our limits.”
Such a statement would irritate anyone, but Jonathan’s smile remained gentle, showing no sign of getting angry. He replied, “Quinn’s treating us, so of course I’m going. Besides, it’s been ages since I caught up with Snow. Today’s a good day to catch up.”
Tyrone snorted, “Catching up? Catching up with a rival in love sure is interesting.”
Quintessa couldn’t care less about what the three of them thought, waving her hand dismissively, “The more, the merrier. Let’s all go, Manny, lead the way.”
Her tone left Tyrone and Snow bickering, but perhaps letting the three of them interact was better. A triangle is always more stable than a duo; this way, there might be a chance for some balance.
“Let’s get in the car.”
“Take mine.”
Tyrone and Snow said at the same time, then glared coldly at each other.
Jonathan offered with a light smile, “If you don’t mind, how about my car?”
Tyrone grabbed Quintessa’s arm, “Uncle, you’d save your teeth for skewers, lest you struggle to chew anything harder later.”
If it came down to resources, Tyrone had more than the other two, but what really set him apart from Jonathan and Snow was his shamelessness, and his ability to take action.
Without giving Quintessa a chance to respond, Tyrone pushed her into the front seat of his electric scooter, stretched his legs, twisted the throttle, and zipped off. The vehicle was far more agile than Snow’s luxury car.
Snow’s gaze darkened for a moment before he turned to Jonathan, “Let’s go together.”
