Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 510

In the heart of summer, after a hectic week, a group of old friends decided to catch up over the weekend, picking a newly opened bar for their reunion.

Due to an unexpected delay in his afternoon meeting, Phillip arrived a half-hour late.

Time-tested friendships like theirs weren't easily shaken by trivial matters. When Phillip entered the bar, his friends were having burgers and beers, deeply engrossed in a lively discussion.

Shrugging off his blazer and draping it over the back of a chair, Phillip took his seat. One of his friends gestured subtly with a nod, signaling Phillip to take notice of something.

A glance revealed a boisterous group of men and women. Phillip barely gave them a moment's attention before turning to his friends again.

"The guy in the pink shirt," one friend whispered with mischief, "is your rival in love."

Another friend, adopting a tone of mock solemnity, interjected, "What are you talking about? Phillip's only love is his career."

"Oh, my mistake," the first friend corrected himself, "That's your ex-fiancée's current fiancé."

"Be precise. Tina’s almost-current fiancé."

Unfazed by their banter, Phillip wiped his hands and placed the napkin down gently, casting another glance toward the group.

The table was a mix of flashy men and women, the men looking like they'd be more at home in a nightclub, the women all dolled up in figure-hugging dresses, their faces indistinguishably made up.

The man in the pink shirt was partially turned away from them, with a woman in a mini-skirt perched on his lap. She wore elaborate makeup, and her refined tackiness couldn't hold a candle to Tina's natural radiance.

Someone at their table mentioned Tina. "In such a public place, aren't you worried about the paparazzi? The Watson family is quite the highbrows. What would Miss Watson say if she knew you were out here fooling around?"
