Chapter 439 Dying
If one trick worked, Colin would not need more.
And the trick of "putting in a good word for Uncle Jadon" would always work on Abbot.
On the way to the hotel where Jadon's class reunion was held, Abbot kept his eyes closed while taking a nap and did not say one more word.
When Faye looked at him through the rear-view mirror, she found he was angry but didn't dare to lose his temper. Seeing his forbearing expression, she tried hard to hold back her laughter.
When they arrived at the hotel, they got off the car one after another.
Colin quickly walked around the car to Faye's side and said, "The shrimp here is good. Would you like to have a try?"
Faye nodded, "OK."
Then, he took her hand and said, "Watch your shoulders."
She smiled, "I will."
When they were talking intimately, Abbot looked up at the sky, standing less than half a meter from them.
The night view was so-so today because it was so dark that they could not see the moon or any stars. And Abbot's current mood was as cloudy as the sky.
Chatting with Faye for a while, Colin turned to look at Abbot and asked, "Abbot, what do you want to eat?"
Abbot pretended to be surprised when asking, "Do I still deserve to have dinner with you?"
Colin said, "You're allowed to order two dishes."
Abbot replied, "Thank you so much."
Colin teased, "We're best friends, so I can't bear to watch you starve to death."
Abbot let out a hollow laugh.
Colin had booked the private room opposite the one where Jadon's class reunion was held in advance.
After the three of them entered the private room, Colin took over the menu and ordered several dishes that Faye and Abbot liked.
Hearing him ordering dishes, Abbot leaned back in the seat and tutted, "What a scheming man! Do you intend to buy me over with such small favors?"
Colin handed the menu back to the waiter and turned to look at Abbot.
When Abbot noticed his gaze, he looked into his eyes and said, "Humph! Man!"
Colin was speechless.
After a while, all the dishes were served. Then, the three of them began to eat while chatting about Jadon and Carlotta.
Abbot sighed, "I've never expected Uncle Jadon could have a girlfriend."
Colin teased, "Do you dare to say it to him?"
Abbot rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Why? Why would I court death?"
Colin mocked, "But you're courting death all the time."
