Chapter 600 Farewell Toast
Colin slightly raised his brows when he heard Abbot’s words.
Not getting a response from Colin, Abbot continued through gritted teeth, “A man should be honest and kind. You can’t seek happiness from other people’s pain.”
Colin asked in a deep voice, “Are you talking about Ethan?”
Abbot said, “I was referring to…”
Before he could finish his words, Colin looked up at Ethan and said in a righteous voice, “Ethan, Abbot was referring to...”
Colin was interrupted because Abbot reached out and pinched his thigh fiercely. Abbot said, “Let me tell you a joke.”
Everyone at the table simultaneously looked toward Abbot when they heard his words.
Having no choice, Abbot deliberated on the wording for a while, coughed, and then said, “A poor guy changed his phone number. He planned to joke with his girlfriend and sent her a message: Love is destined. Do you want to know about your fate with him? Then send you and his real names, such as Tom and Susan. The consulting fee is 5 cents per time. Several minutes later, this poor guy received his girlfriend’s and his best friend’s names…”
The private room was enveloped by dead silence when Abbot finished the words.
Faye tried hard to suppress her laughter.
Violet looked awkward.
While Colin and Ethan looked interested.
Colin chuckled and then said meaningfully, “This story is very connotative.”
Ethan asked, “Is that poor guy surnamed Waylon?”
Colin teased, “Luckily, his surname is not Farrell or Bond.”
The two chimed in with each other, which amused Faye and Violet. To suppress their laughter, they lowered their heads and took a sip of water.
No matter how awkward the process was, at least the result was good.
The tension in the private room was alleviated because of Abbot’s lame joke.
After a while, all the dishes they ordered were all served on the table. Abbot pulled his chair toward Colin and said in a low voice, “It was just a joke.”
Colin nodded and said seriously, “I understand.”
Abbot continued, “It doesn’t have any connotation.”
Colin nodded with a serious expression and said, “I understand. It has nothing to do with you and Matthew.”
Abbot was rendered speechless.
Being choked by Colin’s words, he gritted his teeth and picked up his cutleries, preparing to enjoy the dishes. But he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the colors of the dishes.
