Chapter 17
The scene cut deep into the three men’s hearts.
They could barely breathe. Once, those intimate moments had been reserved for them alone.
But now…
The restaurant was nearly empty as they approached, their expressions grím.
Rebecca and Chris were still eating, oblivious to their presence. They assumed it was just a server passing by- until they realized the three men lingered too long.
Rebecca look up and the moment she recognized them, her smile vanished instantly.
“You again? Wasn’t I clear enough last time?”
Her sudden coldness wounded them again.
“Rebecca, can we talk? Just for a minute.“?” Loki asked cautiously.
“And what do you need to talk to my wife about?” Chris cut in protectively.
Though Rebecca had assured him she had no feelings left for these three, he didn’t want her alone
with them.
After all, they’d known each other for over twenty years, and his wife had such a soft heart.
“Rebecca.” The three men ignored Chris completely, their eyes locked on her.
Not wanting them to harass her in the future, Rebecca agreed to speak with them privately.
She gave Chris a reassuring kiss at the corner of Chris’s mouth.
Once Chris left, Rebecca’s expression turned icy.
“Sit. Talk.”
Her contrasting behavior was painful to witness.

Outside the restaurant, Chris kicked at pebbles to pass the time. A plain–looking woman in a white dress approached him, eyes wide and glassy with fake tears.
Thinking he was blocking her way, Chris moved aside.
Ariana’s pitiful expression froze at his reaction before quickly recovering.
‘Are you Rebecca’s husband?”
Chris eyed this strange woman without responding.
I’m the daughter of Miss Gadot’s bulter. She misunderstands me. She’s in love with the Hemsworth, Madison, and Fraser heirs, but they show me special attention, so she often targets me.” She wiped way theatrical tears.
‘I came to apologize to her. I don’t want her to make a rash decision and marry someone out of pite. After all, she loves those three masters so much…”
As Ariana continued weaving her elaborate lies about Rebecca, she failed to notice how the man’s expression had darkened.
‘Seriously? That’s your best act? The whole sweet girl, victim of jealousy routine? You’re not even good at it.” Chris interrupted her rambling.
‘I-” Ariana sputtered, caught off guard. “I’m just trying to help. Why aren’t you grateful?”
‘Those ‘heirs‘ you mentioned–they’re the ones hassling my wife right now, correct? If they’re so special‘ to you, they’re doing a terrible job. You look awful. Unlike my wife’d been glowing since our narriage. You’re not even fit to carry her shoes.”
He just didn’t wanted her to go inside and disrupt their conversation. Or he won’t waste time with
ner.
‘If you don’t appreciate my concern, fine, but why insult me?” She adopted a wounded expression and turned to leave.
That impossible jerk,‘ she thought. ‘Rebecca, you’re really lucky. Leave three wealthy heirs and still get such an exceptional man.‘
As she turned away, her face darkened with hatred, silently cursing Rebecca. She assumed no one saw her true expression, unaware it was perfectly reflected in the glass.

Chris’s cold voice followed her.
“Hey, you two–faced snake–don’t let me catch you talking about my wife. You don’t want to find out what happens to people who cross me.”
Ariana froze mid–step. About to turn back, she noticed her own reflection in the the restaurant’s glass walls.
She could only walk into the restaurant with her head down.
As she entered, she heard Loki, Darth, and Anton professing their love to Rebecca.
‘Rebecca, I’ve always loved you.”
