Chapter 653

The round table was spacious enough for three people, but when two more joined, it became a snug fit—especially with Maryanne deliberately making Lily and Terence sit together closely. They were all caught off guard by Xavier and Rowan's appearance, let alone the fact that they had decided to join them. After Maryanne adjusted their seats, Terence was seated between Lily and Xavier. "Sorry for intruding." Rowan poured some beer for himself and Xavier. "Let us drink a toast to you as an apology. We're treating today, so don't feel uncomfortable. We're all acquaintances after all." Lily was baffled by his nerve to say such a thing. Perhaps a doctor like him was just so heartless and impassive that he failed to realize how uneasy it was for her to be seated with her ex-husband and current boyfriend. And Maryanne, who seemed to enjoy stirring the pot, probably wanted to provoke Xavier and get revenge on him by making Terence and Lily sit together. A wave of unease settled in Lily.
