Leon Battleson looked down at Riley Thompson.
"It's different now."
"What?"
Leon Battleson's words left Riley Thompson momentarily unable to react.
Yet, facing Riley's inquiry, Leon couldn't provide an answer.
Leon shook his head and then left the restaurant, leaving Riley sitting alone in her chair.
Riley stared at the table for a long time until her vision blurred, and only then did she come back to her senses.
…
Meanwhile, the atmosphere between Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson wasn't good either.
Since leaving the restaurant, Justin had been silent.
Justin's steps did not slow down as they used to out of consideration for Charlotte. Once out of the restaurant, he strode towards the car parked by the roadside.
Charlotte originally wanted to speak to Justin, but his figure kept walking further away, barely allowing her to catch up.
Charlotte could see from Justin's expression that he was in a very bad mood.
