Curtis Prescott frowned, about to scold him.
He knew exactly what kind of person she was.
But out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Lynn Shea descending from the stairs wrapped in a shawl, and immediately changed his tune.
"Probably... just started dating someone. Now she's got backup."
He paused, swallowing what he was about to say, and chose a more ambiguous explanation instead.
Lynn was standing midway down the stairs, clearly having heard part of their conversation.
"What? Vivian has a boyfriend? Who is it?"
Vincent Prescott perked up instantly.
His eyes widened, curiosity immediately washing away his earlier anger.
The thought had lingered in his mind for a long time.
Vivian lived with the Prescotts, and she was so close and natural with Curtis.
He had even wondered if the two of them had something going on in secret.
But now, hearing she had a boyfriend, he was taken aback instead.
Curtis lowered his eyes, his voice growing deep.
