The guests had been assigned seats, so when sitting down, it wasn't chaotic. Each person exchanged a few words with Keane Lowell.
Seeing him busy, she temporarily set aside her questions.
When the dishes were served.
Keane glanced at the empty seat and casually asked, "Where is Milton Rivers?"
At that moment.
Everyone simultaneously looked at Claire Prescott.
Zane White, sitting to Keane's right, smirked, "Ask your lady."
Claire Prescott innocently said, "How would I know?"
Young Master Quill informed, "He went to fix his pants. The little doctor accidentally got cake on him."
These words carried an unusual meaning.
The two had already been at odds, and now with this coincidence—it just didn't sit right.
Keane turned to glance at her, "Did he bully you again?"
"He said things I didn't want to hear."
Keane's indulgence for her spread from his eyes without dwelling on this matter.
