Give Up On Him Completely
In the afternoon, 1,000 Degrees Cafe.
Wendy and Andrea sat face to face, drinking coffee and chatting.
As they conversed, Andrea talked about the old master‘s 70th birthday.
“Wendy, you‘re attending my grandfather‘s 70th birthday, yes?” Andrea asked like she had some other
intention.
Wendy had also received the news. The Quirkes shared a deep friendship with the Lawrences.
Naturally, she wanted to make an appearance. She nodded, “I‘ll be attending. What‘s the matter?”
Andrea asked intimately, “So… Byron will be going with you, right? You two are recognized as a
couple!”
Hearing this, Wendy hesitated for a moment.
Wendy knew that Byron would be going, but she was not sure if he would be attending with her.
After all, although Byron had not dissolved their engagement in these years, he was also not that close
to her.
Andrea was completely unaware of her concerns and just said, “You two must attend together so you
can let some people know just what your status is!”
Andrea had come to abhor Rosalie more because of the cold look she gave her the last time. She
asked Wendy out this time mainly to say this. Was Rosalie not just using Byron to protect her? She
wanted to show Rosalie just who the woman standing next to Byron was! Wendy naturally knew who
she was talking about.
Thinking of Byron‘s attitude toward Rosalie, her heart sank slightly. She agreed, saying, “Of course.
Considering my relationship with Byron, it‘s natural for us to attend together.”
Andrea jumped with joy. “That‘s good! You don‘t know how arrogant that woman has been behaving
these days. I don‘t think she understands her position. I bet the woman will be wearing an aghast
expression when you show up with Byron!”
Wendy was also somewhat eager. She had not had a single peaceful day ever since Rosalie returned
to the country.
It just so happened that she could use this opportunity to get the woman to completely give up on
Byron!
After drinking their coffee and shopping for a while, they went their own ways.
Back home, Wendy thought about the birthday banquet that was being held in two days and could not
help but have a headache.
She had promised Andrea that she would attend with Byron at the time.
However, how was she to persuade Byron?
After thinking about it, Wendy braced herself and called Melody.
“What‘s the matter?” Melody‘s voice sounded the moment the call connected.
Wendy deliberated on her emotions for a bit before opening her mouth and saying apologetically, “Aunt
Melody, Grandpa Quirke‘s birthday banquet is in two days. I assume Byron will also be attending?”
Melody naturally affirmed from the other end.
“Yes.”
After saying that, she pondered for a moment about how the two had not been getting along because
of the incident with Estie. She said bitterly, “When the time comes, you should admit your mistake to
him. I‘ll try to speak up on your behalf too. You two can‘t possibly continue being at odds like this.”
Wendy continued, “I think so too, but… Byron has been avoiding me for a while, and I‘m afraid he won‘t
even be willing to see me at the birthday banquet…” Her voice sounded very aggrieved. Melody did not
think of this. Hearing Wendy‘s words, she was silent for a few seconds before saying, “He won‘t. You
just get ready. I‘ll ask Byron to pick you up in person on the day of the birthday banquet and you two
can attend together.”
Hearing this, Wendy‘s gaze revealed some joy, but her tone was still uneasy. “Alright, I‘ll be well–
prepared.” Melody gave her a few more instructions before finally hanging up the call.
There was a look of unconcealed delight on Wendy‘s face. She did not expect this problem to be so
easily fixed.
She would see then what kind of reaction Rosalie would wear when she saw her attending the banquet
together with Byron.
