Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1268

"Are you going to stay in Seamar City?" Erica asked.

Jordan hummed, "For now, I'm not leaving."

Marion walked up, and Jordan felt an invisible pressure.

Marion spoke. "You smell like gunpowder."

The atmosphere around them shifted with his words, but Jordan remained composed.

Erica chimed in, "Isn't that normal since he's in the army?"

Randy leaned in and sniffed. "I don't smell anything."

Jordan casually lifted his coat, revealing a gun at his waist. "He's not wrong, but it's normal, isn't it? I think he has got more gunpowder on him than I do."

"That's true." Randy nodded. "Alright, stop comparing. I'm starving."

"Caleb is starving." Erica looked at her watch and added, "At this time, he should already be eating. Let's go. I've got all his favorite foods ready."

She looped her arm through Debra's and said, "Forget about these people. Let's go."

Debra glanced at Jordan, sensing that something about him had changed. And Marion wouldn't target someone without reason.

Debra looked at the skewers, beer, fried chicken, hamburgers, and pizza on a simple table.

She was stunned, and Erica explained, "When Caleb was younger, he built up his empire. Back then, he loved eating this junk food, but for his health, I made him quit."

"I remember Caleb once said that when he first tried a hamburger, he found it so novel," Randy chimed in. "Later, he loved fried chicken and hamburgers. He and his old friends would often come up here to the rooftop, eating skewers and drinking beer. Every year, they'd have reunion dinners. Though it wasn't as elaborate as now, back in those days, anyone with decent conditions ate pizza."

He set the table, making sure to leave a spot for Caleb. "Caleb didn't indulge himself much in recent years. Today, let's send him off properly."

Debra and Marion sat opposite them. Looking at the crates of whisky and beer on the ground, Debra felt a lump in her throat.

"We agreed," Erica said, "Today is all about sending Caleb off. No one is allowed to cry."
