Chapter 328
It was just a subconscious reaction, a feeling that he didn’t want to go.
“Maybe… I’m just getting old?”
When you get old, you get tired of crowds and just want to be alone and quiet.
David looked like he’d just heard a joke. “You’re getting old?
You… you’re getting old?”
Well, if that wasn’t it, Cedrick couldn’t think of any other reason.
“Cedrick, what’s really wrong with you?”
David sighed. “We all know you were reluctant to marry Lucille. You don’t love her, so isn’t it a good thing that you’re divorced now?”
“Yeah…” Cedrick’s gaze grew distant. “Isn’t it a good thing?
But, David, why don’t I feel good?
I don’t feel good at all.”
“Is it possible you just got used to it?
You miss someone when they’re suddenly gone from your life. It’s like this dog I had as a kid. I
had it for two years, and one day it just ran off somewhere. I cried for a long time.”
Cedrick shook his head, “That’s not how it works, David. Don’t you love your dog?
Do you cry?”
David was stumped. “Well, yeah. I definitely love him.”
They both fell silent.
After thinking for a long time, David said, “Cedrick, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Lucille?”
Cedrick looked as if he’d been struck. He had never considered the question.
“Cedrick, let me ask you this.”

David said, “You’re single now, right?

Suppose you have two choices: one, go back to Lucille and she’s still your wife, or two, you marry Mari. You’re free to do that now, aren’t you?
You could marry Mari. So, with these two choices in front of you, which one would you choose?
Cedrick didn’t hesitate to answer the question. “David, what are you talking about?
When did I ever plan to marry Maricela?
Since she came back, I never once thought about marrying her!”
David was stunned too. “Wasn’t that because you had Lucille before?
Now that you’re divorced, you’re not even considering Maricela?”
“David, Maricela and I are ancient history.”
Cedrick gave a bitter smile. “What are you thinking?”
“Then why are you so good to Maricela?”
David was stuttering.
“Am I not good to you?”
Cedrick shot back, “Am I not good to Harlan?”
“But… how is that… the same?”
David didn’t know what to say.
“How is it different? You’re all my best friends now. Plus, you two benefited from the company’s success. When Maricela hung out with us, we were still just starting up. She didn’t get anything. She had it so rough overseas, so of course I’m going to spoil her a little now that she’s back. She’s always been like a little sister to us. And besides, you all know about our past as volunteers.”
“Anyway…” Anyway, David felt it was different.
“Of course it’s different!”
A voice exploded like a firecracker from behind them. It was Zoe.
David quickly stood up. “Honey, what are you doing here?”

“I came to see what kind of bullshit you’re spouting now, you idiot!”
Zoe looked furious. “Do you guys have nothing better to talk about than that two–faced bitch?”
“No… Honey, don’t say that. How could Maricela be two–faced?”
