Chapter 36

This new lovers‘ restaurant opened right
above Keith Ludwig’s restaurant. It was
very popular, so Keith had to come and
experience it himself and even dragged
Eric Ferguson with him.

The waiter stressed over and over again
that this was a lovers‘ restaurant.

The waiter stressed over and over again
that this was a lovers‘ restaurant.
Keith winked at Eric and lightly tugged on
Eric’s arm. “Don’t we look like a couple?“
‘Ferg, Ludwig, what a coincidence…”

A man and a woman walked over to
them. Colton White looked like a typical
gentry, and the woman holding Colton’s
arm was a reoently popular social media
influencer with a small common-looking
teeelandrblo wes-

Keith snorted lightly. ‘Why are you
‘Lily said this place is nice, so we came t
o check it out. Isn’t this a lovers’
restaurant?‘ Colton implied something
and covered his mouth to hold back his
laughter.



They were all childhood buddies. so there
was no need to evade each other. Eric
scowled and glared at Keith.

Colton White felt amused since it was
rare to see Eric at a loss like this He did
not leave and invited himsell to their
table. His date sat opposite Eric- when
Lily saw Eric’s chiseled face. she tried to
suppress the excitement in her heart but
dared not say anything with Colton

around.

‘Hey. Ferg. Isn’t that the scheming bt itch?‘ Colton lifted his chin slightly in one

The music was pleasant and soothing. tan dragged Nicole to the dance floor as h e said, ‘lt‘s just one
dance. Since we’re already here, don’t you want to experience the feeling of being on this dance floor?‘
Before Nicole could answer, the next song had already started. so it would only attract more attention if
she refused. ‘ Whatever. It’s just a dance.‘ ‘ The music was upbeat. Ian and Nicole’s steps only had a
momentary pause in the beginning. Soon after, they matched each other’s rhythm very well and
gradually became the focus on the dance floor. The couples around them stopped to look at the pair.
The man was devilishly handsome and the woman was elegant and beautiful. The hem of her skin

swayed as she danced and the two of them stole all the attention. lan inadvertently saw a certain
someone i n the corner when the song ended, he pulled Nicole into his arms. turned around with his
back against the crowd. and lowered his head as he embraced the woman tightly From the perspective
of



the crowd behind them, they were kissing
passionately
Suddenly, the restaurant resounded with
loud applause.
Before Nicole could react, laii chuckled
and pulled her out ol the restaurant
In the corner
Eric did not speak, but his face was a bit
cold
Keith Ludwig looked at the couple’s
departing back and coldly snorted “lt’s

not‘ that great. Although their dance was comparable to professional dancers. Keith would never admit
that Nicole danced well. “Right? This scheming b”tch hooked up with another guy so soon?’ Colton
sneered. Eric swept a cold glance at Cotton when he heard that. ‘Scheming b’tch? ls that what you
guys call her behind her back?” ‘Yeah, what else? She did everything she could to marry you for
money, didn’t she’

We know what she did to trap you. so
we’re all happy that you finally divorced
her. You don’t have to put up with that
shrew anymore…”
Colton did not notice Eric’s increasingly
plum lace. He recalled some ol their old
memories and retold them as a joke.

‘I remember that when you just got married and we went out drinking together. that woman called in the
middle of the night to check on you when you were lfl the bathroom. I picked up the call and warned her



back then to know her place. She’s so ignorant Can’t she see that marrying you is already an honor for
herb.” Suddenly, a cup landed heavily on the table. The lively chatter and laughter at the table instantly
ceased. Keith looked puzzled. ‘Eric IS clearly angry! ls it because of that woman?‘ Colton did not know
what he had misspoken. Everyone knew that Eric was forced into his previous marriage. The iniiuencer
was so frightened that she ishuddered. She originally thought that

she would be able to hook up Wllh someone more powerful, but she did not even get to say a word at
the table “Fergo ” Colton looked to Keath for help Kenh was |ust about to speak when Enc sneered and
sand, “Colton, why don’! you ;ust become the Head of the Ferguson famnly sf you luke to meddle ln my
busmess so much?”
