“If she can continue to bring me benefits, I might consider marrying her. But if I marry her, I’ll definitely
become a laughing stock because of her affair with Chester. My family won’t approve of it for sure.”
Monte let out a deep sigh. “This is not easy, but if she’s willing to be with me, I’ll certainly support her
forever. It won’t be the same as before. If she wants a child, I’m willing to give her one. My parents will
definitely accept the child if it is part of the Patterson family.”
Hugo nodded in agreement. “Indeed. In fact, Eliza is smart. Having a woman like her as a wife will help
a man a lot. Nevertheless, even if she won the case involving her affair with Chester, no decent man
would want to marry her.”
“Exactly. Perhaps I shouldn’t have broken up with her. Then, her affair with Chester wouldn’t have
happened. Eliza treated me quite well back then.
Among the many girlfriends I’ve had, she’s the only one who would save me from spending and even
buy me gifts.”
At the mention of that, Monte regretted it a little. “ Ever since I got engaged to Lilian, I can’t stand her
reckless spending. We haven’t even gotten married yet. Who knows if her behavior will turn worse after
we get married?”
“The thing is, she’s not as pretty as Eliza,” Hugo mocked.
The two men shot a look at each other and flashed a knowing smile.
After all, men understood men the best. • • •
In the car, it was so quiet that only the sound of the radio could be heard.
However, many boring advertisements were playing right at that moment.
The entire journey, Max kept a long face without saying a word.
“Who owes you money?”
Charity saw the cigarette box on the shelf. Then, she casually picked it up, took out one cigarette, and
was about to put it on her pretty red lips.
Max promptly grabbed it and tossed it aside before telling her off. “Why do you want to smoke?”
“If men can smoke, why can’t women do the same?” Charity asked impassively.
Max lifted his eyes and said in a low voice, “We always have to go for training, and it’s stressful.”
“In that case, you should get some rest at home.” Charity turned around and threw a glance at him. “
It’s so late. Why did you come over with Ryan?”
“It’s because you were occupying their girlfriend and wife.” Max said amusingly, “Ryan called me and
asked if I’m interested in Eliza. If I’m not, he’ll introduce a boyfriend to her. When I heard that, I quickly
said I am. He then wondered why I’ve been passive since I’m interested. He also said it’s no wonder I
can’t find a girlfriend for ages and that I deserve it…”
“Deserve what?” Charity was curious.
Max coughed lightly, and his face was flushed red. “I deserve having no sex life.”
Speechless, Charity rolled her eyes at him. “What a pervert.”
“I didn’t say that.” An innocent look washed over Max’s face.
Charity secretly sighed. No wonder Freya was more open and bold recently. Sure enough, the
previously conservative woman had been led astray.
“Look. I’ve made another sacrifice for you.” Max said with a sigh, “If it weren’t for me, Ryan and Shaun
would’ve begun to look for a partner for you. Say, how would you thank me?”
“Tell me. How do you want me to thank you?” Charity asked.
Max pretended to contemplate. “Actually, my taste in clothing is so-so. Why don’t we go shopping one
day and you help me pick out some clothes? Is that okay, movie star?”
