Eden's thoughts seemed to drift upon hearing this. She sighed and said.
"Yes. Who would have thought my high school first love would end up being my boyfriend's good friend."
Hearing this, Hale downed another glass, his face showing bitterness.
"If it weren't for your parents' disapproval, we should be together now!"
"They just think I'm not as successful as Daniel. I've tried my best. Why couldn't you wait for me?"
I was stunned.
So they knew each other even before I did. They had been together since high school!
"With only us three here, I'll be honest. Hale, you understand me better than Daniel. I haven't completely forgotten our past, but Daniel treats me very well, and my parents prefer him, so please, forget me! After today, we're just normal friends."
This seemed to hurt Hale. He downed another glass of wine, looking even more bitter.
Lillian patted his back, sighing.
"I also hoped you'd become my sister-in-law, Eden. But since you're marrying Daniel, you should avoid getting too close to my brother. You should avoid suspicion."
"Avoid what? We've known each other much longer than she has known Daniel! Why should we avoid each other?!"
Hale seemed drunk and yelled angrily.
