Chapter 121
Moira was a little preoccupied during dinner and didn’t have much of an appetite, so she quickly finished her meal.
As soon as Baldwin put down his fork, she called the waiter over to pay the bill.
Outside, the weather had suddenly taken a turn, and thunder rumbled continuously, signaling it was going to rain.
The two walked
of the restaurant. Baldwin turned around and offered, “Let me give you a ride home.
Moira shook her head and said. “I’ll just get a cab.”
“It’s probably hard to get one in this weather, Baldwin speculated,
Moira smiled and said, “I can call my boyfriend to pick me up.”
Baldwin gave her a long and penetrating look. His eyes dimmed slightly. Then he chuckled and teased, “So, was that call just now from your boyfriend!”
Moira responded with a soft “Mm.”
Baldwin remarked. “Your boyfriend seems to get jealous easily.”
The word “jealous” caught Moira off guard, making her pause for a moment
Baldwin didn’t press further and smiled. Since your boyfriend’s coming. I’ll head out. It’s about to rain. Go wait inside.

Conrad shot him a glare, his deep eyes full of irritation. “Mind your own business!”
Jeff regretted making that suggestion
Alex puffed on a cigarette, tossed a pair of jacks onto the table, and smirked, “Can’t you tell? He’s angry with someone.”
Jeff looked at Conrad’s impassive face with surprise. “Who are you angry will?”

Jeff was shocked. “How do you know?”
Alex flicked the ash off his cigarette and said a meaningful rope, “Haven’t you noticed he hasn’t been hanging out with us at night lately! If it’s not because of a woman, then what Could he be spending his rights flying solo?”
Jeff’s eyes widened as he turned to look at Conrad alwork, forgetting to play his hand. “Is that trur? Do you really have a girlfriend now?”
