Chapter 413:
As laughter and warmth enveloped the private room, a stark contrast brewed in the shadowy corridor by the restrooms.
Sanford could no longer bottle it up. “Wyatt, if you’re itching to speak your mind, just lay it on me. Quit giving me that piercing stare p>
“What is the deal with you and Carlee?” Wyatt asked.
Under Wyatt’s unwavering scrutiny, Sanford hesitated for a heartbeat before murmuring, “It’s just like it appears. We’re in a relationship now p>
Wyatt arched a brow. “That doesn’t square with what you told me before p>

That day, after Amelia and Carlee had exited the room, Wyatt had casually inquired if Sanford fancied another shot with Carlee.
Sanford had dismissed the idea outright, insisting Carlee wasn’t his type.
Amelia was unaware of that exchange.
Recalling his words before, Sanford shifted uncomfortably, a hint of embarrassment coloring his features.
Wyatt continued, “I pulled you aside for a word of caution. Carlee’s one of Amelia’s dearest friends. I’m fine with you being with her, but you’d better be serious about p>
“Your relationship. If this is just a casual dalliance, I advise you to end this right now. Otherwise, if anything happens later, I definitely won’t help you p>
Catching the shadow of disapproval in Wyatt’s eyes, the kind reserved for notorious charmers, Sanford bristled. “Wyatt, come on, do you honestly take me for the type to toy with someone’s heart p>
“Your brother sure is!” Wyatt shot back, his words sharp as a blade.
The mention of Marc made Sanford pause, his retort fading into silence.
Since their school days, Marc had been a magnet for stunning admirers, always trailed by a parade of starry-eyed girls.
After starting work, Marc changed girlfriends faster than he changed his hairstyles.
Sanford had lost count of how many “girlfriends” Marc had whisked into Souls for a flashy dinner.
“My brother and I are different,” Sanford said firmly after a while, his voice tinged with conviction. “I’m not him p>
“That better be true p>
With that, Wyatt turned and headed back to the private room.
After the four had savored their meal, Carlee’s enthusiasm bubbled over, saying she would start preparing the perfect gifts for Amelia’s unborn child.
As luck would have it, a sprawling mall loomed just above the restaurant. Amelia, unable to resist her friend’s infectious excitement, gave in with a warm smile, agreeing to embark on a shopping adventure with her.
