Chapter 1348:
Kristian shot him a sideways glance. “Aren’t you?”
That shut Felipe up for a moment. God, what a friend.
Felipe scoffed. “Please. Not as envious as you. At least | have a kid with Farrah. Isabella actually likes me. You?
You've got nothing.”
A shadow flickered through Kristian’s gaze, but his voice stayed razor-sharp. “Heard the boy chasing after Farrah

Kristian shrugged like it meant nothing. “Keep talking about marriage and I just might.”
Felipe stared at him, disbelief laced with a dash of hurt. “Are we friends?”

Felipe didn’t respond this time.
He leaned back with a sigh, realizing—yet again—that talking to single men was a dangerous game. They were

Gerard chuckled, adjusting his glasses with a knowing smile. “Someone wants to see you.”
Melvin didn’t see that coming. He looked puzzled, genuinely unable to think of anyone who would want to see
him.
