Chapter 397
Jimmy looked up and froze when he saw Eugene.
Eugene looked at him. “Hello.”
Jimmy was completely stunned. When they were at Serameton University, Jimmy had been.
close to Theresa and had had dinner with Eugene. They hadn’t met in a long time, but he was embarrassed to think
about the past.
The three of them sat down.
Eugene said to Jimmy, “I knew Rose was married, but I wasn’t expecting you.”

Jimmy said, “We’re from the same university.”
“Oh, I remember. Uncle’s from Serameton University too.”
Jimmy was worried although Eugene didn’t mention the old days. He asked Eugene, “Uncle, I
heard you’ve been abroad before. Are you coming back?”
Eugene said, “Yeah, I’ll be joining Charlie’s company. My family and friends are here.”
Jimmy said, “I think it’s good to be at home too.”
Eugene smiled.
While they were talking, Rose stood up and went to get the sauce.
Jimmy asked Eugene worriedly, “You didn’t tell Rose about me and Theresa, did you?” He didn’t want Eugene to tell
Rose that he had been close to Theresa before.
Eugene asked, “What are you afraid of? Aren’t you divorced?”
Jimmy said, “Yes, but… I don’t want Rose to think too much about it.”
Eugene smiled. “You used to be so close to Theresa. I didn’t think you’d get divorced.”
Everyone had thought they were perfect for each other before. They had also said they would be together forever,
but they divorced within a few years.

Eugene looked at Jimmy with mixed feelings. He had heard that they had divorced because Theresa had cheated
on Jimmy. He had despised Theresa for doing that, but yesterday, he had learned the truth. The more Jimmy said
bad things about Theresa, the more he felt Jimmy was despicable.
Eugene reminded Jimmy, “It’s all in the past. Since Rose is married to you, I hope you treat her well. My sister risked
her life to give birth to her. You know the consequences if you fail her.” What had happened with Theresa and
Jimmy was none of his business, but he wouldn’t put up with it if Rose was bullied
Jimmy promised, “I will”
“I have work to do Enjoy your lunch” Eugene stood up and left.
Jimmy stared after him and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had been afraid of meeting ofd
friends since he and Rose got married. He didn’t know how to face them.
