Chapter 2668: Chapter 2677: I Already Have a Girlfriend
The others exchanged a knowing look and looked at the beautiful woman opposite him with a half-amused smile. A teasing voice chimed in, saying, "Brother Adam, this is what they call the jitters of approaching home~"
"Hahaha, since when did you learn to use idioms? But ’the jitters of approaching home’ is spot on, damn spot on!"
Another person slapped his thigh, "Indeed, that’s spot on. Austin, you’ve got a knack for this, listen to me, stop messing around with women and focus on becoming a literary master. There’s a future in it!"
"Enough with that, a literary master, what a joke. I’ll stick to messing around with women; otherwise, it wouldn’t justify being born into such a good family."
"Haha, I’ve recorded it. I’ll play it for your old man one day, it’ll surely make him so angry he’ll spit blood."
"Please don’t, I’m afraid my grumpy old man will beat me to death first."
The group exchanged banter, and the atmosphere warmed up again.
This group was all second generation.
If not from a wealthy family, then they were the second generation of a powerful family.
But they all belonged to that type of rich playboys. As they grew older, some became more stable like Adam Sinclair, but some remained as carefree as before. These two types tended to look down on each other, which led to them gathering less frequently.
If the initiator hadn’t been Renee Anderson, the goddess of their youth, this gathering probably wouldn’t have happened.
Adam was indifferent to their teasing, pulled back a chair brought by a waiter, and sat down, calmly saying, "Stop joking about me. I have a girlfriend now, and it wouldn’t be good if she heard this."
He said it with noble calm, but this sentence undoubtedly threw a stone into everyone’s heart.
He meant he no longer had feelings for Renee beyond friendship and was sending a signal that he valued his current girlfriend very much.
Others initially wanted to joke about him and Renee, but seeing him make his stance clear, the smart ones stopped joking about it.
They were just a bit surprised that he had actually been captivated by a film star, even though she wasn’t present, showing how much he liked her.
The only one who couldn’t quite smile was Renee. When Adam was being teased earlier, she sat there indulgently smiling, but when Adam spoke, it was as if she had been slapped in the face, feeling a bit embarrassed. However, she remained composed, showing nothing, and quickly stepped in to lighten the mood, "Alright, alright, stop causing a scene. I’ve finally returned home, and you all start acting up the moment you arrive. Seriously, watch out or I’ll tell your elders and they’ll sort you out."
She used to be the princess in this group, admired by everyone, because all the elders adored her. As the outstanding child next door, what she said was trusted by the elders.
If she pointed out someone’s faults, that person would definitely get a beating.
Plus, she was beautiful and, in the eyes of these snot-nosed boys, a queen. What she said was considered a decree by the boys. So, she had a lot of influence.
When she jokingly scolded just now, it indeed brought back childhood memories for many, and they responded respectfully.
"Please, Sister Renee, spare us."
"Hahaha, it’s all Austin’s fault for his foul mouth. I’m all for you straightening him out."
"Brother, you just said you’d cover for me, but now you’re selling me out."
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, waiters entered with dishes in single file, completely easing the earlier slight awkwardness.
