Dylan looked at his friends and said, “Yes, you?”
“Have an appointment here.”
Although Dylan and Claude had once been close friends, their relationship had cooled following past events. However, they remained cordial.
“Oh, okay. Go ahead then. Let’s meet up again.”
“Okay, sure,” Claude replied.
He began to walk away, leaving Dylan standing there.
One of Dylan’s friends remarked, “You two haven’t seen each other in ages.
“Yes. He left for many years after Morgan’s death. I’m sure he did enough to redeem himself now, but Yancey is no longer the same. I guess that was the price he had to pay.”
“Do you think he loved Morgan? Morgan loved him so much she would die for him.
Dylan thought about her and felt emotional. “Who knows? No one can tell what goes on in

He stared at the two women. Then Sophie turned around and asked, “What are you doing here?”
However, Claude was now fixated on Olivia. Sophie stepped in front of her to block his view. “What are you trying to do?”
She seemed to have seen through his intentions. She had wanted to speak to Olivia to stop them from getting in touch with each other, yet she created a chance for them instead.
Claude finally looked at Sophie and said, “I have an appointment here.”
“Go ahead then.” Sophie said, her guard up, while Olivia remained silent behind her.
Claude understood what Olivia was thinking, but he didn’t want to press her. He simply
wanted to check on Olivia.
Concerned after the recent events, he addressed Sophie, “Soof, could you wait somewhere? I need to speak with Olivia.”
