Chapter 243

In the evening, it was at Funtime Games.

“Calvert, you’re here. Are you here to arrange a gathering for me?” Only Finn and Vanessa were left in the Triple–A Game department. They didn’t speak to each other in the afternoon as usual.

When Finn saw Calvert, he looked like he was seeing a family member. He stood up, all the gloom gone, and he hooked Calvert’s neck. “Vanessa still won’t talk to me.”

“Let’s ask Ash out for dinner. The four of us haven’t dined together yet.” Finn was eager to find an opportunity to reconcile with Vanessa.

If Vanessa continued to ignore him like this, sooner or later, she would be hospitalized with anxiety, and in more serious cases, her life could be in danger.

Calvert glanced at him indifferently. “Is there any need for the four of us to have dinner together? Don’t involve us in your business with Vanessa.”

Finn was stunned. “Are you sure? Wouldn’t this also give you and your fiancée a chance to get along? You two fought, didn’t you?”

“Does it have anything to do with you whether we fought or not? Mind your own business. You’re in deep trouble yourself.” Calvert was seen through, and there was an unknown feeling of irritability in his heart.

Judging from Calvert’s tone of voice and attitude, Finn believed he had guessed correctly. “It’s okay. It’s normal for a young couple to fight. You’ll make up soon.”

Calvert knocked Finn’s arm off and moved to the side, his face cold. “You should be a policeman or a lawyer if you can analyze so well.

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you are mute.”

Finn twitched softly. He was in a bad mood, but now that he was not alone, it didn’t seem so bad.

He instantly joined the heartbroken alliance, and his mood became wonderful.

When a person is hurt and unhappy, it is true that only by finding someone in the same situation could he get comfort. That was how Finn felt at that moment.

“Calvert, how about this? I’ll ask Ash out, and you ask Vanessa out. What do you say? Let’s help each other. Come on, buddy!” Finn made a fist and punched his shoulder. “Yes, huh?”

Calvert looked at him as if he were a fool. “I really suggest you have your brain checked when you have time. Maybe you’re already out of your mind.”

Finn was speechless and complained inwardly, ‘Gosh! He really doesn’t understand humor!

Finn’s shamelessness was extraordinary. It didn’t matter if his hand got beaten away. He put it on Calvert’s shoulder again. “Calvert, you have to take it seriously. Although you are engaged, you still have to coax her. Don’t play rough with women. Otherwise, they will run away with others sooner or later.”

Calvert cast a cold glance at him calmly. If looks could kill, Finn would have been cut to pieces by then.

“Okay, okay. I won’t say anything more. Ms. Turner is not that kind of person. Besides, how many men can outshine you?” Finn changed his tune in time.

Chapter 243

If he continued to tease Calvert, Finn felt he might die there.

The two of them walked out of the project department and bumped into the two people they had just been talking about. The four of them looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Finn looked at Vanessa, who was still downcast, and sighed imperceptibly for a long while. “What a coincidence! You guys haven’t eaten yet, have you? Let’s have dinner together. My treat.”

“No need,” Ash said. She put her arm around Vanessa like a big shot. “We’ll just eat by ourselves. Thank you but we don’t need your treat. Excuse us.”

Calvert’s sharp eyes were fixed on her, emotions surging within them. “Let’s go to dinner together.”

As soon as he said that, the eyes of the other three people instantly focused on Calvert, all with a hint of surprise and disbelief.

“What’s wrong?” Calvert didn’t bat an eyelid, but instead was calm and composed. “Is there a problem?”

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

Finn leaned close to Calvert and lowered his voice. “I just asked you to get everyone together, and you didn’t want to. But now, you’re taking the initiative. Calvert, I didn’t know you were into this.

“This doesn’t seem to be in line with your usual self.”

Both Ash and Vanessa wore expressions of speechless exasperation. Ash moved her lips slightly. “If you two want to whisper, you can go a little further away. We can hear you from this distance.”

Finn raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at the person opposite him and then at Calvert. “Really? Is my voice that loud? I deliberately kept it down.”

“Silly.” Vanessa chuckled softly at Finn’s look.

Seeing her smile, Finn was relieved. “It’s okay. You can give me a piece of your mind if you want. You don’t have to whisper.”

Ash was speechless, her mind screaming that Finn was truly a lovestruck fool.

Finn immediately came to Vanessa’s side and asked gently, “Are you feeling better? Let me take you to dinner. There’s a new barbecue restaurant nearby. Want to try it?”

“No.” In front of Finn, Vanessa shed her usual tough girl aura and became a bit more delicate and feminine.

Finn was not annoyed, nor did his mood change. He continued to coax her. “Do me a favor and try it, okay?”

He reached out and took her arm. “Ms. Whitney, please do me a favor. Let’s not be the third wheel to the lovebirds. It’s not good.”

“Please. Come with me.” Finn didn’t care about the contemptuous looks from the other two. For him, Vanessa was the most important person.

As for the rest, he didn’t care. He was going to stick to pure love.

So–called pure love means putting love first, even before life itself.

Vanessa agreed, not because she really wanted to, but because she thought Finn was too embarrassing. If she stayed any longer, it would be too awkward.
