Chapter 323: A Man With A Broken Heart Was Really Scary
Yvonne replied, "I want a change of scenery."
A few words were enough for Janice to understand her intention.
"Is it because of James?"
Janice sent a voice message to Yvonne.
Yvonne paused for a moment and replied, "There are some other reasons, but it was not all because of him. I just want to live more comfortably."
Hearing this, Janice said understandingly, "It’s up to you."
As soon as she finished chatting and put down her phone, Christopher came over.
Because he had just come out of the bathroom, he only heard part of the conversation. Then he asked, "Who is going to move out?"
Janice looked up and said, "It’s Yvonne."
Christopher’s hand, which was drying his hair, paused. "Didn’t she just move in? Why is she moving out again?"
Janice sighed and said, "It’s all because of your good buddy, James." "James? What about him?" Christopher asked.
Janice hesitated for a moment before telling Christopher that Yvonne had a boyfriend.
After hearing her words, Christopher immediately understood.
Given James’s personality, he would definitely not give up that easily. If Yvonne continued to live there, she would definitely be very unhappy.
Her moving away was indeed an option to solve the problem.
However, Christopher did not think that it could solve their problem completely.
He said, "Her moving out is indeed a way to solve the problem. However, given James’s personality, I am afraid it won’t be that simple."
"Then what does he want?" Janice asked.
Seeing her so agitated, Christopher frowned and said, "Well, that’s their own business. They will solve it themselves. It’s time to read a story for our baby."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab the storybook and sat beside her.
Janice said in disgust, "Your hair hasn’t dried yet. Come again after drying your hair."
"Wouldn’t I miss the time to read storybooks to my baby? " said Christopher.
"It’s all right. I’ll do it tonight. Anyway, you tell stories to the baby every night, so I figure that the baby should get tired of your voice. It’s time for me to read stories to the baby once in a while, which will make the baby feel fresh."
Hearing Janice’s words, Christopher did not insist. Besides, he still had some things to take care of. Thinking of this, he got up and walked out of the bedroom. He went downstairs and went all the way to the study. Just as he turned on his computer to work, his cell phone rang. It was James calling.
Thinking of what Janice had said to him just now, he knew what James wanted to say to him without picking it up. However, he frowned and picked it up.
"James."
"Chris, come out. I’m waiting for you in the Club."
James’s voice came from the other end of the line.
Christopher glanced at the time. "James, I still have work to do tonight."
"Chris, let me tell you that if you don’t come out tonight, I’ll break off all ties with you for the rest of my life."
Christopher frowned and thought to himself, "Is it that serious?"
However, thinking that he was heartbroken, he didn’t argue with him and only said, "I’ll be a bit late."
"Okay, that’s what you said. If you don’t come tonight, I’ll definitely go down there."
After hanging up the phone, Christopher couldn’t help but frown. Then he thought, "A man with a broken heart was really scary."
However, fortunately, he would not have this kind of trouble.
He put down the phone and focused on his work. And he didn’t finish until eleven o’clock in the evening.
Thinking of the promise he had made to James, he took the key and went out.
Before leaving, he went to the bedroom and looked at Janice. When he saw that Janice was asleep, he gave some reminders to the housemaid and then left peacefully.
When Christopher arrived at the Club, Daniel was also there. However, to his surprise, James did not look devastated.
...
Instead, James appeared to be very calm. And he even seemed to be very sophisticated and experienced. Even if the mountain were to collapse before him, his expression would not change in the slightest.
Christopher walked in with a frown.
When James saw Christopher, he snorted and said, "You have kept your word tonight."
"Tell me do you want me to drink with you or listen to your complaints?" Christopher sat down.
James twitched the corner of his mouth and snorted. "You underestimate me. It’s just a trivial matter. Do you think I would be like that?"
The moment his voice broke off, Christopher and Daniel looked at each other and smiled.
Especially Daniel said in his heart, "God knows who cried and shouted in front of me for the last few times."
"Then why did you ask Chris and me to come over?" Daniel teased.
James looked slightly embarrassed, but he still said, "Can’t I ask you two to come out for fun?"
Daniel laughed coldly instead. "It’s okay if you call me to come over. I’m single after all. However, Chris has a wife and a kid at home. Don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate for you to call him to come over as well?"
The more pretentious James was, the more Daniel wanted to expose him.
James looked upset. " Dan, do you think this is funny? You clearly know the reason why, but you keep asking me. Won’t you let it go unless I admit I am heartbroken? Don’t I have my own pride?" James said in a sullen tone.
Seeing that he got a little angry, Daniel and Christopher looked at each other and said with a smile, "Well, I was kidding with you. Come on! I know you are in a bad mood. Have a drink." Daniel said as he raised his glass.
James said, "That’s more like it."
James clinked glasses with Daniel, only to see that Christopher was still sitting there motionless. Frowning, he asked, "Where’s your glass of wine? Don’t tell me you’re planning to leave tonight in a short while?"
Christopher thought to himself, "You guessed it right."
However, he still raised his glass and said, "I can’t drink, but we can clink our glasses."
James was speechless.
However, James was used to it. If Christopher drank as much as he could tonight, James would be uncomfortable.
The three of them put down their glasses.
Daniel thought for a moment and said, "James, tell me the reason why."
Since he came to the club, James hadn’t told him why they came here, so Daniel was curious.
However, James combed his eyebrows with his hand and said, "What else could it be? She doesn’t love me back."
He said in a self-deprecating way, "Women have to tumble down to know that they like a piece of shit. No, that guy is worse than a shit."
Daniel was slightly curious instead.
"Oh? In that case, you’ve lost to someone even worse than a shit?"
James paused and said, "Dan, do you know what you’re talking about? Shut up if you don’t know how to speak properly. And you won’t upset us then."
"You said that yourself, didn’t you, Chris?"
Daniel referred to Christopher.
Christopher just smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, the reason why James said so was that he didn’t take that person seriously.
He paused for a moment and said, "Looks like you aren’t worried at all."
Hearing this, James scoffed and said, "What am I worried about? It is that guy should be worried about. He is just a two-timed and a toy boy. Let’s see how long he is going to be laughing."
James had a look of disdain on his face.
However, Daniel found it very interesting.
"Oh? Since he is such a loser, how could Miss White like him? I really want to see him after hearing what you said," said James.
"You will see him then. However, I’ll need your help with it."
Daniel’s eyes lit up.
"Tell me, and I will do my best."
James calmly said, "Don’t worry. I’ll tell you when I need your help. Well, by the way, Chris, did your wife say anything?"
...
James did not doubt that Janice knew this at all.
After all, he had witnessed that gossip between women spread quickly.
Given Christopher’s reaction just now, he obviously already knew about it.
Christopher did not deny this. He frowned and said, "My wife is not your microphone."
As soon as he finished speaking, James sneered and said, "You are so petty. If you don’t want to tell me, forget it. I’ll observe myself."
They drank until midnight.
When James was about to go back home, he deliberately wandered around Yvonne’s apartment for a while before returning to his own home.
He indeed didn’t want to accept it, and he felt so humiliated.
However, he was so much more than that.
If James liked someone, he would not give up easily unless there was no chance at all.
However, he had not yet reached that point.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sneer.
In terms of endurance, he had never lost to anyone.
He thought, "Let’s see who can survive in the end."
After deciding to move out, Yvonne began to search for a new apartment for rent.
After she told the real estate agent about her requirements, she soon got a large amount of information about the apartments for rent.
Unfortunately, she was not satisfied after checking so many houses.
After all, in terms of location, environment, and other aspects, Janice’s apartment was among the top. It would be difficult for Yvonne to find an apartment similar in a short time.
Thus, after searching fruitlessly for some time, Yvonne decided to live here for the time being.
It wouldn’t be too late for her to move after finding the apartment.
As for James, she thought that as long as she was a little more discreet in the future, she should be able to avoid him.
After all, he had to work. It was impossible for him to stay at home for twenty-four hours.
Thinking of this, she temporarily put aside the matter of renting the house and focused on her work.
Recently, the laboratory seemed to have received sponsors, and she was working well. However, it was strange that Stanley appeared less and less frequently.
At first, Yvonne did not think that there was anything wrong with it. After all, he was also someone who had to run errands between the hospital and the lab. Therefore, it was normal for him to be a little busy.
However, a few days later, she still rarely saw Stanley, so she felt that something was wrong.
After all, they just determined the relationship not long ago, so they were supposed to be in a period of deeply in love with each other. However, Yvonne was not able to make an appointment with him, and they were not able to see each other often.
Moreover, when she sometimes went to the hospital to look for him, he was not there as well.
It caused Yvonne to feel slightly suspicious.
Then, she called Stanley several times but couldn’t get through that day. When she couldn’t find him in the hospital, Yvonne rushed directly to Stanley’s place.
She stood at the door and pressed the doorbell for a long time before someone opened the door.
It was Stanley who opened it. He looked sleepy as if he had just woken up.
When Yvonne saw him like this, she was stunned. He had got very dark shadows under his eyes as if he had not slept for a few days.
When Stanley saw Yvonne, he froze for a moment and then perked up.
"Yvonne, why are you here?"
Yvonne looked at Stanley in front of her and could not help but frown.
"Stanley, what’s wrong with you? Are you ill? Why do you look so pale?"
Stanley looked embarrassed. "It’s nothing. I’m just tired from an operation a few days ago. Come in."
Stanley stepped aside.
Yvonne walked in and glanced around the room. And she could smell a strong smell of medicine inside.
She couldn’t help but frown. "Are you still saying that you’re not sick? There’s such a strong smell of medicine."
