บท 624: My Friend

Day Seventy…

"This reminds me, I need to go home and see my sister," Jane mentioned, breaking the silence. She leaned closer to Stephen, her words meant for his ears alone. "Go and comfort your best friend. He might be heartbroken to hear this."

Stephen nodded, his gaze shifting to Nathan, who remained standing with an expressionless face.

"I'll take you home," Cherry offered.

"Huh? You just got here. Are you leaving so soon?" Aiden asked Cherry with a hint of disappointment.

Cherry nodded and replied casually, "Yes… because you've already ruined the mood."

Aiden pouted, feeling apologetic toward Nathan. As the two ladies left the shooting range, Stephen wrapped his arm around Nathan's shoulders and patted Aiden on the back. "Let's go. It's been so long since the last time we hung out together, just the three of us," Stephen suggested, heeding Jane's advice to comfort Nathan.
