บท 465: The talk (1)

"I found it," Simon returned with a bottle in his hands. "This one is quite strong so I doubt Kate would be interested in it. I told a servant to bring something light for you to drink, Kate."

"That isn't necessary. You should spend some time alone with your friends, Simon. Since Dale is a busy man with relationship problems and Kyle is more interested in the red-light district than meeting with us, have a moment with your friends. I welcome them to join us for dinner another day when they are free," Kate said. She needed a moment away from Simon.

Simon didn't want her to be out of sight from him. "Nonsense-"

"Come on, Simon. I know it must be hard for you to pull yourself away from your wife, but it is time the men have a drink and talk. We won't be able to catch up with you when you become a father. Which by the looks of it," Kyle glanced at Kate's neck. "Is not far from now. Dale and I are not staying long anyway. Why bore your wife with our talk?"
