Supposedly, he could smile off and feel happy when he saw his wife see a comedy show. However, not this time. Information from Arsene seized his whole mind. Could his parents be involved? Or did his parents do it on purpose because they thought they were strong business rivals? Or the event was just a coincidence and there was no connection at all?Ah! No way that last one.
