Without getting noticed by them, Ace sat on the table behind them, eavesdropping their conversation.
“I can’t wait for more days, baby. It’s already late.” The girl spoke.
“Even I can’t wait. But I have things to take care of before our marriage.”
Ace was dismayed hearing him. It was the thing that he clearly unexpected.
“Liam, come on. We have been in a relationship for more than two years, how many years do we still have to wait?”
Every word they spoke, shocked Ace. As far as he knew, Ace and Edwin were in a relationship from not more than a year. Was he cheating on the girl? That was the first thought that entered into Ace’s head.
