And Daisy responded occasionally, but anyone could tell that Daisy had something on her mind.
Gwen didn't think much of it, only feeling that Daisy might be thinking of her parents again.
So she chatted with Daisy even more enthusiastically.
She thought of using some interesting topics to distract Daisy, to help her emerge from her sadness.
But Gwen's understanding demeanor made Daisy feel even more guilty.
Gwen is so good, and I actually wanted to steal her boyfriend. I'm practically not human!
As Daisy thought this, she looked up and saw Rhodey's gaze in the rearview mirror of the car, looking at her.
That look seemed to be mocking her, making Daisy glare back fiercely. 7
Rhodey felt inexplicable. He had only looked back out of curiosity, so why was Daisy suddenly glaring at him? 1
Was he too much last night? 2
But he hadn't gone any further, had he? 5
This dinner was eaten with the three people having different thoughts. 7
Daisy's heart was filled with both guilt towards Gwen and anger at Rhodey for mocking her. 6
And Gwen was simply concerned about Daisy, wanting to help her move past her sadness and embrace a new life. 3
As for Rhodey? 6
He was glared at by Daisy eleven times throughout the meal and kicked twice under the table. 8
He was like a complete punching bag.
Rhodey considered himself someone who had experienced countless romantic encounters, but a woman like Daisy, with such unpredictable emotions, was truly a first for him.
She was clearly so shy yesterday, looking as if she could be easily bullied.
But today, she looked at him with complete disdain.
Both glaring and kicking him.
What exactly did this woman mean?
Rhodey was a bit confused.
On the way home that night, Rhodey was still thinking about what happened during dinner.
Just then, his phone, which was placed beside him, rang.
Rhodey pressed the answer button in the car.
Then Harry's voice came through the car's speakers.
"Rhodey, are you free tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Rhodey glanced at the two women chatting in the back seat, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, I'm free. What's up?"
"Nothing urgent, it's just that yacht party I told you about last time. You couldn't make it last time, right? I was thinking of throwing another one for you. Coincidentally, there's a girl group from Korea performing in the US these past two days. I've already invited their manager, and they've confirmed they'll be on the boat."
"Didn't you used to like those Korean female celebrities? This time, I've invited an entire girl group for you. How about it? Am I a good brother or what?"
You really are a good brother!
Rhodey looked at the two women in the back seat, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Gwen was fine, actually. When she decided to be with Rhodey, she had already decided to accept all of Rhodey's strengths and weaknesses.
Undoubtedly;
Being a playboy was one of Rhodey's weaknesses.
She had known this for a long time.
The first time she met Rhodey, she knew this man wasn't a stable person.
And in this World, which country's rich second-generation isn't a playboy?
Rich people are all playboys.
Or rather...
All men are playboys; the only difference is that some men can only think about it, but others have the means to act on it.
Actually, as long as Rhodey had her in his heart and truly loved her, that was enough for Gwen!
And Rhodey's performance over the past few months was enough to show that he was sincere towards her.
So, occasionally going out to have fun, or just playing along, Gwen actually didn't mind.
"It's fine, if you want to go, just go."
Gwen said generously.
At this moment, Harry on the other end of the phone also heard Gwen's voice and immediately knew that his call was ill-timed.
"Ahem~! Gwen, you're there too. Hello!"
Harry awkwardly greeted Gwen, then said, "Well, I suddenly remembered I seem to have a very important meeting tomorrow. How about next time?"
"Alright, next time it is."
Rhodey hung up the phone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Harry's call was indeed ill-timed.
If it had been any other time, Rhodey would have definitely agreed.
But right now, in front of Gwen, even though Gwen herself had said she didn't mind Rhodey playing around outside as long as he didn't bring women home.
But saying is one thing; if Rhodey had actually agreed to such a thing in front of Gwen, it would definitely make Gwen feel uncomfortable.
Therefore;
Using Harry's clumsy excuse, Rhodey took the opportunity to refuse.
After the call ended, a hint of a smile also flickered in Gwen's eyes.
Rhodey refusing Harry's invitation because she was present was, in Gwen's eyes, a sign of his love for her.
If she wasn't in his heart, he wouldn't care about her feelings at all.
The fact that he did this now, didn't it just show that he cared about her?
Gwen felt sweet inside, and her gaze towards Rhodey was filled with love.
But this made Daisy, who was beside her, very confused.
She had just heard the person on the phone talk about a yacht party, and then something about a Korean girl group, and that Rhodey used to love that kind of thing the most.
Didn't this just mean that Rhodey was a playboy?
And he hadn't changed even now!
But why did Gwen just actively tell him to agree?
Didn't Gwen care at all?
What Daisy found even more incomprehensible was this:
