Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 474

Still, no one pressed for details.

Just then, Vesta spoke up. “Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we sit down and have a meal together?”

As soon as she finished, Dalton was about to agree, but Gaylord interjected first. “No, thanks. I have things to take care of. Maybe next time.”

Right after Gaylord, York chimed in, “I’ve got plans of my own too. Sorry, maybe another time.”

Dalton had come with York. He hadn’t expected York to turn her down so directly. Caught off guard, he paused, then simply echoed, “Yeah, maybe next time.”

Vesta had always been a little more attentive to Dalton. She noticed the flicker of surprise on his face and immediately realized York’s excuse was just that—a polite way to say he didn’t want to have dinner with her. She couldn’t help but notice that York’s attitude toward her was… indifferent. Not interested, but not unfriendly either—just polite distance.

She gave a slightly awkward smile. “Alright then, maybe another time.”

York nodded politely, clapped Dalton on the shoulder, and turned to leave first.

Gaylord, meanwhile, had already gone back to his seat, scrolling through his phone, ignoring Vesta completely.
