Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 795

Hugo's answer came far too quickly, too cleanly.

It wasn't just Raymond. Even Sydney, who had been quietly watching the drama unfold, looked slightly caught off guard. After all, the gap between Hugo and Diana wasn't just their age. Diana had also been married to his brother.

Sydney glanced at Diana, who seemed entirely indifferent. She kept her head down and fiddled with her phone as though she were dealing with a work message.

Unlike Sydney, Raymond made no attempt at subtlety. He raised an eyebrow. "Diana, did you hear that? This guy's got someone he likes."

Hugo's back went rigid.

Before he could even start to feel nervous, Diana spoke without lifting her head. "I heard. He's in his 20s. Can't he be allowed to like someone?"

Raymond said nothing more. He only knew that Hugo had chosen a rough road for himself.

The round wrapped up quickly, and soon it was Sydney's turn again.

Raymond's question had set a new precedent, and the game finally started to get a little bolder.

The bottle spun several times as everyone watched. It gradually slowed, then stopped in front of Raymond.

Raymond sat with his legs crossed, sunk deep into the sofa, and made no attempt to dodge the question. He looked at his sister. "I'll take truth too."

He'd had a fair amount to drink that night. He wasn't drunk enough to lose control, but the alcohol had loosened him up more than usual.

Sydney looked at him with a grin, then suddenly dropped a bombshell. "Since you broke up with Tiffany, has there been anyone else you've liked?"

The room fell silent for about two seconds.

Beside Sydney, Tiffany had been shelling a nut, but her hands suddenly froze.

Raymond looked up. His gaze landed on Sydney first, flicked briefly toward Tiffany, then shifted away as though none of it mattered.

"No." The answer came quickly, and he offered no further explanation.
