Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 451

Yvonne hesitated. "Will we be intruding?"

"Not at all! The more, the merrier. Any friend of Mr. Thompson's is a friend of ours," Marlon said with a welcoming smile.

"Move us to the Room upstairs," Bennett said, turning to the restaurant manager.

The Room was the restaurant's largest private dining space, lavishly decorated and spacious enough for over fifty guests, complete with a karaoke setup.

The group made their way to the room and began to settle in.

As the instructors, Winston and April took seats at the head of the table. Bennett sat beside April, with Yvonne on his other side.

The other classmates found their seats around the large table.

Waiters began bringing in dishes, a parade of the restaurant's signature specialties that soon filled the table.

Since she had to eat, Yvonne removed her mask.

Even without makeup, her face was instantly recognizable from the screen, and the others looked at her with mild surprise.

It wasn't unheard of for wealthy heirs like Bennett to keep a celebrity mistress.

But Bennett had a reputation for being fiercely loyal. When he was with the first Yvonne, he had been completely devoted. Later, with Yolanda, there had been no whispers of scandal either.

Now, he had a young starlet by his side. Though he called her a friend, the nature of their friendship seemed obvious.

Bennett and Yvonne didn't interact much, barely exchanging a few words, but the occasional glance that passed between them held an unspoken intimacy and a soft, lingering affection.

For most of the meal, Bennett chatted with the instructors and his old friends, while Yvonne, unable to join the conversation, listened quietly.

"She can't hold her liquor. I'll drink for her."

"It's fine if the young lady doesn't drink. In that case, we'll drink!"

Obligingly, Bennett raised his glass again.

At that moment, everyone at the table understood that the relationship between Bennett and the young starlet was anything but simple.

Seeing this, April couldn't help but frown slightly.

The union between the Thompson and Walker families had seemed like a sure thing. She couldn't believe Bennett had suddenly thrown it all away for some unknown actress.

For years, April had advised Bennett to cherish Yolanda, but her words had clearly fallen on deaf ears.
