Haley was a little famous in J City and he knew the grave news there well. So he paid attention to the news after the affair between Ashley and Andrew was released.
At first, when he saw the pictures of Ashley and Andrew, he didn't think much about them or even think about telling Duncan.
Yet, when he saw the next day, however, Andrew's tweet with a picture of his marriage certification that had Ashley's name on it. Well, that was something to go see Duncan for.
Haley knew Duncan liked Ashley so much that even Duncan hadn't realized it himself. Moreover, in his mind, Ashley was almost his sister-in-law. He absolutely didn't expect this to happen.
Thus, when Haley read the news, he couldn't just sit calmly and do nothing. He rushed to the villa in an attempt to meet Duncan.
Nobody was allowed to drive into the villa. They could only walk in. Thus, Haley ran as fast as he could without stopping to find and tell Duncan immediately. To everyone else, they had no idea at all why Haley was rushing around so desperately.
Taking a deep breath, Haley fixed his eyes on Duncan, who didn't seem to be aware of it at all. Then he took out his phone and clicked on Andrew's Weibo account, "Duncan, things are getting out of hand in J City! As you see, if you don't go back now, my 'sister-in-law' will be taken away from you by someone else!"
He clicked on the photo and showed it to Duncan. The two marriage certificates looked authentic and the wedding photo even more.
Duncan was quite familiar with the woman smiling in the photo. He knew her well. Well, at least he thought he did.
Seeing her in a wedding photograph leaning against another man with such a sweet smile on her face, Duncan felt something was scratching his chest.
It felt like there were a lot of ants crawling on his heart, itching and biting. He didn't know why, but when he saw that she was with another man taking a selfie together, he felt like snatching her back.
Seeing Duncan's eyes almost glued to this photo, Haley could not help but say, "Duncan..."
Taking back his gaze, Duncan asked, "Where did you get this marriage certificate photo?"
"It's hard for me to explain to you in such a short time. Let us go back to
ight here?"
Haley was rendered speechless. Duncan's harsh words broke his heart.
Haley had come all the way from J City to that remote place just so he could inform Duncan of the news instead of Duncan finding out randomly. In the end, it seemed Haley became more of the guy to be blamed instead of praised. It didn't make sense, but there it was.
'Okay, okay. You are the man who is suffering emotional trauma, so I don't want to make a fuss with you temporarily.' Haley said to himself as he got out of the car in silence. After taking a few steps, he suddenly realized that, 'Ah, it's my car.
How could I let Duncan take charge and change everything?'
After a brief thought, Haley finally decided to leave.
What happened today was enough for Duncan. Haley didn't want to bicker with him anymore. Anyway, Duncan was his best friend, he just wanted to help him, that's all.
Duncan didn't enter the villa until Haley left.
Nancy was wiping the table when she saw Duncan come in. She looked back but didn't see anyone else.
She stepped forward and stood in front of Duncan, "Duncan, you're back."
Duncan nodded and said 'yes'.
"Auntie Nancy, I'm going upstairs."
"Fine, Duncan," said Nancy.
Nancy wanted to ask more, but she gave up when she noticed the tiredness on Duncan's face.
Looking at Duncan's back as he walked up the stairs, Nancy wondered, 'I remember Duncan went to the mountain villa with his mother. So, why did he come back alone?'
