As a result, she couldn’t even respond to Gia’s question.
At that moment, three handsome men approached with glasses in hand and took their seats. They leisurely observed the women’s actions as if they were watching a show.
When their eyes accidentally met, Lola quickly turned her head away.
‘This is driving me crazy!’
The sudden appearance of Dylan Eve was overwhelming enough, but the three men were all familiar faces, making Lola feel even more uncomfortable.
‘Isn’t that guy Gia Eve’s brother?’
But why was he pretending not to know her?
Nurse Sasha, who had been sipping her mojito, looked back and forth between Dylan and Gia, puzzled. Eventually, unable to find an answer to her curiosity, she tilted her head and asked.
“Wait. Isn’t that guy Gia Eve’s brother? I’m sure it is.”
“I was trying to pretend not to know, but you just blurted it out!”
Gia clicked her tongue and said quietly, but everyone heard her clearly.
Andy and Tadeo chuckled, while Frank wore a mysterious expression, as if he was about to laugh. Only Dylan appeared indifferent.
“Your brother doesn’t come to places like this often. Why are you here? Seriously! Why did you have to come here of all places?”
“Wow, you really are Gia Eve, aren’t you?”
Gia asked Dylan, but Tadeo, with a delighted expression, responded first, followed by Andy’s teasing.
“You’ve grown a lot since I last saw you. It’s nice to see you again, Gia.”
As soon as Andy finished speaking, Tadeo immediately added.
“You seem to have become even prettier.”
“But who are you guys?”
Gia tilted her head as the two unfamiliar men spoke as if they knew her well.
“This is really disappointing. How can you not remember us? We used to visit Dylan’s house often when we were in school.”
“Oh! You don’t remember us? Should we introduce ourselves again?”
Although there were seven people sitting at the table, only three were speaking, while the other four listened quietly like an audience.
Lola, who felt extremely uncomfortable in this situation, kept her head down to avoid making eye contact with the men.
“We’re the flower boy quartet. I’m the humorous Andy.”
“I’m the fun Tadeo.”
Andy pointed to Frank, who was quietly sipping tequila, introducing him.
“And this guy is the stoic Frank.”
“You don’t need to introduce your brother, do you?”
At Tadeo’s words, Andy pointed at Dylan and added.
“He’s the prickly older brother.”
What kind of introduction is this?
Unable to hold back, Gia burst into laughter. Nurse Sasha also laughed, finding it amusing.
Lola merely twitched her lips. Dylan, who had been watching her every expression closely, leaned in and whispered in her ear.
“I didn’t expect you to come to a place like this when you said you were going to a gathering.”
Even though it was a simple statement, it sounded like a dangerous whisper in Lola’s ears.
Should she explain herself to him now?
Or should she leave this place with him right away?
In a moment of indecision, as Lola hesitated,
“You look really sexy today.”
Dylan whispered softly, placing his hand on her shoulder.
In that instant, Andy’s eyes widened in surprise.
‘When did they become so close to act so familiar with each other?’
No way.
Dylan doesn’t casually befriend women.
Could it be?
The memory of Dylan telling Professor Xavier that the woman he would marry was kind and good suddenly flashed in Andy’s mind.
And how Dylan had said that the professor’s personal doctor was exactly his type while glaring at her with eyes full of hostility.
He had also hurled harsh insults at him.
Now it made sense.
‘I didn’t know any of this!’
Even though he had a gut feeling about their relationship, Andy asked to confirm.
“Are you two acquainted? How do you know our professor’s personal doctor?”
“Uh!”
“How do you know each other? Please introduce us.”
Tadeo, looking quite surprised, urged for an answer.
Dylan gently wrapped his arm around Lola’s shoulder and introduced her honestly.
“She’s the woman I’m going to marry.”
“She’s the woman I’m going to marry.”
If he kept visiting the hospital frequently, it was only a matter of time before the sharp-eyed ones figured out the relationship between him and Lola.
In that case, Dylan thought it wouldn’t be bad to just be honest about it this time.
That way, Andy would also cleanly give up and no longer have any interest in Lola.
“Ha…!”
“Dylan Eve, you’re really sly!”
Even though Andy had already caught on to their relationship, he let out a sigh mixed with exasperation, while Tadeo shook his head in admiration at Dylan’s cunning nature.
Frank, as always, didn’t offer any particular commentary and simply watched the scene unfold.
‘That Andy must feel really awkward and embarrassed.’
