Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Gary Skate Exposed (8)

Dad and Mom told him to call someone, so he called someone. Then he stopped talking. He really loves eating things like small Hot Pots. In addition to seafood, there are other things he loves to eat.

He even ordered a grilled steak.

When eating at a buffet, Axel eats as much as possible.

"Carolline, do you think there are a few stunning beautiful women in your hospital?" Phoebe Edwards’s words were all over the place, making people confused, and Carolline was no exception.

Carolline didn’t know why Phoebe asked such a question and could only respond according to her intentions, "The standard of beauty is different for everyone. If you ask for my opinion, I think there are a few who are indeed beautiful, especially the new doctors and nurses."

"Oh, no wonder. I thought so. All men are fickle. There are people who don’t want to serve as the Deputy Director of the Health Bureau and choose to be the dean of a small hospital. Bryan, what do you think about your good friend? Is he out of his mind?" Phoebe asked for Bryan Hawkins’ opinion.

As soon as Phoebe finished speaking, Carolline’s eyes darted back and forth between Bryan Hawkins and Gary Skate like a sharp sword. Were these two men actually good friends?

Carolline couldn’t understand what was going on here.

Gary left the position of Deputy Director of the Health Bureau to become a First Hospital Dean. This wasn’t a promotion but a demotion. As Phoebe said, if he hadn’t lost his mind, how could he possibly make such a choice?

Therefore, there must be something fishy about this situation.

Suddenly, both men stopped talking, and it took Phoebe a while to realize that the atmosphere was a bit off. She carefully looked at the two men, and their faces seemed to be slightly flushed, but it wasn’t easy to notice.

What on earth was going on?

Later, Phoebe realized that Carolline was glaring at the two men, who were blushing and lowering their heads shamefully. The expression on her face was changeable, and suddenly she stopped talking as well.

It wasn’t that Phoebe discovered something, but she felt that she had innocently revealed something to Carolline. It seemed that Bryan’s wife didn’t know these two men were good friends.

One was her husband, and the other was her immediate superior. Both were good friends, but Carolline didn’t know. That was indeed interesting.

Phoebe, who had caused all the trouble, suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere at the scene became even more awkward. Little foodie Axel was busy eating, and Phoebe, a big foodie herself, started eating with their stomachs wide open.

Only the three of them were left, looking at each other.

"Which one of you will explain first?" Carolline raised an eyebrow. After a long silence, she held her breath and forced herself to calm down.

If the two of them didn’t explain clearly, no matter how much she analyzed, she wouldn’t be able to figure it out.

"Well, honey, I’ll explain everything to you when we get home, okay?" Bryan Hawkins gently promised. If it had been just Gary, he would have explained it there, but Phoebe was there as well. And there were some things he didn’t want outsiders to know. This woman had completely disrupted his original plan, and he couldn’t stand her.

"No, explain it here. I want to hear it too." Phoebe quickly spoke up, not allowing Carolline to agree to Bryan’s request. She then said to Carolline, "Mrs. Hawkins, you’re really amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen the high and mighty Bryan be so accommodating to a woman. It seems that he really loves you so much. I don’t know how many ladies will be jealous at that time."

Phoebe was talking to herself, while Bryan and Gary both glanced at her with the whites of their eyes. And yet this woman had no self-awareness and continued to babble to Carolline.

Carolline was also a bit speechless, but Phoebe, who seemed to be enchanting, was actually very naive and straight-forward, saying whatever came to her mind.

"...Okay, we’ll talk about it when we get home." Carolline eventually compromised.

Carolline’s compromise, of course, was for her husband’s sake. Knowing that some people were sitting there hoping for a spectacle, and it would take more than a few words to explain this situation, it was better to wait until they got home and talk slowly.

As for Gary, he was too embarrassed to look at her now. However, she could imagine that Gary’s move from the position of Deputy Director to the First Hospital Dean must have something to do with her husband rather than his brain going haywire.

So, when they got home and heard Bryan’s explanation, everything would become clear.

"Hey, don’t flaunt your love like that. You two are singing in harmony, making us single dogs miserable. Do you still want us to live?" Phoebe saw how easily Carolline agreed to Bryan’s request and was slightly dissatisfied, feeling that Carolline was too submissive and always listened to her husband.

"What’s wrong with showing off their love? Hurry up and eat, don’t we still have to go watch a movie later?" Gary finally spoke up. After helping until now, it seemed he had only made things worse. He was too embarrassed to face Bryan anymore.

As for Carolline, he didn’t know how to face her anymore.

Temporarily, the matter was left at that, and Bryan took care of his wife and son. Phoebe watched the couple lovingly, her expression suddenly becoming a bit dreamy. It seemed that she really needed to have a serious relationship.

Unconsciously, Phoebe looked at Gary, who was eating his food with a cold and elegant expression. But to her, this man was not her type.

After having dinner, she decided to talk to him, so they could part ways and each go find the right person for themselves.

After dinner, the two groups of people went their separate ways. Phoebe left with Gary in his car. As soon as the two outsiders left, Carolline’s expression drooped.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Carolline didn’t want to say a word. There were outsiders present earlier, so she tried her best to save face. But once there were no outsiders, could she not be angry after being played like this?

It was great that Gary was actually her husband’s good friend but made things difficult for her in the hospital. What was his purpose? What was his intention?

Every time she went home and complained about how terrible their new dean was, her husband, who couldn’t bear to see her suffer even the slightest bit, always smiled and told her that if she didn’t want to do it, she could come home and be Mrs. Hawkins.

Thinking about it like this, Carolline naturally understood some things. If that was the case, she found the man beside her to be truly hateful.

Axel was sitting in the back seat, drowsy after eating and drinking to his fill.

Bryan Hawkins turned to look at his son first, then reached out to hold Carolline’s hand, intending to please his wife first. However, this time, Carolline didn’t appreciate it and directly shook off his hand.
