But it seemed to primarily engulf Duncan, leaving Craig relatively unfazed.
"So, what about it?" "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" It was clear as day to anyone who wasn't blind. Aurora had been glancing outside every now and then during dinner.
And who was outside? The very man standing before him.
Then, after a quick look at her phone, she had hurried out.

It wasn't hard to guess who Aurora had gone to see.
"Ha, do I owe you an explanation?" "Don't you?" Duncan stepped forward, and although he was slightly shorter than Craig, his presence was undeniably strong.
After all, he was a privileged son of a wealthy family, his attire and aura of refinement something Craig couldn't match.
Especially since he was dressed in mere casuals today, a simple tee and jeans.
"If it weren't for your meddling, Aurora might have agreed to date me! Honestly, I can't for the life ofunderstand why she would choose you!" Duncan had done his homework on Craig.
A truck driver! The words "background" seemed almostical when applied to him.
No background whatsoever.

Such words, even though he knew most of Aurora's friends probably thought the same, were a direct hit to his pride when said to his face.
Even if they were true.
"Are you done?" Craig was visibly struggling to keep hisposure.
el "Of course not!" Duncan scoffed, sizing him up with a disdainful look, "If I were you, I'd call off the engagement now. Save yourself the lifelong embarrassment!" en.kikistories || || ...
"Don't you feel humiliated? Just imagine, at your wedding, what will the guests think?" Besides thinking Aurora had lost her mind, they'd mock Craig for reaching beyond his grasp.
"Done now?" Craig's jaw worked as he gritted his teeth.
He was holding back, not because.
he was naturally patient, but because he didn't want Aurora to find out if he resorted to violence. She was pregnant and would be worried. en.kikistories "Truly a saint." Duncan clapped sarcastically, his tone sharp, "Seems like being broke really doese with a thick skin!" After saying that, he even dared to pat Craig on the shoulder!
