Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 248: Meanwhile, Keith and Jameson, privy to the truth, found considerable amusement in Benson's message to their four-person group chat. His words practically vibrated with excitement: "Oh my God! You won't believe what I witnessed! Ethan was accompanying a woman to her prenatal appointment! Oh my God, what's happening? Is he married? This is beyond comprehension!" Noting his assistant's growing distress, Benson grudgingly entered the van for their hotel return. Had he not been scheduled to depart that evening, Benson would have insisted on drinks with his two friends.

Keith's response appeared in the group chat: "Really? So Ethan's been busy. Who's the mystery woman?" "Quite impressive," Jameson added. Perched on his hotel bed, Benson's fingers flew across his phone screen. "This is unbelievable, right? Who could she be? She must be extraordinary! I checked-definitely not Callie Higgins. This woman carried herself with far more reserve." "Did you catch a glimpse of her face?" Keith inquired. "No, just sensed it. She's undoubtedly stunning.

In all my years in entertainment, I've never encountered such a remarkable presence!" "You have discriminating taste," Jameson commented. "Indeed, though somewhat oblivious," Keith added. Benson continued puzzling over the woman's identity, oblivious to any underlying meaning. Among their acquaintances, no one matched that woman's charm-not even within the entertainment industry. As he scratched his head in confusion, Ethan's message appeared: "She's my wife." . Benson's world tilted on its axis. Two more notifications quickly followed. Keith commented, "Yes, Mrs.

Brooks indeed." Jameson echoed, "True." Benson sat frozen in shock. Wasn't Ethan supposed to marry Callie? The engagement arrangement between the Higgins and Brooks families had been confirmed before his departure. Could Ethan be involved in an affair? With trembling fingers, Benson carefully typed his response. "Keith and Jameson, you both knew? And accepted it?" Benson's upbringing had been steeped in tradition, with his family's opposition to his dreams of an entertainment career culminating in near-violent confrontations.

Despite their resistance, he had struck out alone, carrying nothing but determination. To everyone's astonishment, the passing years had transformed him into a respected figure in the industry. His moral compass remained unwavering-marriage represented a lifelong commitment, and betrayal of those vows ranked among the gravest transgressions. Now, confronted with his close friend's apparent indiscretion, Benson found himself drowning in uncertainty. . . .
