I did find it quite unusual.


    "Well, I appreciate your efforts," I said apologetically.


    "This time, it was a matter of time constraints. I was afraid you''d be anxious, thinking I was not getting things done. So, I had toe and see you first." Theo chuckled.


    I smiled and quickly replied, "That''s true. After all, we''re old ssmates, both here in Foswood. It''s strange how we''ve grown so distant. How would I have found you guys if I hadn''t run into Michelle?" "Hey, we''ve actually been keeping an eye on you recently! But..." Theo hesitated.


    "That''s normal. The situation between me and Matthew has caused quite a stir in the city," I awkwardlyughed.


    Not wanting to dwell on the topic of Matthew, I changed the subject. "Beatrice''s situation does seem a bit suspicious."


    "At least we found her address. It''s just a matter of time before we get some information. You can rest assured. I''ll continue investigating the next time I go," Theo assured me.


    Perhaps he sensed that I was deeply concerned about this matter.


    "I''m determined to find out about her. After all, Beatrice is also our ssmate. I thought about asking someone from my business partners to investigate, but I was afraid they would deceive me. So, I think I''ll make another trip next time," I exined.


    I hadn''t paid much attention to Theo during our school days, but unexpectedly, he was reliable.


    "Thank you so much, Theo." I quickly expressed my gratitude. "It was an impulse on my part. I miss her a lot, so when I saw Michelle that day, I asked her if she had any news about Beatrice."


    Theo waved dismissively. "Don''t bother asking her. She''s not someone who does serious business."


    It seemed Theo had a very unfavorable opinion of Michelle.


    "In fact, no one paid any attention to her at that ss reunion other than when she said she found you," Theo revealed.


    I was a bit surprised.


    To rify, Theo quickly exined, "Michelle is even more outrageous than she was in college. She''s only interested in personal gain and will do anything for it."


    I nodded. "She was like that during school, too, and she hasn''t changed."C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "The things she did at the reunion were too embarrassing. All of us were embarrassed. That''s also one of the reasons I came to see you today." Theo blushed a bit as he brought up this topic, looking at me with an awkward smile.


    "Don''t think too much. After so many


    years without seeing you guys, it''s


    normal for me to pick up the tab. Honestly I''m very grateful that Michelle managed to contact everyone. Otherwise, it would have been too long since Ist saw my ssmates," I said.


    "I know you''re sincere, but what she did was quite shameful. After all, there were only a few of us guys. What kind of behavior is that? So when we discussed it, we thought that if you had time, we could get together separately and have a good chat.


    "We''ll pay for it this time. After so many years as ssmates, if there''s anything we can help each other with, we can form a group. We spent four years together. This kind of friendship runs deep. It''s better than being blind in this unfamiliar city, don''t you think?"
