HEARTSTRINGS ON FIRE - Season 2 Episode 22

It’s two o’clock in the moming VIP room of the Night Queen.

Three guys sat around, their eyes fixed on a gloomy–faced Jared

Brayden Simonds yawned, “Mi Whitfield, what’s up with you today? You called us out in the dead of the night, and you’re not drinking or talking You’re not just here to piss us off, night?”

Mr. K touched his chin and said “Mr. Whitfield seems to be a little bit wrong today, it looks a bit like a br oken relationship”

Shawn slapped Mr. K on the head, “Stop being such a nerd‘ Didn’t you hear that Mamie proposed to Mr . Whitfield? I bet he dragged us here just to show off ”

Mr. K rubbed his head, “But Mr. Whitfield doesn’t look happy at all.”

With that, all eyes were back on Jared.

They started to study Jared’s expression seriously and finally agreed that this was a classic case of pre -wedding jitters.

Just then, the door to the room opened.

Ivan had arrived

Shawn hurriedly called out, “Ivan, come and see. Mr. Whitfield is messing with us. He’s about to get hit ched and dragged us single lads out to rub his pre–wedding jitters in our faces.”

Ivan strolled over casually and said nonchalantly, “He’s been married for three months already.”

Everyone was surprised.

“If he’s been married for so long, why is he proposing now?”

Ivan continued, “The one he married isn’t Mamie, but a 20–year–old girl.”

Seeing everyone’s shocked faces again, Ivan felt quite satisfied.

Everyone looked at Jared in disbelief. Unexpectedly, the supposedly woman– indifferent Mr. Whitfield had quietly tied the knot, and with a 20–year–old at that.

Brayden tutted, “You’re really shameless”

Shawn reminded him, “Brayden, isn’t your arranged fiancee also just turned 20?”

At this, Brayden was irritated, “Don’t bring her up. My family is forcing us to get married while she’s on summer break. I’m about to run away from home.”

Everyone sympathized with him. Apparently Brayden’s fiancee was quite unattractive. Having another woman by his side was no big deal, but marrying an ugly girl was just too much to swallow.

Just then, Jared suddenly said, “Heartless, ungrateful woman! How could she do this to me!”

Jared seemed to be talking to himself. He had been immersed in his own world all night, looking gloom y and staying silent.

His sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ivan, seemingly waiting for him to explain the meaning of Jared’s words.

Ivan didn’t let them down. He said, “His wife went on vacation abroad with another man for half a mont h, and when she got back, she wanted a divorce.”

Everyone gasped.

“It’s amazing!” Shawn exclaimed in disbelief.

Mr. K, however, said angrily, “Who is that woman? I’m gonna hack her computer and find out her secre ts. Jared, I want to avenge you.”

Shawn retorted, “You dare to leak his wife’s secrets? Aren’t you afraid of his revenge?”

Brayden slowly stood up, sat next to Jared, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted, “Buddy, life’s full of ups and downs. You have to fi gure it out. It’s no big

deal.”
