Dinner was soon served and Gale shyly commented, ”I ordered meals according to your liking as I remembered.”

He was feeling uneasy, especially seeing how Gale kept smiling at Liam and she remembered to order food of his likings even after so many years.

”Let's eat then.” Liam said, and he took good care of his wife. Craig could not help but observe how Gale was reacting. He could see her sneaking glances at the couple in front of her, and also noticed how she would quickly retract her eyes from Liam and bite her lower lips if someone moved even a little. He could tell that she still had feelings for Liam and he felt extremely jealous .

He knew he must not feel that way since Gale had not only not confessed her love for him but even had not actually told him yet how she really felt about him.

At that moment, he felt like instead of being in a relationship, it looked more like they were simply enjoying each other's company and bodies, but he knew, for him it was more than that. He had started developing powerful emotions for her and it hurt him when Gale introduced him to Liam as Noah's assistant and not as her man.

He knew in his heart that he should not expect anything more right now, but it really annoyed him to see Gale looking like that at Liam. He could clearly see the adoration in Gale's eyes for him.

The dinner soon ended, and everyone finally left. Gale noticed Craig was too silent all throughout the dinner and even when they were inside the car he did not speak.

She wanted to ask why he was quiet. It was so unlike him, but she didn't know how to start the conversation.

”Did you enjoy the dinner?” She asked because the silence was making her uncomfortable.

”The food was okay.” He simply answered. Gale no longer said a word because Craig seemed too focused on driving. But Gale could sense something was wrong. He seemed to be not in the right mood!

Until they got home, she could feel Craig's coldness. He did not even ask her if she was sleepy already or the two of them to watch some movie together like they always did at this hour. Instead, he walked forward into the direction of his room.

Gale could no longer tolerate the awkward atmosphere between them, so when Craig was about to walk directly to his room, she grabbed his arm and asked, ”What's wrong? Why are you so quiet? Why do I feel like you're ignoring me?”

Craig turned around to face her and looked at her in the eyes. Yes, he was ignoring her because he was annoyed and too jealous of Liam but he did not know how to handle those emotions in front of her.

He did not even want to voice it out because of the fear that Gale would think he was being too clingy when their relationship had no specific name.
