Chapter 1373: Chapter 1473: Seeds of Suspicion

Ryan Walyon.

Ryan Walyon entered the restaurant with his assistant, both stopping in their tracks upon noticing Watt Bennet and Summer Sutton sitting over there.

Summer Sutton noticed him too, greeted him across a few tables, "Jimmy, you’re here too! Do you want to..."

She intended to ask if he wanted to join them, after all, they were old acquaintances.

But before she could speak, she received a disdainful look from Watt Bennet.

Summer Sutton helplessly retracted her unfinished words.

"What a coincidence." Ryan Walyon led his assistant over to her and greeted her as well.

"Yeah, I came here with Watt Bennet after finishing work." Summer Sutton said.

"Hmm." Ryan Walyon responded to her lightly, then turned his gaze to Watt Bennet beside her.

Since Ryan Walyon had known of Watt Bennet, Watt Bennet had always worn a mask.

He had met Watt Bennet countless times yet never seen his true face.

Even during Watt Bennet and Summer Sutton’s first wedding, Watt Bennet wore a mask.

Ryan Walyon didn’t find this particularly odd before.

With prominent figures, not wanting to expose their faces to the camera constantly is understandable.

But wearing a mask even at your wedding, or with your wife every day, isn’t that a bit odd?

Out of confusion, Ryan Walyon couldn’t help but look at Watt Bennet’s face intently.

His gaze fell on Watt Bennet’s face, stayed there, with no intention of moving away.

Watt Bennet remained indifferent, showing no reaction to Ryan Walyon’s gaze.

The one who became uneasy was Summer Sutton, feeling her heart racing.

She turned her attention discreetly to observe Ryan Walyon and then Watt Bennet.

Despite them being brothers, Summer Sutton feared that Ryan Walyon’s intense scrutiny might reveal something.

Compared to her tension, Watt Bennet seemed calm; as the waiter brought their dishes, he calmly continued to prepare his food.

Having cooked it well, he picked some up for Summer Sutton.

Ryan Walyon stared at Watt Bennet for quite a few minutes before abruptly asking, "Mind if I sit with you?"

Summer Sutton was unsure what Ryan Walyon’s intentions were; as she hesitated to respond, Watt Bennet bluntly replied, "Mind."

His refusal was straightforward, not caring about offending anyone.

In Northtown, the Walyon Family’s status was well-known; for someone to speak like this to a Walyon, it was a first.

"You can leave now." Watt Bennet issued a more direct order for Ryan Walyon to go.

Ryan Walyon’s expression changed.

He usually had the demeanor of a refined wealthy heir, not showing emotions easily, but Watt Bennet’s blunt dismissal challenged his composure.

After taking several deep breaths, he turned and headed to the reserved private room upstairs.

Summer Sutton exhaled a long sigh once Ryan Walyon’s figure disappeared.

Watt Bennet acted as if nothing had happened, continuing casually with his meal.

He piled Summer Sutton’s plate into a small mountain, urging her, "Focus on eating!"

"Got it." Summer Sutton snapped back to reality and started eating what Watt Bennet had given her.

After a couple of bites, recalling Ryan Walyon’s gaze, she placed her chopsticks aside.

"When are you planning to go back?" Turning her head, she looked at Watt Bennet.

She meant returning to the Walyon Family.
