The Bored Immortal

Jessie shook her head with a smile, "Aww, no, Lucien, no. Actually, we, or at least I am quite jealous that Taya has such a charming and sweet ex-brother-in-law. I mean, we don't see in-laws keeping in touch with each other after they separate. It's so rare."

"And that's why we envy you two, hehe," Mary added.

"You guys are making me blush. If you three were my college seniors, I would have already called dibs on you all if you had flattered me like this, haha," Viktor said with a wink, only to receive a pinch from Taya again.

The three women smiled foolishly, hearing his words though they knew he was kidding.

Still, Jessie bashfully said, "Lucien, you don't have to flirt with us, old ladies. I am sure you already have a young beauty within your arms, hehe."

Sarah frowned, not liking the fact that Jessie included her into the "old women" category.

Viktor chuckled as he shook his head, "Oh, not at all, haha. I am a single man leading a simple life. And besides, who says you three are old? Age is just a number mankind came up with to judge the things we could do according to it. I believe we should not be constrained by it because at some point we realize that this number stopped us from doing many things we wanted to do."

Taya's eyes became glazed hearing his words, as her mind slipped into deeper thoughts while the women felt enlightened by his words as they thought back to some of their younger days.

Viktor continued with a slight laugh, "Heck, Jessie and Mary, if only you two weren't married, I would have gladly picked you two up for a nice date. And Sarah, seeing how hot you are, I am sure you have a handsome hunk waiting for you back home. Otherwise, what a pity…"

"Wahh!"

"Sheesh!, Lucien, you are the one making us blush, hehe," Jessie and Mary cutely howled like teenage girls, much to Taya's annoyance, who shot Viktor a glance to indirectly ask him, 'Why the hell are you flirting with my married friends? You better not try anything with them!'

Jessie and Mary knew it was just a joke, but they still couldn't help but feel flattered, especially when someone so handsome and young was saying these things.

Sarah eagerly said, "No, Lucien. You flatter me too much. I am single...unfortunately or fortunately."

Denys squinted his eyes, hearing Sarah's words, and asked, "Sarah, you were telling me about my gift, right? What—"

"Oh, I will just give it to you later, Denys," Sarah hurriedly said before turning to Lucien, much to Denys' shock.

Viktor continued to converse with the three ladies while Taya could only helplessly watch on silently while smiling at times. However, she was inwardly hoping that these people would rather finish eating than talking.

Denys and Sean were on the same page as Taya since they felt as if they were forgotten, with Lucien taking all the limelight.

It was as if these women could only see Lucien as the only man, and they were considered as some bees flying around.

"Ahem, I will go wash up and come," Taya said and kicked Viktor's leg subtly.

"Uhm, I will also wash up. You guys enjoy the dessert. You too, Denys and Sean," Viktor winked as he followed Taya.

"My...what a sweet guy he is…" Jessie said with a smile as she looked in their direction.

"And hot at the same time. But you are married and even got kids. So, better not try anything, hehe," Mary added with a chuckle.

"Hmph, I am not the only one who is married and having kids am I?" Jessie playfully said.

"I guess Sarah is the winner here. Right, Sarah?" Jessie asked with a nudge.

"Oh, no, please. I am sure he is all over Taya. I mean, it's so obvious that those two are inseparable. I am sure something is going on between them," Sarah said in a defensive tone.

Mary nodded in agreement, "You are right. We should interrogate Taya tomorrow and get all the answers. She did us wrong by hiding a secret lover."

"Especially her ex-brother-in-law...haa...how romantic and spicy. She surely has been having it good all this time, eh? I guess we will find out from here soon. Remember, tomorrow we shouldn't let her go till she tells the truth," Jessie said with narrowed eyes.

"Of course, of course. This is the news of the century. Taya getting back into romance? That could make millions of men go crazy, hahah…"

"Ahem...uh...Sean, so how's your family doing these days?" Denys asked casually.

Mary stifled her smile as she heard Denys clearing his throat and realized that she and her two friends had forgotten all about these two poor men.

Jessie had an awkward expression when she also realized this and grimaced when she looked at Maya, feeling quite bad that they had already started matching up Lucien with Taya when all this while they forgot about Denys, their poor friend.

And that was not all. They even forgot that this was supposed to be his birthday celebration, and they even almost finished eating their food without even wishing him their good wishes before eating.

Sarah also felt quite bad, especially when she had gone to a lot of trouble to impress Denys. But right now, she couldn't help occasionally look in the direction Lucien went as she felt that maybe trying her chances with a younger guy might be better.

But then, thinking about how Lucien was jobless, she had second thoughts since, based on his casual dressing style, she didn't feel like he was rich or anything.

Compared to him, she knew how abundantly rich and influential Denys was and felt that, in the longer run, Denys was worth chasing for.

But at the same time, she felt that she could have a nice fling with Lucien in the meanwhile and maybe even meet him occasionally after getting married.

Before she knew it, she was already making plans for an affair post-marriage.

Taya searched around for the washroom, and when she found it, she saw Viktor following behind her and snorted, "Hmph, why did you follow me? You should have gotten more comfortable with those three women."

Viktor smiled as he got closer, "Come on. No need to be angry. I was just making them comfortable. But you know that I am the most comfortable with you, and that's why I am here."

"Spit it out, Viktor. What do you want? I don't want you following me into the washroom even if...it's for washing your hands or any other excuse you could think of," Taya felt that she might be in danger if she involuntarily opened up an opportunity for him to do something naughty.

Viktor raised his brows, "Excuse? I am here for you to keep up your end of the bargain. Your blood," He said with a sly smile.
