Annie burst into laughter. "Look at how freaked out you are! I was just testing your boyfriend. He's not worth it if it's that easy to split you two."
Francine pouted. She was obviously not happy at being teased.
On the other hand, Chester smiled and put his arm around Francine while gently addressing Annie, "I know her well. She may have a temper, but I'm not scared."
Annie raised her glass to him and smiled. "Well then, I hope you'll be able to marry her soon."
Chester grabbed a cocktail from the nearby self-serve bar and raised it in response. "Thanks, I'll give it my best shot."
Annie took a sip of wine with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She then patted Francine's shoulder and said, "Not a bad choice for a boyfriend! Make sure you cherish him!" Francine glared and scoffed at her. She would have kicked up a fuss if it were not for the fact that it was Annie's wedding day.
Annie left them to join Aaron in welcoming guests.
With his arm around Francine's shoulders, he guided her in another direction. "Let's go check out that dessert station over there. You're a fan of them, right?"
Francine was still in a bad mood due to Annie's words, so she shook her head and said sadly, "I don't want to go. I don't have any appetite right now."
Sensing her sadness, Chester leaned down and asked, "Hey, what's wrong?"
Francine pursed her lips tightly, refusing to answer.
Chester patiently waited for a moment before saying, "You have to let me know if something's on your mind. Otherwise, how can I make it all better? I'm not a mind reader, you know." Francine still chose to remain silent.
Chester let go of her shoulder with an air of resignation. "Well, it seems like I'm the reason for your bad mood, so I'll go home now."
Francine was taken aback. She immediately grabbed his hand and begged, "Don't... Don't go."
Chester paused in his tracks and turned back to her, asking, "Are you ready to talk now?"
Francine nodded sincerely. "I... Is my temper that bad?"
Chester chuckled as he finally got to the root of her frustration. "What do you think?"
Francine pouted unhappily. "I'll work on it. I... I've been this way for so many years, so you have to give me some time to change completely."
Chester frowned helplessly. "Who said I want you to change?"
Francine looked up at him. "So you won't leave me just because I have a bad temper?"
