Chapter 602

When the three of them had been in university, they had fallen in love with the same woman.

At the beginning, they hadn’t realized it. They had even helped each other come up with ideas on how to pursue her That had only lasted until a get–together where they had pointed at a student on the stage and told each other that they liked her. That had been the moment they had found out.

The news had come like a lightning strike out of the blue.

“When I got to know that we liked the same person back then, I honestly felt like dying.” Talking about the past, Jude lost the stern expression on his face. Instead, he looked old and doddery.

“I didn’t know what the two of them were thinking. But seeing as we all split up after that, they must have felt the same way.”

After finding out that they had been in love with the same woman, they had drifted apart.

Although they had agreed to compete fairly, they soon found that the others had been secretly sending gifts.

With that, the agreement among them had been broken, and they had started to fight among each other openly.

Jude didn’t even remember what had started their first fight. He only remembered how they had all gone to the field.

The taunts of their coursemates, coupled with their own resentment, had driven them into a no-

holds–barred fight.

But that fight hadn’t improved their relationship. Instead, it had caused their friendship to reach a freezing point.

The woman had soon found out that the three of them had been fighting because of her.

Upon reasling that, she had withdrawn herself from the university and gone home, unable to bear the gossip on campus.

“After getting the news, I decided that I had to go see her during the summer holidays.” Jude’s eyes shone with light.

“Back then, your father had the same idea. So when we both showed up at the airport, we got into another fight to stop each other from going He added, “It wasn’t like the fight on campus. There, the professors and other students all knew who we were.

“But the people at the airport didn’t know that we were sons of the Morrison family. They called the police and got your grandfather involved. He…”

At this point, Jude looked at Kirk and asked, “Did your father tell you about this?”

Kirk shook his head.

Not only had Ivan never talked about his grandfather, but he also hadn’t ever mentioned the past before If Jude hadn’t been telling him the story now, Kirk would never have known that his father had experienced dramatic thing in his youth.

“He was a scary old man. Even bringing him up now makes me feel a little afraid.”

Jude kept looking at Kirk. As he did, he suddenly laughed. “Come to think of it, you look very much like him when you don’t smile. Anyway ”

Jude inhaled deeply before continuing, “When he had found out that we had been brawling because of a woman, he had been outraged.

We had both been beaten after we got home. Afterward, we had been confined to a bed for more than a month.

Even after that, we had barely been able to walk around. That had been when we had received some great news.”

Abruptly, Jude closed his mouth.

However, Kirk didn’t urge him to keep going. Instead, he silently waited.

In truth, Kirk could already guess what happened next even without Jude saying anything.

“That had beeen-” Jude was incomparably forlorn.

“We had gotten news that Caroline’s grandfather had married that woman. When we had found out, we had been flabbergasted.

“We had only realized afterward that Benjamin had followed the woman back after she had left the university.”

He chuckled “Don’t you think it’s funny? While we had been beating each other bloody, he had already gotten the girl.”

“Was that woman’s name Giselle Cassidy?”

Jude looked up in astonishment, his eyelashes quivering. It was as if he had seen the light after straying from it for so long.
