Daniel hurriedly said, "James, let Chris sit down first."
Only then did James stopped asking.
Christopher walked to his seat and sat down. Daniel handed him a glass of wine.
He held it in his hand. Faced with James' question, Christopher didn't show any emotion on his face. He just said, "James, I remember that I didn't promise you."
James was rendered speechless by Christopher. Indeed, he didn't make any promises that night, but he thought they were like brothers. It was just a small favor, why would they need a verbal agreement?
"Even if you didn't promise me, but you didn't object to it either. Chris, I think our brotherhood is more important than anything else. Why did you help an outsider instead? You..."
"James, calm down."
Seeing that he was getting more agitated, Daniel tried to calm him.
"How can I calm down? I was so close to beating that bastard to death. But now, Chris has helped him to live again. How can I swallow that indignity?"
