Annabelle pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, I could understand your feelings."
"I knew Annabelle would forgive me," Ariana exclaimed, her eyes welling up with excitement.
Annabelle glanced lightly and felt a bit tired. She then said to Kendrick, "My eyes are uncomfortable, I need to rest early."
Kendrick patted her hand and said, "Okay, wait a little longer."
Then he turned to Ariana and asked, "I heard Seamus say that you were preparing to participate in a singing competition, so how did you suddenly come to Glubia?"
Ariana blinked her eyes and then shyly tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Actually, I came to see my fiancé, but I unexpectedly saw you, Ken and Annabelle, at the banquet. I immediately followed and wanted to take the opportunity to explain the previous incident and hope that you can forgive my immaturity."
As for this fiancé, he was actually someone who was introduced to her by someone else recently. Tha
That night, the two of them didn’t manage to finish what they had started in the theater dressing room.Because Gauge had to fly overseas, they had very little time to be together. So, after spending about ten minutes in the dressing room, they left the theater.Before that, Kamila had already called Korbin to break up with him. Korbin, of course, wasn’t willing to let her go that easily. He demanded a reason. Kamila told him that she had found out that the necklace wasn’t actually bought by him. But it wasn’t just that. The main reason was that she had realized that if she had been with him just out of gratitude, but wasn’t really in love with him, then that would be irresponsible, both to him and herself.Korbin admitted to the necklace deception but told her, “I lied about the necklace, but my feelings for you are real.”Kamila sighed, feeling a wave of guilt rising within her. She wanted to say more, but her p
Gauge told Kamila everything that happened a month ago, everything Anya had said to him in the bar.Honestly, he hadn’t planned to explain it in such detail, especially not now, when he just wanted to be with Kamila. He had spent years in torment, finally making up his mind to come to her. Then, he had that incident with Anya, and after breaking off the engagement with her, he had planned to come to Kamila. But because of a business trip, he had to wait for over a month.Now, finally seeing her, Gauge actually didn’t want to say a word. He just wanted to hold her tight—of course, it wasn’t just holding her...But Kamila insisted on him explaining.If he didn’t tell her everything, she wouldn’t believe him, so he had no choice but to recount it all.As Gauge spoke to Kamila, his thoughts drifted back to the night Anya had proposed breaking up with him.At the time, he had planned to suggest breaking off the
The weather in South City was pleasant—warm during the day, cool at night, with a gentle breeze that brushed against their faces, making it a comfortable evening.Anya seemed to enjoy the moment, her lips curled into a faint smile. Though he couldn’t tell what she was thinking, he knew she was in a good mood.Gauge wanted several times to bring up their relationship but held back each time. They walked in silence, side by side. It was their first time walking together like this.Inside, Gauge felt a rising sense of guilt toward the girl beside him.In the past, whenever he thought of Anya, his mind always went back to the time when she had nearly harmed Anna with her scheming. It happened back when they were still in college. The class had gone on a trip to Sliversand Resort, where they encountered a lecherous boss. When Anna entered a bar, only the boss was there. Anya knew he had bad intentions but didn't warn Anna, only waiting to see her f
Kamila froze, staring at him in surprise.He glanced back at her: “Do you feel like you don’t recognize me anymore?”Kamila opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.It finally dawned on her that the man in front of her was no longer the same young man she had known.He chuckled bitterly: “Don’t say that. I hardly recognize myself either.”“Is it because of work pressure?” she asked.Gauge looked at her deeply and replied, “No.”“Then… what is it?”Before she could finish speaking, Gauge was already standing in front of her.Kamila tilted her head up, gazing at the man in front of her, confused. What had happened? Did it have something to do with Anya?Kamila had heard some gossip about Gauge and Anya’s engagement. She knew Gauge hadn’t been willing, but after everything that had happened, he had no choice but to take

The one speaking was none other than Kendrick's best man, Seamus.Accompanying Seamus was his wife, Zara Xavier.When they arrived, Anna quickly stood up from Kendrick’s lap and sat beside him, her face slightly flushed from being caught.Kendrick held her hand, gently squeezing it as if to comfort her, then said to Seamus, "It’s us who should learn from you two. You've known each other for over ten years, right? Your kids are already a few years old, and yet you’re still as sweet as when you were dating!"Seamus sighed, "Yeah, we've known each other for twelve years, broke up for a few years, and the time we spent together was short."As he spoke, Seamus helped Zara pull out a chair, and they both sat down.Zara used the opportunity to greet both Kendrick and Anna briefly.Zara was very slim, with an air of cool elegance, but her demeanor was poised and straightforward. She seemed like the kind of person who was candid and unpretentious.Anna had heard from Kendrick that Zara graduat
