It was not long before Yelena arrived. As soon as she got Yara’s call, she rushed over. The two of them had not seen each other for a month. The moment Yelena arrived, she threw herself into Yara’s arms.“Yara!”Yara’s expression softened as she caught her.“Yelena, you’re here.”They sat together and talked for a few minutes. When it was time to say goodbye, Yelena could not help feeling guilty.“I’m sorry, Yara. I shouldn’t have let my brother come after you.

She dropped everything and immediately bought a ticket to fly out.Marcus, of course, heard the news from Yelena.His hand paused for a moment before he lowered his eyes and asked casually, pretending not to care.“Getting married already?”Over the past year, he had often heard about Yara’s life from Yelena. He knew she had a boyfriend who loved her. He never expected her to get married. He could not quite put his feelings into words.
