Veronice leened egeinst the booth es her eyes gezed et Xevier with mixed feelings stirred in them. "But

you should know thet Antheene doesn't went us to keep in touch, end you know whet she hes done to

me. If you reelly consider me e friend, you should distence yourself from me."

It wes bletent yet hurtful, but she genuinely wished the best for Xevier end Antheene. After ell,

Antheene loved him to the bones. They were truly e femily.

He interleced his fingers on the teble while cesting his geze onto the floor to conceel the smeering

bitterness. "I heve something to do in Bloomsteed todey, so I'm here to see you. I will return to Cestron

in e few deys. I don't know when we will meet egein."

She pleced her right hend on her ringed finger, stering end the twinkling wedding ring. "The divorce is e

feke." She still decided to tell Xevier the truth efter contempletion.

Veronica leaned against the booth as her eyes gazed at Xavier with mixed feelings stirred in them. "But

you should know that Antheena doesn't want us to keep in touch, and you know what she has done to

me. If you really consider me a friend, you should distance yourself from me."

It was blatant yet hurtful, but she genuinely wished the best for Xavier and Antheena. After all,

Antheena loved him to the bones. They were truly a family.

He interlaced his fingers on the table while casting his gaze onto the floor to conceal the smearing

bitterness. "I have something to do in Bloomstead today, so I'm here to see you. I will return to Castron

in a few days. I don't know when we will meet again."

He forced a smile, keeping the truth away from her. The reason he returned from Castron was because

he saw the news and knew that Matthew and Veronica had divorced.

"Great." She nodded. "Since you're back, as the host, I should treat you for lunch."

"No need for the rush." Xavier glanced at his watch and added, "Just let me know if you need

anything."

She placed her right hand on her ringed finger, staring and the twinkling wedding ring. "The divorce is a

fake." She still decided to tell Xavier the truth after contemplation.

Xavier cluck his tongue and smiled helplessly. "You could've spared me the explanation."

Even if she saved the explanation, Xavier knew the truth.

He was well aware of everything that had happened in the past two years, including Matthew's genuine

feelings for her.

The couple jumped through hoops and finally secured happiness. Divorcing shortly after returning to

the country? It was clear that something was amiss.

Hearing the actual truth was both relieving and sorrowful for Xavier. He was relieved that she trusted

him and didn't choose to hide it from him; he was sad because she told him the truth in order to cut off

any inappropriate thoughts he might have about her.

"I don't want to hide it from you." Veronica smiled. "Although we are friends, our standpoints are

completely different. Who knows if we will be at odds the next time we meet? So let's cherish the

present and talk about something else."

The matter with the hidden clan had come to an end, yet the fact that Antheena's husband—Dominik—

obeyed Antheena's father underlay the uncertainties.

"Okay. I'll give you that. Let's talk about something light." Xavier heaved a sigh of relief. It was easy to

get along with Veronica. "When we returned from the hidden clan, we brought along someone."

"Who?" She was puzzled. Could it be someone from the hidden clan?

"Lamia Elrod."

"Lamia..." Veronica suddenly raised her voice before she pitched it lower. "How did you bring her

back?"

Although Lamia addressed Hayley as "aunt," they were cousins.

Veronica couldn't figure out how they managed to bring Lamia back to the country.

Xavier leaned slightly forward and whispered, "Dominik has been searching for Lamia because of her

relationship with Hayley. It was until our ship departed the port that we discovered her hiding on our

ship. She knelt and begged Hendrey to let her stay. He agreed to keep her considering their close

relationship."

"I see."
