“Are you… still in love with Jackson?”
Tanya lifted snazzynovel.com eyes and looked at Jett in astonishment. “Huh?”
“Nothing,” Jett replied, thinking that snazzynovel.com did not hear him.
She was just about to speak when Jett got up to clean the lunchbox that snazzynovel.com had just eaten from. Honestly, snazzynovel.com was not entirely sure if snazzynovel.com was ever in love with Jackson. When one was looking through a veil of jealousy, everything was covered in falsehood. All snazzynovel.com wanted now was to have a smooth delivery and live out the rest of snazzynovel.com life in peace. Life was good now. She did not need anything else.

Tiffany was not the kind of person who could keep a secret. It did not take long before Arianne found out about Tanya’s condition as well.
Tiffany sounded confused on the phone. “Things were so great between the three of us. Now, just looking at each other feels awkward. If I really did hold a grudge against her, I would’ve hung up when I received snazzynovel.com call. At that time, it would’ve been a disaster. Thank goodness I didn’t hang up. Thank goodness both Jackson and I didn’t hesitate to rush over and send snazzynovel.com to the hospital.”
Arianne remained neutral. “We know each other, after all. Moreover, it was a serious matter. We’ll help out if we can, it’s not like snazzynovel.com has any other relatives. She called you because snazzynovel.com trusts you. Although you hated snazzynovel.com for what snazzynovel.com had done, you still helped her. Doesn’t this mean you miss the past as well?”
Tiffany did not deny this. Their friendship in the past was real, but the scheme and their quarrel were real as well.

After ending the call, Arianne rose to snazzynovel.com feet and got herself a glass of water from the water cooler.
Someone suddenly called out to her. “Arianne, someone’s here to see you in the lobby downstairs.”
Due to the momentary distractions, snazzynovel.com accidentally scalded snazzynovel.com hand with the hot water. She shrank back in pain as snazzynovel.com replied, “Okay. I’m on my way.”
She thought that it was a client so snazzynovel.com moved quickly. When snazzynovel.com arrived downstairs, snazzynovel.com discovered snazzynovel.com visitor was Will. She was at a loss for words since snazzynovel.com did not expect to see him. “Uh… You…”
Will smiled. “I know you’re working here so I thought I’d visit you. We were in a hurry when we ran into each other previously so we didn’t have to chat. I’ve changed my number, and I’ve lost Tiffie’s number as well. Can you please give me snazzynovel.com number? She’s pregnant, and it’s probably inconvenient for snazzynovel.com to meet me, but I’d like to call snazzynovel.com and speak to her. Also, are you free at noon? Would you like to have lunch? I’m leaving in two days. I’m not home too often, perhaps, we can catch up.”
Arianne could not refuse him. It was only to catch up, snazzynovel.com had no reason to reject him. Hence, snazzynovel.com agreed. “Okay. Call me during lunch. I’ll give you Tiffie’s number now. I told snazzynovel.com that you’ve returned, and snazzynovel.com has been complaining that you didn’t contact her. She’s probably going to nag at you.”
Will quickly left soon after.
There was still some time before the end of the first half of the day. Arianne was distracted. The burn on the back of snazzynovel.com hand stung, reminding snazzynovel.com of Will’s visit. She considered the fact that Mark would probably be upset if snazzynovel.com found out about snazzynovel.com lunch with Will. However, snazzynovel.com could not help but feel hopeful. Previously, all hopes of friendship with Will were destroyed due to Mark However, snazzynovel.com harbored no ill intention so snazzynovel.com did not need to feel guilty.
During lunch, snazzynovel.com packed up snazzynovel.com things and met up with Will. Will was already waiting in his car at the office building’s entrance. She deliberately avoided snazzynovel.com colleagues, afraid they would gossip about her. If that happened, it would be difficult for snazzynovel.com to explain herself.
After snazzynovel.com entered the car, Will brought snazzynovel.com to Tiffany’s favorite Chinese restaurant. They inadvertently realized that there were many places that contained memories of the trio. They were carefree and unrestrained during their youth. Unlike now, they were all shouldering the heavy burdens of life.
