It was Stella! Unlike usual, Stella had a dark red dress on this time, though she retained her superior aura…
Regardless, Xavia was quick to say, “Cousin! Fancy bumping into you here! That dress is really beautiful… Have you gotten back together with Brother Mark?”
Though Stella was slightly startled to see Xavia there, she eventually pursed her lips before replying, “…We’ve filed for a divorce.”
“…H-huh? But I thought things were going well!” said the flabbergasted Xavia.
Laughing bitterly, Stella muttered, “I’ve given it some thought, and in the end, I concluded that no matter what I do, Mark will never truly fall for me. Either way, thank you for rooting for me. You truly are a good person. Also, I can safely say that Mark genuinely loves you, so now that Young Master Burton is disabled, why don’t you return to Mark’s side?”
Instantly going pale, Xavia replied, “W-why would you even suggest such a thing? He’d surely be upset if he heard that…”
Chuckling in response, the bitter woman then said, “I mean, you did move on from Mark before… What’s the issue with moving back to him now? Consider it, alright? I’ll be rooting for you.”
Just as she was about to hail a cab, however, she suddenly noticed that Mark was in the area! Remembering Bianca’s advice, she attempted to sneak off… but to her dismay, Mark had already seen her!
Within seconds, he was standing before her and asking, “Shopping here, Xavia? That aside, did you see your cousin…?”
“…Yeah, she was on the third floor… If you hurry, you could catch up to her.”
