Sensing her shock, Hanley simply stirred his coffee before adding, “Let’s be real, you only proposed to me because you wanted to get Neal’s attention… Or are you telling me that isn’t true?”
Watching as the panicking Fabiola went pale, Hanley clenched his fists a little before saying, “…Well, since you’ve achieved that goal, let’s not waste our time anymore. You can hand those papers to your lawyer once they’re signed. Adieu.”
Even after he had left, Fabiola found herself too shocked to even move a muscle. This… This had been the man who had greatly adored her just a day ago… How… How could he…?
As tears began streaming down her cheeks, her phone began ringing… It was a call from Lea.
“Hey, there’s a new restaurant downtown that’s totally your type! Want to go give it a try?”
When all she heard was sniffling, the worried Lea couldn’t help but add, “…Are you… crying? Fabiola, what’s wrong? Where are you?”
After telling her the location, Lea arrived in no time flat… and when she saw how pitiful her best friend was, Lea immediately clenched her fists before growling, “Who did this to you…?! Lead me to him! I’m beating him up! Hell, I’ll call Brother Maison too-”
“No… I… It’s just… Hanley suddenly asked for a divorce, and I…!”
“…Wait, what? When did you even get married?” replied the shocked Lea as she handed Fabiola some tissues.
Looking helplessly at her drunk friend, Lea muttered, “…Hey, I think it’s time we went home-”
“No! Since I’m still thinking about him, that means I’m not drunk enough yet! I’ll only leave once I’ve completely forgotten about him!”
Watching as her stubborn friend took another swig of wine, Lea couldn’t help but sigh. This girl was clearly in love with Hanley… Just why was she torturing herself with these lies…?
When Fabiola finally laid her head against the table, Lea pursed her lips before getting Fabiola’s phone… She was going to give Hanley a call…
