Sidonic gently bit her lip. “What’s wrong with you? Ever since we left the banquet, you’ve been so distracted.”
“Nothing.” Trent said, “Maybe… I’m just a bit tired.”
“Are you thinking about Quinn?” Sidonie asked.
Trent didn’t respond.
“That makes sense. You and her were married for three years, after all. But I never expected that as soon as she divorced you, she’d immediately run into the arms of Julius. I initially thought she at least had genuine feelings for you, so when I returned to the country, I didn’t want to interfere with your marriage. But I never expected her to be that kind of person.”
While speaking, Sidonie gently cupped Trent’s face in her hands. “Trent,” she said earnestly, “If it were me, if I truly loved someone, I would never sway. I would love that person and only that person for my entire life!”
Sidonie looked at Trent with tender affection, then slowly closed her eyes. Gradually, she moved her lips toward his.
Trent’s body stiffened slightly. He knew this was Sidonie’s hint. Given the current atmosphere, if he took the opportunity to kiss her, then naturally, they could be together.
Had it been before his marriage to Quinn, he might have been overjoyed; he might have tenderly kissed the lips he once daydreamed about.
He might even consider this as the greatest gift bestowed upon him by the heavens.
But now…
The image of Quinn’s face flashed through his mind.
“It’s getting late. You should head back to your room and rest,” Trent gently suggested.
Suddenly, Sidonie’s eyes snapped open, a look of disbelief flashing across them.
Trent was somewhat evasive, avoiding eye contact. “Sidonie, I’m really grateful to you. No matter what, you’re an important person to me.”
Sidonie clenched her teeth, her hands fiercely tugging at the hem of her skirt. Did he just reject me?
He keeps saying I’m someone important to him, yet even though they are already divorced, he still doesn’t want to take things any further with me!
So, does he still hold feelings for Quinn?
Suddenly, her heart grew increasingly unsettled. Yet, she managed to force a smile onto her face. “You’re right,” she said, “it’s getting late. We’re both tired from today. You should get some rest, too.”
“All right,” Trent responded.
After Sidonie had left, Trent couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. What is wrong with me?

- on.
“Quinn, I have no regrets. His murmured words lingered in the room.
Early in the morning, Quinn was awakened by a phone call from Laura.
The first thing her best friend said was, “You’re dating Julius, and you didn’t even tell me!”
Quinn blinked her sleepy eyes. “When did I start dating Julius without me knowing?”
“At yesterday’s banquet, when Julius confessed his feelings for you publicly. It became the talk of the town!” Laura exclaimed.
Startled, Quinn quickly opened her phone’s browser to check. Sure enough, just as her friend had said, it was trending.

Attached below was a photo of her and Julius from yesterday’s banquet.

chatter.

Speechless, Quinn scrolled through the comments on her phone. Then, she heard Laura’s voice coming through again. “Hey, are you actually dating Julius?”
