Meanwhile, Sidonie had to face questions from Nimbus Air’s senior management, while Trent left the airport alone.
His mind was still in a fog, his thoughts filled only with the final words Quinn had said to him before leaving the airport. Who saved me? Was it Quinn or Sidonic? When I opened my eyes, the first person I saw was Sidonic. The hospital staff also confirmed that it was Sidonic who had accompanied me to the hospital. However, why would Quinn say such a thing? Was it a lie? Was it…
He felt as though a massive weight was pressing on his chest, making it somewhat difficult for him to breathe.
Upon returning to the mansion, Trent immediately saw Penelope and Jacinda on the couch.
As soon as they saw him return, they immediately went up to greet him.
“Trent, why have you only come back now? You were just supposed to get a certificate from the City Hall. Did Quinn refuse to divorce?” Jacinda asked. Trent is the boss of a publicly traded company and is seen by many as a highly desirable rich husband. It’s only natural for Quinn to find it hard to let go.
“What’s the matter? Does she think one million five hundred thirty thousand isn’t enough?” Penelope huffed in annoyance. “In my opinion, giving her one million five hundred thirty thousand is too generous!”
“Mom, stop!” Trent rubbed his temples. “Quinn and I are already divorced!”
“Really?” A smile spread across Penelope’s face.
“Why would I lie?” Trent replied.
“That’s great! It’s good that you’re no longer with her. A woman like Quinn is just not right for you. Sidonie is so much better. She’s from the Stonehurst family and also a co–pilot! I would be so proud to have a daughter–in–law like her!” Penelope uttered joyfully, her mind already racing ahead to the envious expressions of her relatives in her hometown when they found out her daughter–in–law was a young lady from a prestigious family.
Gloating at another’s misfortune, Jacinda said, “Trent, now that Quinn has divorced you, she’ll regret it later. She’ll be wondering where she can find another man as wonderful as you!”
As she spoke, she turned to Trent with an enthusiastic grin. “Hey, how about this? When you and Sidonie get married in the future, why not send an invitation to Quinn? She could come to the wedding.”
“I’m just friends with Sidonie,” Trent said, furrowing his brows.
“Friends? What do you mean? Trent, don’t try to fool Mom and me with that. We both know that Sidonie is your first crush. You only married Quinn because you were heartbroken when Sidonie went abroad. Now that you’re divorced, you can finally be with Sidonie,” Jacinda said.
“Absolutely! We’re family, so you don’t have to hide that from us. I understand your feelings. Give it some time, and I’ll arrange your marriage with Sidonie,” Penelope chimed in.
Looking at Penelope and Jacinda, Trent felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.

Without uttering another word, he went straight upstairs and returned to his bedroom. Even Mom and Jacinda don’t believe that Sidonic and I are just friends! Have my actions really led to so many misunderstandings?
Initially, his affection for Sidonic was born out of gratitude, as she had saved his life. Additionally, her beauty and status as the daughter of the Stonehurst family also appealed to him.
Back then, she was someone he could only dream of having.
He was acutely aware of the gulf between them. Because of that, he had always kept his love for her hidden deep within his heart, never daring to reveal it. Even his kindness toward her was often disguised as a way of repaying a debt.
However, later on, he married Quinn. He understood the responsibilities that came with marriage. Even when Sidonie returned, even though he still harbored a sense of love and gratitude for her deep down, he never once crossed the line with Sidonic.
He knew he had to be committed to his marriage, but he also wanted to be kind to Sidonie. Therefore, he labeled them as friends to cover things up.
However, nobody really thought of him and Sidonie as friends.
Trent thought back to Quinn’s accusations. She had claimed that he was merely trying to avoid the guilt of moral responsibility and preserve his reputation. That was why, as a cover–up, he kept saying Sidonie was his friend.
Trent pulled out his divorce certificate, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth.
Just then, his phone started to ring. Glancing at the caller ID, Trent saw it was a call from Sidonie. Perfect timing! I have questions for her!
He picked up the phone, and from the other end, he could hear Sidonie’s anxious voice. “Trent, where are you now? I want to see you,” she said.
“Where are you? Maybe I should come pick you up,” Trent said.
“I’m still at the airport. I’ve just left the vice president’s office.” Sidonie sounded aggrieved.
Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn’t have been able to resist offering comfort. At that moment, however, he found himself unable to utter a single word of solace.
“In that case, I’ll go over now!” With that, Trent ended the call and went to the airport.
Sidonie tightly held her phone in her grasp, her teeth biting down on her lip in anxiety. A flicker of unease crossed her face. She was determined not to let Trent discover the truth. Only I can be Trent’s savior!
Half an hour later, Trent arrived at the airport terminal and spotted Sidonie.
Sidonie’s eyes were brimming with tears. With her slightly pale face, she didn’t look as prideful as usual. Instead, she looked pitiful.
