Chapter 381
Lena knew about it because one of her girlfriends happened to be close with Megan’s best friend back then. The secret had slipped out during an afternoon tea when that friend accidentally let something slip.
The moment it happened, the friend had begged them not to tell anyone. Otherwise, Megan would cut her off completely.
Megan had always been proud. As the heiress of the Stone family and the woman countless men admired but couldn’t win over, she definitely didn’t want anyone knowing she had confessed her feelings only to be rejected.
Lena wasn’t the gossipy type to begin with, and she had promised Megan’s friend not to breathe a word. So even though she knew, she had never told anyone.
Not even Mia or Charlotte.
Back then, all Lena knew was that Megan had been rejected. What she didn’t know was the reason Sean had turned her down. She had no idea that the person Sean liked was actually her best friend, Charlotte.
Later, when Charlotte and Sean got together, Megan had already been abroad for several years. Lena figured Megan had probably moved on, so there was no reason to bring it up.
Now that Megan was back and openly saying she wanted to pursue Sean, Lena figured that sharing the truth no longer counted as breaking a promise.
So she answered honestly.
“She confessed to him before she left the country, but Sean turned her down.”
Jordan raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? Sean never mentioned that.
“Why would he?” Lena scoffed. “She met with me today and said she still hasn’t moved on. She’s planning to go after him openly.”
“What?” Jordan looked genuinely surprised. “Didn’t she leave the country ages ago? After all this time, she’s still holding on?”
“Yeah.” Lena looked troubled. “And Lottie hasn’t really moved on either. What do you think Sean’s going to do?”
Jordan chuckled. “Come on. When it comes to Sean, as long as Charlotte’s still around, there’s never a question to be asked.”
Lena’s worried expression eased into a smile. “Hearing you say that actually makes me feel better. You’re his best friend. If anyone knows him best, it’s you.”
Jordan nodded. “Sean’s had a thing for Charlotte for years way before they got together. There’s no way he’d let her go that easily.”
Then he paused and added, “But what about Charlotte? What’s the story with Scott Lucas?”
Lena hesitated. “Honestly, I’m not sure. When Lottie was in the hospital, Scott went all the way to Sunrise Chapel. He climbed the long staircase at night, knelt on each step, and waited in silence at the altar until sunrise–just to get her a good luck charm. His feelings seem really sincere too. If I had to choose…”
She thought for a moment, then sighed. “They both really love Lottie. And honestly, whether it’s looks or background, they’re both a good match for her. It’s hard to say.”
Jordan raised an eyebrow. “Back then, Sean and Charlotte got together because of the engagement. It just happened naturally- neither of them really pursued the other. But if he wants to be with her now, he’ll have to actually chase her. To be honest, I’m kind of looking forward to seeing that. It’d be a rare sight. In over twenty years, I’ve never seen Sean go after anyone.”
Lena laughed. “Now that you mention it, I’m kind of looking forward to it too.”
