Chapter 1101 Lamia Elrod Is Here


    Veronica leaned against the booth as her eyes gazed at Xavier with mixed feelings stirred in them. "But


    you should know that Antheena doesn''t want us to keep in touch, and you know what she has done to


    me. If you really consider me a friend, you should distance yourself from me."


    It was tant yet hurtful, but she genuinely wished the best for Xavier and Antheena. After all,


    Antheena loved him to the bones. They were truly a family.


    He inteced his fingers on the table while casting his gaze onto the floor to conceal the smearing


    bitterness. "I have something to do in Bloomstead today, so I''m here to see you. I will return to Castron


    in a few days. I don''t know when we will meet again."


    He forced a smile, keeping the truth away from her. The reason he returned from Castron was because


    he saw the news and knew that Matthew and Veronica had divorced.


    "Great." She nodded. "Since you''re back, as the host, I should treat you for lunch."


    "No need for the rush." Xavier nced at his watch and added, "Just let me know if you need


    anything."


    She ced her right hand on her ringed finger, staring and the twinkling wedding ring. "The divorce is a


    fake." She still decided to tell Xavier the truth after contemtion.


    Xavier cluck his tongue and smiled helplessly. "You could''ve spared me the exnation."


    Even if she saved the exnation, Xavier knew the truth.


    He was well aware of everything that had happened in the past two years, including Matthew''s genuine


    feelings for her.


    The couple jumped through hoops and finally secured happiness. Divorcing shortly after returning to


    the country? It was clear that something was amiss.


    Hearing the actual truth was both relieving and sorrowful for Xavier. He was relieved that she trusted


    him and didn''t choose to hide it from him; he was sad because she told him the truth in order to cut off


    any inappropriate thoughts he might have about her.


    "I don''t want to hide it from you." Veronica smiled. "Although we are friends, our standpoints are


    completely different. Who knows if we will be at odds the next time we meet? So let''s cherish the


    present and talk about something else."


    The matter with the hidden n hade to an end, yet the fact that Antheena''s husband—Dominik—


    obeyed Antheena''s father undey the uncertainties.


    "Okay. I''ll give you that. Let''s talk about something light." Xavier heaved a sigh of relief. It was easy to


    get along with Veronica. "When we returned from the hidden n, we brought along someone."


    "Who?" She was puzzled. Could it be someone from the hidden n?


    "Lamia Elrod."


    "Lamia..." Veronica suddenly raised her voice before she pitched it lower. "How did you bring her


    back?"


    Although Lamia addressed Hayley as "aunt," they were cousins.


    Veronica couldn''t figure out how they managed to bring Lamia back to the country.


    Xavier leaned slightly forward and whispered, "Dominik has been searching for Lamia because of her


    rtionship with Hayley. It was until our ship departed the port that we discovered her hiding on our


    ship. She knelt and begged Hendrey to let her stay. He agreed to keep her considering their close


    rtionship."
