Chapter 258


    Chapter 258


    Bonnie’s face turned even uglier when she heard that. I had said the very thing she didn’t want to hear


    That Neil was making moves on me.


    Gloria, on the other hand, was quite chill. She gave Bonnie’s hand a light pat and said in a motherly


    tone, “Bonnie, why so sensitive? Ms. Finch in Neil’s ex-wife. It’s perfectly normal for divorced couples


    to stay friends. Aren’t you here today as well?”


    Right. Bonnie had never set foot in Sapphire River Community before. The fact that she was here now


    meant Neil had given his approval. This indicated a change in their rtionship


    Neil was as fickle as ever. I could never figure out what he was up to


    “Okay, Mom.” Bonnie said, snapping back to her obedient self after listening to Gloria


    I didn’t give a hoot about what Gloria was talking about. After seeing Neil step out, I went straight into


    my own yard and didn’t look back.


    Bonnie’s clear and sweet voice was filled with joy as she eximed, “Ned””


    I pretended not to hear her and quickly walked into the living room, shutting the door behind me.


    I couldn’t care less about whatever was happening next door


    It waste, and there was sleet everywhere outside. The bare tree branches in the winter night looked


    extra bleak. I poured myself a ss of red wine. nning to hit the sack after finishing it.


    “Ding”


    My phone chimed. It was a message from Kitty Before I could read it, her voice call came through.


    Trene, has Neil lost his marbles? He actually invited Bonnie and Gloria over for dinner?” Kitty sounded


    really pissed off when I picked up the call.


    “How did you find out?” I asked.


    I’m friends with Bonnie on Instagram. She posted a photo. This is so annoying Kitty rarely got this mad,


    her voice was noticeably louder


    Though she was outgoing and straightforward, she seldom showed such extreme emotions. Being a


    rich kid, she had her manners.


    Neil’s move had obviously baffled her


    Curious, I asked, “How did you be friends with Bonnie on Instagram?


    Kitty responded, “She added me. She got my contact from one of my friends. But she probably doesn’t


    know who I am yet so she always acts high and mighty in front of me


    Ah, I see Bonnie probably added Kitty because she was often seen with Neil and felt threatened.


    1 heard Whitmore Co. and StarGlow Enterprises are going to coborate That’s probably why they had


    a meal together I sounded moreposedpared to her


    That’s why I think he’s gone cuckoo. Do you think he’s being ckmailed by that mother-daughter duo


    Kitty was probably filled with questions.


    Neil’s future behavior might confuse her even more. I reassured her a few times and hung up.


    When I woke up the next morning, I saw a message Kitty had sent mete at night, “Thank god Bonnie


    didn’t stay the night at his ce, or I would’ve definitely stopped pursuing him


    I yawned, gave a bitter smile, and put down my phone to wash up.


    Neil reconnecting with Bonnie was a relief for me. They were causing less trouble for me, almost none


    at this time.


    It was the end of the year, so he was already pretty busy. I didn’t see him until the day Barbara and


    Ss held their wedding.


    StarGlow Enterprises announced that Whitmore Co. had invested in them, and they had jointly set up a


    charity foundation to help young patients with heart-rted diseases get treatment or heart transnts.


    I heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they didn’t go after mypany, I was good,


    Because of the cold weather outside, Barbara’s wedding was held in a hotel.


    Barbara chose me, Ste, and Alicia as her bridesmaids.


    Loads of guests attended the wedding To our surprise, Neil and Russel showed up too,


    1 didn’t invite them Did they just show up on their own?” Barbara found time to discuss the situation


    with me.


    “Well, since they’re here, you’ll get two more wedding gifts.” I replied with augh.


    Ste locked at me sympathetically, Rena, Barbara might get gifts, but you might be in a bit of a pickle


    Your ex-husband and ex-boyfriend are about to


    meet.”


    Before I could respond, Alicia rushed over, “Ugh! What a mood killer! Why did Bonnie and Gloria have


    to show up on such a good day?”


    Barbaras eyes widened in surprise, “My parents must’ve invited them. I told them not to… Why?”


    Our parents knew about our disputes, but they wouldnt intervene much. They wouldn’t stop doing


    business or mingling because of it.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Ab Barbara was about to confront her parents, I stopped her, “It’s fine. Bonnie might have issues with


    me, but not with your family. It’s normal for your parents to invite them”


    “Bul. Barbara frowned


    The wedding is about to start. Today is your big day. Don’t mind those people “I told Barbara


    Chapter 258


    Barbara finally gave up on confronting her parents and focused on waiting for the wedding ceremony to


    start


    As bridesmaids, we followed Barbara onto the stage. Since all four of us graduated from the music


    department of university, we decided to perform “Wedding March as the wedding background music.


    As I picked up the cello, I nced at the guests below the stage. Despite the crowd, I spotted Neil


    instantly.


    He sat at a rtively distant spot. On one side of him was Cooper, and on the other were Bonnie and


    Kate.


    Bonnie was wearing a light blue dress today, looking quite delicate. She was leaning slightly towards


    Neil. From my angle, they looked like a couple


    When I looked into the crowd again, my eyesnded on Russel. He was seated near the stage, so I


    had a clear view of his much thinner figure and the added gloominess in his eyes. He was stating right


    at me.


    Chloe, sitting next to him, looked quite anxious, as if she were worried about something.


    As the music kicked in, the wedding ceremony started. Watching Barbara and Ss exchange rings


    filled my heart with bitterness.


    “Any singledies in the house? The emcee suddenly asked, “For those hopefuldies looking for their


    Mr. Right, get ready! The bride is about to toss the bouquet


    This was a part of the n. Both Barbara and Ss were big fans of this tradition. A bunch of unmarried


    female guests stood up, marching towards the stage, ready to catch the bouquet.


    But what took us all by surprise was Bonnie getting up too. When she got to the front of the crowd,


    Barbara’s face turned sour.


    Bonnie purposely came over to me, shing a smile, “Trene, can I stand next to you? I think this spot is


    pretty good.”


    “Whatever” I replied coldly.


    Barbara, not wanting to throw a tantrum in front of everyone, had to endure this awkward situation. She


    turned her back to us and tossed the bouquet over her shoulder
