Chapter 1456


    I smiled vaguely and said, "There has been too much going on these days. Didn''t I call you girls up


    as soon as I had time? By the way, have both of you seen Dahliately? It''s been so long since our


    last meet-up. I wonder how she has been."


    Rainie replied, "I saw her a few days ago. I heard that she has adopted a five or six-year-old child. I


    assume that she''s not nning to get married. Plus, she''s already thirty-six or seven years old. It


    looks like she''s adopting a child so that she won''t feel lonely in theing days. But strangely, the


    last time I saw her, she was driving an S-ss Mercedes Benz. Not only that, she even bought a


    house a couple of days ago. Didn''t she say she was broke? Do you girls know what''s up with her


    recently? How did she get the money to buy all these?"


    Tina shook her head and said, "I have no idea. I barely keep in contact with her, and I''m not


    interested in knowing her updates."


    Stunned for a moment, Rainie then asked, "You don''t seem to like Dahlia very much, do you, Tina?"


    Tina was a straightforward person with her heart on her sleeve. She shrugged her shoulders and


    said lightly, "I can''t say I like or dislike her, she''s just a hi-bye friend to me. She just doesn''t belong


    to the world we are in, as you girls know. In my point of view, she''s too ambitious to treat us as


    friends. To her, we''re acquaintances. So, I don''t really see her as a friend."


    Listening to their conversation, I gave a small smile before saying, "Hey, it''s alright. We are just chit-


    chatting here. It''s okay if you don''t want to talk about it. I''m just curious about the child that Dahlia


    adopted and where he or she came from. Can a single woman adopt a child legally?"


    Rainie nodded. "It shouldn''t be a problem as long as she meets the requirements. I heard that


    unmarried women between the age of thirty to forty can adopt a child, as long as they have the


    financial means. Besides, Dahlia did tell me that the kid isn''t an orphan, but a child that lost their


    mother in a car crash. Unfortunately, the child''s father was sentenced to death. That was how the


    child ended up in her care."


    A death sentence?


    I smiled faintly and went home after an afternoon with the girls.


    I was surprised to bump into Naomi when I reached the vi''s entrance, where she was moving


    some stuff. She''d hired a movingpany to help with moving the boxes outside.


    Naomi was standing at the door and guiding the movers. She warned the workers several times to


    carry the boxes carefully. These boxes must''ve contained valuable belongings.


    Naomi looked in my direction and both of us shared a nce. Despite being far away, I could tell


    that she was stunned for a second. Her eyes were swollen, as though she had been crying earlier.


    What happened to her?


    Not knowing the situation, I decided not to waste my time and smiled politely at her before turning


    around and heading back into the vi. At this moment, Hendrix was still busy in Oand. Valerie''s


    n was for Anne and I to return to Jarold City. However, my heart was filled with anger by the way


    I was fooled by Sebastian.


    I had to do something about it, hence I decided to stay here a little longer.


    As soon as I entered the house, I felt exhausted. The doorbell rang the moment I sat down in a


    comfortable seat.


    I got up on my feet and saw Naomi standing at the door.


    I walked through the yard and opened the door before asking, "Do you want toe in? "


    Naomi shook her head and said, "No, that''s fine.


    I''m here to return this to you!" She then took off the bangle that she was wearing and gave it to me.


    It was a bangle that Zir once gave me, which I then gifted another identical one to Naomi. It


    wasn''t something expensive, but had a lot of meaning.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
