Chapter 1590


    "Wife?" I waspletely shocked.


    It had only been a few months since Ian had left, and yet, he was already married? It was the first


    time I had even met the woman whom he called his wife. Perhaps it was because of my self-


    esteem. I really couldn''t ept the fact that a man who grew up together with me was married


    without even me knowing anything about it. I had an unpleasant expression on my face.


    "Shocking, right?" As Ian looked at me, the smile on his face widened, but his eyes remained calm.


    "It''s understandable. I''ve known Silvia for almost a year now, and we received our marriage


    certificate two months ago. Can''t actually say we made our decision too hurriedly, can you?"


    He said it in a joking tone, but my heart instantly sank.


    I knew that Ian was still ming me.


    I remembered what he said about us growing distant from each other. We were childhood friends.


    However, I was too busy taking care of my personal matters that I had forgotten to ask about how


    he was doing.


    "Ian, you..." The words were at the tip of my tongue, but I didn''t know how to continue.


    I felt guilty about it. I turned away and didn''t dare look at Ian, but saw Silvia kindly smiling towards


    me instead. I forced a smile out of respect. Then I lowered her gaze and didn''t dare say a word.


    In Raiya''s view, we were old friends reuniting with each other. She thought Ian was joking, so she


    went along with him. "It doesn''t matter actually even if your engagement was decided in a rush.


    Who can say for sure when ites to love at first sight? My husband and I knew we were the one


    for each other after meeting for not long, and we''re now living happily together. It''s not much of a big


    deal as long as you two are happy!"


    Ian was taken aback by her honesty. A momentter, he regained his calmness and said, "I agree.


    It''s just everyone''s personal choice. No one is better off than anyone else."


    I felt speechless as I could sense that there was some other meaning in Ian''s words, but I really


    couldn''t bring it up when Raiya and Silvia were right in front of us. I really wanted to ask Ian, "Where


    have you been? What happened to you?"


    Even after mustering up my courage, I only managed to say, "You shoulde to my house for


    dinner some other day. Anne has been pestering me to have you apany her all the time."


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "We''ll see how it goes." Ian directly rejected my invitation. "I just started my own clinic. All the


    patients I treated before came back to me. I''m too busy. I think I won''t have the time for now."


    Ian refused to be close with me.


    Every time this happened, I would think that Ian med me for not caring enough about him. Not


    only that, he seemed to me me for Monique''s death.


    Regardless, Monique was no longer here. I only had Ian left, a person who had apanied me


    for a long time. I couldn''t bear to abandon our friendship just like that.


    Just as I was about to speak to try my best to persuade him to stay, Silvia, who had been listening


    quietly beside us, interrupted all of a sudden. "Don''t worry. I''ll remind him about it by that time."


    Her voice was gentle. Her elegance resembled a princess living in a castle. Her considerate


    personality made her even more special as if the two of them were meant for each other. Ian didn''t


    insist further. We came to an agreement just like that.


    All my inexplicable self- esteem issues and pettiness instantly subsided.


    Ian was right. Everything had happened a long time ago. What was important was that the woman


    next to him, Silvia, had a lovable character. She managed to control Ian''s temper with ease. At


    least, with her, Ian wouldn''t speak too harshly and totally fall apart with me at the moment.
