Chapter 389 Out with the Old, In with the New


    She was...


    She was still stuck with William all this while...


    “Mom... I''ve been trying to tell you that... William and |... We''re... Not... Anymore...”


    She wanted to exin that there had been nothing between her and William, But after giving it a thought, she said, “There’s


    been nothing between us for a long time.”


    “Really?”


    Eliza was shocked. “Then, your separation...?”


    “| got to know another man after that, but it’s in the past now, too... Mom, I''ll tell you all about it eventually, alright?” Mnie said.


    “Huh? Sure, sure.”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Only then did Eliza agree to it while still baffled. After seeing Mnie leaving in her car, she shook her head and sighed. After her


    daughter had grown up, she also had a lot ofplications.


    Meanwhile, Mnie could only shake her head with a bitter smile when she was in the car.


    She felt like she was on a rollercoaster just now...


    She wouldn''t have known what her mom knew if she didn’t test her, and she couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when she


    found out that the so-called “cheating” man was William and not Jeffrey.


    When she reached Annie’s ce, she only knew that Annie had met William in the evening after work earlier today and dragged


    him to have a meal. She didn’t expect Mnie to see her.


    “Luckily she exined it, otherwise | would have caused a huge misunderstanding, and you’d be unhappy again,” Annie


    said with a smile.


    “I''m not worried about that. What I’m curious about is that you had your arms around William''s shoulder and vice versa? Are you


    two very close now?”


    When Annie heard that, she quickly sat up straight and stopped giggling. “She''s just making things sound more serious than they


    really are...”


    “My mom is a stern woman. She won’t exaggerate things.” Mnie refused to let go. “Speaking of which, you kept in touch with


    William? And your rtionship improved quickly?”


    “Not exactly... Just... two times...” Annie told her the truth.


    “But William is a serious and sensible man, and he’s the type your parents approve of,” Mnie said with a smile and went to the


    kitchen to find something to eat. Annie mumbled a few words and followed her.


    “But if you and Jeffrey get a divorce, | will carefully consider my rtionship with William,” Annie assured her.

    Mnie let out augh thanked to that. “William is William, Jeffrey is Jeffrey. You don’t have to worry about me if you''re together


    with William.”


    “Aren''t you going to feel sad if | show up with him in front of you?” Annie really cared about her feelings.


    Mnie smiled and massaged her belly, saying, “In this lifetime, I''ll always have someone that looks like him


    by my side. How can | be afraid of William?”


    Annie didn’t want to see Mnie being sad. She suddenly remembered something and said, “Gemma came over to Harbor City


    yesterday. She wants to have a meal with us.”


    “Why is she in Harbor City?” Mnie asked.


    “To get us some business opportunities,” Annie said with a smile. “The Fowlers are introducing a new product, and they need a


    PRpany to help with their marketing, so she came to see me. If you’re not too tired, why don’t we goter tonight?”


    It was still early.


    She would only overthink things if she stayed at home, so Mnie nodded and agreed.


    After meeting up with Gemma, the three women immediately went to the restaurant for dinner.


    During dinner, Gemma and Annie would chat most of the time, while Mnie would nod in agreement and chime in asionally.


    Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Mnie had noticed that the she would spend more time being sad as well as more


    time in the washroom... It was truly physically and emotionally torturous at the same time.


    When she came out from the washroom again, she noticed that the small gathering of three women had somehow grownrger.


    All the other tables in the restaurant had been moved, and several tables had beenbined, forming into a longer table


    suitable for arger gathering.


    “What''s... Going on?” Mnie asked.


    Annie pouted and exined with a smile, “Well... Gemma was asking why you’re so upset, so | told her you just had a


    breakup...”


    “Breakup?”


    Mnie was surprised.


    “While Annie didn’t tell me who you were in a rtionship with, | can tell that you had a breakup. That’s why | asked some of my


    friends in Harbor City toe over so that we could make things a bit livelier. Consider it as a party to celebrate your return to


    singlehood. Out with the old, in with the new!”


    “| didn’t know she would invite other people...”


    Annie was scared that Mnie would be upset, and she quickly exined, “If you don’t like it, we can leave now if you want.”

    Mnie shook her head.


    It was toote to do anything about it, so she might as well enjoy it.


    If there were more people, she could avoid these two orbiting around her the whole night.


    Gemma had booked the entire restaurant for the night, and the entire group was having fun. Mnie wasn’t really that interested


    in such a group activity and wanted to sit in the corner for some quietness, but Gemma was obviously prepared.


    After everyone had a few rounds of drinks, Gemma stood on the stage and waved her hand. The entire restaurant quieted down.


    “The person who | specially organized this party for today is my best friend and savior, the beautiful and kind Mnie Joines! We


    will celebrate her return to singlehood!”


    Gemma jumped down and then dragged Mnie up the stage so that she could stand under the limelight.


    “Is my best friend beautiful!”


    “Yes!”


    Everyone yelled out loud.


    “And the best way to heal a broken heart is to let another person move in! Do any of you want to use this chance to confess your


    love to her? Do it now!”
