Chapter 372 Fading Friendship


    I had arranged to meet Sweety just outside the hotel, somewhere not far from me. I put on a sunhat


    and got ready to go out.


    As I reached the corridor, I ran into Idris, who had juste out of Madam Young''s room. He


    furrowed his brow slightly when he saw me wearing a sunhat and about to leave. "Where are you


    going?"


    I had no intention of hiding anything, so I replied, "I''m meeting Sweety for dinner."


    He paused for a few seconds, then nodded. His voice was low and restrained when he said, "I''ll


    have a bodyguard follow you. Call me if anythinges up."


    I nodded back. Considering everything that had happened today, I knew Idris had his hands full with


    various matters. Without further ado, I entered the elevator.


    At the restaurant.


    I arrived nearly half an hour early. When Sweety arrived, she had red eyes. I furrowed my brows


    and asked, "What''s wrong with your eyes?"


    She took a sip of the lemonade I had ordered for her on the table and replied indifferently, "Nothing.


    Why did you want to see me? If it''s about asking me not to bother Liam, you don''t need to waste


    your breath. I know what I''m doing, and I don''t want anyone telling me what to do."


    I furrowed my brow, feeling like she was now aplete stranger to me now. "Sweety, he''s married,


    he has a child, and his wife is pregnant with another one. Do you really want to obsess over


    someone who can''t give you a future?"


    "I don''t need a future!" she retorted, looking at me as she spoke with a hoarse voice. "I just


    happened to fall for him, so I want to admire him from a distance. I haven''t done anything wrong.


    Anyway, do you have the right to stand here and condemn me, Yvette Scott? Your man doesn''t love


    you, so you can''t stand to see others happy, right?"


    I was stunned, and a sudden wave of disappointment surged through me. I knew that no matter


    what I said about Liam, it would not matter. I repeated Emily''s words to her and said, "No matter


    what you want to do, Sweety, listen to my advice. Liam is not yours. Stop being so stubborn."

    She sneered and looked at me. "So, you came here today to deliver a message for that woman?


    You’re right, Liam and I have nothing to do with each other. So what? Who can guarantee that


    marriage willst a lifetime, without no chances of divorce or widowhood?"


    "Why, you..." I was getting angry because she had not taken in a word I had said.


    Suppressing my anger, I changed the topic and asked, "Are you in Tully City for work or a


    vacation?" I had been quite busytely and had not been in touch, so I had no clue what had been


    going on in her life recently.


    She took a sip of lemonade and said, "A vacation."


    I nodded. After the incident on Ind in the Lake, she had been in low spirits. It was good for her to


    come here and take a break.


    Not wanting to argue with her, I asked, "Did youe with friends, or are you alone?"


    She was getting a bit impatient. "Alone."


    "When are you nning to go back?" I asked. I merely intended to have a casual chat with her just


    like we used to, discussing our lives and trading gossip, but it seemed she did not want to talk to me


    much right now.


    "I don''t know yet," she replied, then nced down at her wristwatch. "You can have your meal alone


    later. I have something to do, so I won''t be eating with you."


    After saying that, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.


    I opened my mouth but did not say anything in the end. There were just some things in life that had


    to change.


    My heart felt empty as I watched her leave. The young girl who used to wait for me to finish school


    so we could walk home together seemed to have drifted far away.


    "All alone?" I heard a voice behind me and instinctively turned around. It was Inch and Charlie.


    Seeing the two of them, I suddenly remembered that we had gone to the forest together today. I


    quickly sized them up and saw that they were both fine. Still, I could not help but ask, "Did anything


    happen to you guys today?"


    They shook their heads. Inch looked at me and said, "Ms. Scott, there were too many people at the


    cable car station, and we were afraid something might happen, so we squeezed out of the crowd.


    When we turned around to find you, we couldn''t. We tried calling you, but you didn''t answer. Are


    you okay?"


    I shook my head and briefly exined what happenedter in the day. Looking at them, I asked,


    "I''m d you guys are alright. Did you say I didn''t answer your calls?" I was a bit skeptical and


    instinctively took out my phone to check. Indeed, there were several missed calls from Charlie on


    WhatsApp. I had not checked the app, so I did not notice them.


    I looked at the two and quickly apologized, "I''m sorry, it was probably too chaotic at that time, so I


    didn''t see them."


    Inch shook his head and smiled, not saying anything.


    Charlie looked at me, his gaze falling on the scratched part of my face. His dark eyes darkened


    slightly as he said, "You got hurt."
