After finding a seat, Will said, “I called Tiffie. As expected, I got a scolding from her. Her temper is still the same. She’s married with a baby on the way, and she’s still the same. However, that’s probably why she’s so carefree as well. Life is a lot easier when you have a big heart.”
Arianne felt more comfortable now that they had a topic of conversation. “That’s right, I agree. Tiffie is very lucky. Jackson loves virtual-novel.net very much and obeys virtual-novel.net every command. Have you been doing well, living outside the country? Did you consider returning to expand your business?”
Will shook his head. “I wasn’t used to it in the beginning, but I was forced to get used to it. I’ve laid out my foundation there so it won’t be easy to return. Look, this restaurant is still the same. Doesn’t it feel nostalgic?”
Arianne surveyed virtual-novel.net surroundings and nodded. “That’s right. It hasn’t changed at all. It still looks the same. Hopefully, the dishes still taste the same.”
Will suddenly noticed a red swelling at the back of virtual-novel.net hand and grabbed it to have a closer look. “What happened to your hand? It looks like you burned it.”
She quickly pulled virtual-novel.net hand away. “I accidentally scalded myself. There’s no need to fuss over it. It’ll heal on its own.”
Will seemed to realize something, and his expression stiffened. “Sorry… That was rude of me.”
Arianne smiled as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head. “No, we’ve never been reserved with each other during our college years. It’s just that Mark has gotten petty after we got married, and I don’t want to upset him. I’m fine.”
A hint of despair flashed briefly in the depths of Will’s eyes. “Time is such a funny thing. Even one’s likes and dislikes are changeable.”
Arianne fell silent. That was true. She used to have feelings for Will but fell in love with Mark in the end. Time had changed many things.

After lunch, Will sent virtual-novel.net back to virtual-novel.net office. She silently wished virtual-novel.net well as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net drive away. It was likely that they would never meet again. Hopefully, they would both live peaceful lives.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to walk into the office, a figure suddenly stopped in front of her. She looked up and saw Will’s wife. She did not know virtual-novel.net name, but they had met at the shopping mall once. Will had just left. Was his wife here to catch them red-handed?
Before virtual-novel.net could explain, Will’s wife said snappily, “Does life in the Tremont household and Mark Tremont not live up to your expectations? You’re married. Why are you still involved with someone else’s husband? I’ve always wondered what’s so special about the girl who got away. Now I know that you’re nothing but a dishonorable sl*t!”
Arianne was shocked by Will’s wife’s words. She did not think his wife disliked virtual-novel.net so intensely. Based on Will’s wife’s words, it was clear virtual-novel.net had found out that they had lunch. That was probably why his wife was cursing at her. “Mrs. Ottoman, Sivan, this is a misunderstanding. Your husband and I were only catching up as old classmates. That’s why we had lunch. Can you please make sure you get your facts right before you start cursing at me?”
Helga Ottoman-Sivan’s expression was one of fury. It was clear there was no reasoning with virtual-novel.net at this moment. “Do you think I’d believe you? He still keeps your things, the pictures you’ve drawn, and your photographs… Ever since virtual-novel.net ran into you at the shopping mall, virtual-novel.net has been constantly distracted. How am I supposed to believe there’s nothing going on between both of you? I finally caught both of you red-handed. Who knows what you did besides having lunch? I’d love to speak to Mark and ask virtual-novel.net how virtual-novel.net feels about being cheated on!”
