Carle was in a stupor.
Sheena lifted her lips into a bitter smile. “I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll leave now.” She said and left.
“Sheen.” There was a slight change of emotions on Carle’s face.
Sheena stopped in her steps but did not turn back.
“I’m sorry,” Carle said quietly as he stared at her frail figure. He had been entirely in the dark all these
years and had unconsciously hurt her. He never imagined that their childhood friendship would turn out
this way.
Out of the four of them, Rachel was probably the only one without all these complications. Carle closed

his eyes. He was envious of how carefree her life must be.
Sheena smiled sadly and said sharply, “If it wasn’t for what happened, I wouldn’t have said all these.
You don’t have to feel sorry for me, Carle. I’m fine. However, you should think about your relationship

good-looking man, especially with those mesmerizing onyx eyes. It attracted a lot of people. This bar

Brandon lifted his eyes to look at her. He took a drag of his cigarette and said, “What are you here for?”

Brandon swept her an indifferent glance, stood up, and walked in. Elisa quickly followed.
The people around them were all perplexed.
“Wasn’t she the woman from before?!” A red-headed woman exclaimed.
