"I have a question to ask you," Tristan spoke up again as I was about to leave, seemingly something very important.
"What is it?" I was a bit confused.
"Do you think I will fall in love with Emilia in the future?" Tristan looked at me with a strange expression. I felt a chill down my spine and thought to myself, "Could it be that he has also been reborn?"
Looking at my bewildered expression, Tristan reminded me, "Once you got drunk and started rambling in my car, telling me to give up on Emilia and not to compete with Frederic for her. I've always felt that what you said was more than just drunken talk."
I was startled. It turned out that I had spoken out some things from my previous life after getting drunk.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, "I was just talking nonsense. You and Frederic have been good friends since childhood, how could you both fall in love with Emilia? With the friendship between you, even if you both love the same woman, you would definitely choose friendship, right?"
In my mind, I cursed, "Nonsense! In the previous life, you were almost going crazy fighting over Emilia, just like two male lions in the animal kingdom fighting for the throne."
Tristan's lips curled slightly upwards as he said, "Perhaps."
After saying that, he got into his car and drove away, leaving me confused in the parking lot for a while. I didn't understand what he meant by saying "maybe". Could it be that Tristan has already fallen in love with Emilia but is trying hard to restrain himself?
Regardless, it was a fateful encounter for the two men. I was about to divorce Frederic, and from then on, I would be detached and live as a free outsider.
I didn't know when Frederic's divorce agreement was sent to me.
I waited for two days in a row, but I didn't see the divorce agreement. For this reason, I even made a special trip to the company, but I was told that Frederic has not been in the office these two days and no one has seen him.
Could it be that he was at the hospital accompanying his future father-in-law? I went to the hospital again and, after asking about Sam's ward, I arrived at the door.
Sam was asleep while Emilia was on the phone. When she saw me, she whispered to the person on the other end of the line, "I got it. Thank you for letting me know about my dad. I will find a way to pay you back the 66 thousand dollars."
She used to talk on the phone with Frederic.
Since Frederic was on the phone, he definitely wasn't in the hospital. So I was about to leave.
"Sylvia!" At that moment, Emilia called out to me and got up to chase after me.
"Do you need something?" I asked with a forced smile after being stopped by Emilia.
As she approached, I smelled that somewhat familiar scent of perfume, and it was the bottle of perfume I had given to Kira.
This scent would sometimes appear on Frederic, and sometimes on Frederic's car. I knew that every time I smelled it, it meant that they had just recently separated.
I understood why Emilia was willing to use the perfume I gave her. It was a silent provocation.
Emilia raised her hand and smoothed her hair beside her ear. On her fair and tender face, a faint pink hue could be seen, making her look healthy and beautiful. Her beautiful big eyes were like mist, glistening and captivating.
"I borrowed 66 thousand dollars from Mr. Hudson to pay for my father's heart surgery. I feel that I can't hide this from you," she said earnestly, looking at me. "I will definitely repay you."
"He won't ask you to pay back." I raised the Lana Marks Clutch in my hand and shook it, still speaking in a gentle tone, "I don't want you to pay back either. This amount is less than the cost of one of my handbags, so I'll consider it an act of kindness."
Emilia's expression changed slightly. Her eyes glanced at my clutch, with a hint of jealousy in her gaze.
