Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 372

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 just come 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 anything comes 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 a complete 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 will last 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 busy lately 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."
