Chapter 1162

Maja stood there for a while, her mind buzzing with unease when she returned to her car. Her discomfort stemmed from two sources: her unresolved situation with lan and the cryptic words from Dylan. Was something about to happen?

She looked up, planning to strike up a conversation with Zoey, but noticed her friend’s quiet sobs. Zoey was sprawled over the steering wheel, so engrossed in her misery that she didn’t even notice Maja’s return.

“Zoey?” Maja called out, finally snapping Zoey out of her daze. She straightened up, her eyes wide and startled. “Hi, Miss Pennyfeather.”

“Did your ex–boyfriend bother you again? I thought you had paid him back. Are his family still giving you a hard time?”

“No.”

Then did he send you a wedding invitation? Is he getting married to that woman and it’s making you upset?”

“No.”

So, what was it then?

Maja considered her close circle of friends, each with their own simple family backgrounds. Zoey came from a single–parent household, her mother barely tolerating her. Then there was Cornelia, an orphan, her parents both long gone, and Wilma, whose parents died even earlier. The only one with a happy family was Carol, the genuine rich girl. As such, Maja couldn’t guess what was bothering Zoey.
