"No? You guys are going to be husband and wife soon and you're not even angry that he's clubbing with other girls?"

"I mean I won't marry him," Jeanne said.

"But..."

"No buts." Jeanne did not want to dwell on the topic. She switched the topic and said, "By the way, why are you in a club? You're married. Shouldn't you be a good wife and be with your husband at this hour?"

"A good wife? The marriage between me and Finn is just on paper. We have our own lives, don't tell me to be a good lady. Besides, he's having more fun than me."

"What happened between you two?" Jeanne raised a brow.

Jeanne knew nothing about Monica's marriage.

"What?" Monica patronized her.

"I clearly remember when you were in college, you called me and told me you've fallen for someone at first sight. Finn ticked every box of your ideal man and you loved him with your heart. Everyone in Southampton knows you're the one who chases after him instead of the other way around!"

"I was naive back then."

"So, you just broke up with him?"

"Mhmm." Monica simply hummed a reply.

"So, what happened? Why did you break up with him?"

"There's nothing I can say about it," Monica stammered.

"Monica!"

"Come on! It's almost the same with you and Eden back then."

"You cheated on him?!" Jeanne blurted.

"Come on! What the hell, Jeanne?! Do I look like a horny slut to you?! Am I that cheap in your eyes?" Monica was agitated.

"Then why did you marry him in the end?" Jeanne asked.
