Chapter 370

Sienna thought to herself, "I knew it." Still, she nodded and said calmly, "They've ended things, yes."

Sienna noticed the change in her expression and asked bluntly, "Do you still have feelings for Stephen?"

Marissa blinked dumbly. It seemed that she didn't expect Sienna to air it out in the open just like that.

"Yes," she admitted readily. "My feelings for him have never changed, even after all these years."

Sienna was somewhat surprised as she replied, "I didn't expect you to harbor such long-lasting love for him. It's been seven years, hasn't it?"

Marissa lowered her gaze and murmured, "Yes."

Yet, love was an odd little creature. Persistence didn't always mean that one would be given the key to the other's heart.

So, Sienna smiled and said, "However, Stephen is still very much in love with Tessa. I have a hunch they'll get back together."

The smile on Marissa's lips vanished into thin air. "And why's that?"

"There are other factors at play behind their breakup," Sienna slowly began.

Then, she let out a sigh and continued, "They didn't end things because they've stopped loving each other or because they've gotten tired of the other. It only happened because Caleb's illegitimate son, James, was aware that Tessa was Stephen's weakness.

"James abducted Tessa in the past and had nearly murdered Tessa countless times. In fact, she was shot by one of James' goons just recently. She's still recovering from the ordeal."

Marissa was shocked to hear that. "I can't believe that happened!"
