Chapter 295

Bland's gaze, sharp and curious, only grazed her briefly before settling on Cordelia with a polite, "Lia."

Then, his attention turned to Merry, his eyes shimmering with a mix of amusement and affection as he teased, "Babe, why haven't you been answering my calls?"

Juliana was dumbfounded.

She must be hallucinating!

She stared at Bland in disbelief, eyes wide and unblinking...

Babe... Following his gaze towards Merry, Juliana saw her cheeks flush and her eyes sparkle the moment he entered.

Juliana was stunned.

She couldn't believe what she was seeing, shock leaving her mouth agape. She pointed at Merry, stammering, "You, you, you and him... You guys..."

Merry had already rushed to Bland's side, a hint of shyness on her face. Hearing Juliana's words, she responded, "Yep, this is my boyfriend. Sorry, your situation with Hanley might be up in the air, but my dream has already come true~"

With that, she looped her arm through Bland's, looking up at him, "Got caught up in something, how did you get here so early~"

Bland nodded, "Yeah, the film wrapped up early, and I couldn't wait a minute longer to see you, so I came straight here."

After exchanging a few words, Bland turned to Cordelia, "Lia, dinner tonight?"

Knowing Bland was coming today, Cordelia had already planned a dinner for the four of them.

Hearing this, Cordelia nodded, packed up her bag, and followed the trio out of the room, leaving Juliana standing there, utterly incredulous. How could this be... How is it possible!
