Love That Wasn't Meant to Last

Chapter 98

Sylvia stared at the words for a while, her expression a bit dazed. After a moment, she seemed to snap back to reality and smiled at me. She took my hand and said, "Hudson, it's so hot outside. Let's go inside."

I wasn't sure what Sylvia was thinking, but I hoped it wasn't what I feared.

Just as we were about to step in, a sharp voice came from behind us.

"Sylvia, you liar! Why did you go back on your promise? We had an agreement! Why are you doing this?"

I turned around to see Selena standing behind us, and my mind went blank.

I hadn't expected Sylvia and Selena to meet so quickly.

The truth couldn't stay hidden forever, but surely there was no need to expose it this quickly. She didn't even give me a chance to prepare. Selena looked at Sylvia with a look of utter disdain.

"Hud, is this your new girlfriend?" Selena looked at me, shaking her head with a disapproving click of her tongue as if criticizing my poor taste for choosing someone like Sylvia.
