“You…” Janine’s smile was doting. The more she looked at Cordelia, the more she liked her.

Cordelia let her in, and Xyla was shocked to see Janine.

“Mom, she’s here to visit you.”

Xyla was silent for a moment. Seeing that Cordelia was still standing at the side, she told her with a smile, “Go do your shopping. I’ll chat with her for a bit.”

Cordelia pressed her lips and stayed rooted.

“Nothing to worry about!” Xyla waved a hand. “This woman here is my best friend!”

It was only then Cordelia nodded, but she softly told Xyla to hold on to her phone and call her instantly if anything happened before she left.

Janine had a gaze of complicated feelings as she watched Cordelia leave.

“Envious, huh?” Xyla arched her brow, getting up to boil some water for tea and chuckling smugly. “I could tell back at the art exhibition. You’re very envious that I got a daughter!”

Janine rolled her eyes. This woman had not changed—she still had to be better than her in everything! Forget it. She would act like the past and let her have it this time as well.

“Yeah, having a daughter is great.” Janine chortled. “But you’ve got to keep a close eye on your daughter. Don’t let her run into bad people and walk the path you’ve taken!”

“Janine Baker! You—”

‘Why is this woman just the same like old times? Such a sharp tongue!’

The two women stared at each other for a long time with changing emotions on their faces.

They came from families of high social standing, and they were still the girls guarding each other’s side despite experiencing life.

Both of them chuckled in unison.

It had been so many years without news from each other, but they still had endless things to talk about when they met.

The poor Cordelia would have been done with grocery shopping in 20 minutes, but she received her mother’s call asking her to return later. Therefore, she wheeled the shopping cart weaving through isles and almost memorized all the price tags…

Xyla told Janine what she had gone through in recent years briefly. The latter grabbed her hand tightly with red eyes, biting her lips, and was unable to speak a word.

Xyla had to console her instead. “It’s fine. It’s all in the past. Fortunately, Cordelia has been by my side these years, or I wouldn’t be here today.”

Janine nodded with a comforted smile. She now knew that the princess was named Cordelia. Like her name, she was like a jewel.

“Let’s stop talking about me.” Xyla refilled Janine’s tea. “What about you? Have you been doing well?”

“Not long after we had a fallout, I followed my family’s arrangement and got married… Hah, I married the wrong guy. I got a divorce after giving birth to my son. I’ve been living in Chaiseland all this while and came to Centrolis the day before yesterday over some business affairs.”
