Stop It She's Remarrying by Stellar Strands

Chapter 937

“Look, you can’t stay here. Can’t you see we’re about to have some girl talk?” Fia softened her tone and pleaded gently to him. She knew he would not be able to resist her plea.

Sitting up on her bed, Fia chatted with Barbara for a while before looking at the girl in black. “So, Madam Barbara, she’s your friend, right?”

“Yes, a really good friend. In fact, she’s like a sister to me,” Barbara replied, with a hidden meaning behind her words.

“Sister?” Fia smiled. “Sally said you and Britney are really close. Would Britney be angry if you suddenly have a new sister?”

Barbara’s smile almost cracked when she heard this.

Looking at her, Fia said calmly, “Or have you lost interest in Britney?”

“Mrs. Maxwell, please don’t stir up conflict between the sisters. Every family has its own problems, you know.”
